The Contour Edge leg loops and waist maintain rigidity in the center and soften at the edges, which reduces pressure points and contours to the shape of the body. The latest Solution includes updated gear loops with enough real estate to rack 15 quickdraws per side, so you can comfortably carry a double rack and link pitches. A seamless Infinity Loop for belaying and an easy-to-find rear fifth gear loop finish out the feature set for this all-around climbing staple.

Most reviewers find the Men's Solution comfortable, especially the leg loops on long hangs and while belaying, and like its large gear loops and infinity belay loop. It is used for sport, top-rope, gym and some trad and single-pitch guiding. The most common critique is sizing, with two reviewers finding the medium smaller than older models; others called it a bit bulky, and one felt pressure points from the gear loop ends.

"This harness has everything I’d want for sport and top rope. I was sorely tempted by the zone harness for that sweet purple color but it seemed like overkill. I bought this because it seemed like a great compromise between comfort and utility, plus the infinity belay loop is incredible."
"This harness has been excellent over the three weeks of regular climbing and single pitch guiding I have done in it. I find the leg loops to be much more supportive while belaying and projecting than my old Technician harness I love not having a barrack on my belay loop. I can carry a double rack!"
"Great product and even better gift for my future son-in-law!!! Thank You!"
"Not absolutely blowing anyone’s mind, but so far super comfortable for long hangs and especially moving around on the ground in it, I forget the harness is there. Would definitely recommend especially for the price point!"
"All of the gear loop terminations create pressure points that make the harness very uncomfortable. The gear loops are also noticeably further back on my hips than my previous harness that make it difficult to access gear."
"This is a nice, comfortable, well designed harness but it fits small. I have a reliable 32" waist. The men's medium (30"-33" waist) is too small for me. I wish I had ordered a size large harness."
"New sizing is smaller. I have been a medium in BD harnesses for over 10 years and now the M is too tight. I am a 33" waist so on the cusp of advertised sizing but these are tighter than my older models. The stretchy leg fabric blew out the first time I wore the harness and is now scruntchy and ugly. Will try a large and see how it goes."
"Great comfortable amazing purchase was using rentals before don’t regret any of it"
"quality harness, on the thicker side of average but good."
"Looks awesome and feels great!"
