Disappointed in the new model
"Things I liked: comfortable, color, gear loops are large and have a good shape Things I dislike: - Big size discrepancy between the new models and past. I wear have a size 31" waist. I have always used the old solution guide harness in size medium. The waist of this harness measures almost 10" shorter than the old solution guide. I see that there are similar reviews for the size discrepancy in the new solution guide webpage too. I'm fine with absorbing this change by using the adjustable waist belt and having more webbing in play but the result is that the gear loops are not centered. I climb with the belay loop pulled way right of center. - I have been using this harness this 20 September. I am writing this review 2 weeks later on 4 October. I have already damaged the leg loop attachment bungee in one pitch of chimneying. There are exposed stands of the inner bungee visible and some have been torn. This is a design flaw. The issue is that the attachment point is above the bottom edge of the harness waist band. The result is that in a chimney/offwidth, the attachment point is not free to move. To be fair, this harness is supposed to be for sport climbing. The photos advertising are of trad climbers and I do not think it is beyond this products use case to expect that people will use it for trad climbing. I would recommend not using this product for trad climbing. I have attached a number of photos showing the large size mismatch and the damage to the leg loop attachment point."
