"I'm always struggling to grab what I need off my overly crowded gear loops on my main harness. The IAD is the solution, and it fits like a glove. I barely feel it and it loads well. I use this for my radio to keep it out of the way and hang flexible water packs off the side back loops for long multi-pitches. Plus extra cams, gear, etc."
"I already own one of these, but was guiding a client that wanted to learn how to aid climb. A good chest harness is pretty important, so I ordered one in a smaller size so she could use it during our guided day together. This harness is functional without any extra."
"This sling has several loops which the prior model did not and this keeps my cams separated very well. I highly recommend this unit."
"This sling rocks! It does double duty for me, carrying big loads of gear one day and the next I use it to help carry camera gear. It is amazing!"
"The double sling distributes the weight of the gear evenly on both sides of my body while climbing, and the backpack straps and chest strap keep the sling in place very well. It’s comfortable to wear too! I also like the shoulder loops. They’re perfect for a walkie talkie, laser, whistle, or any other small tool. My only note: It’s a little difficult to reach the gear loops at the back, but that’s unavoidable, and I’d rather have them than not. Overall great product! Great price!"
"Bought this for my pregnant wife so she could follow me on trad multipitch routes, since her full body harness only has two small gear loops and no waist belt. It keeps the gear weight even, is comfortable on her shoulders, and the multiple loops help with organization and gear transfer at belays. It’s exactly what we were in need of!"
"Lightweight, comfy and super usefuly for all that extra gear on walls, as well as gear handovers. Nice to clip aiders as well, so they don‘t dangle as low."
"Coming from the old BD wall harness I wanted the sectioned off loops but didn’t want the full heavy metal harness. Excited to try it out and really like the two small loops up top for smaller go-to gear like hooks, beaks, or daisys. Loving all the improved big wall and aid gear BD is putting out."
"fine"
"very convenient for working on big walls!"
