"I've been using these for over two months now, and they are super comfortable and lightweight. Quality is great, and it's very comfortable again."
"I was looking for an all round harness but do mostly sport climbing. I first purchased the Zone but found the leg loops and waist were too loose for me to not slip out while inverted. I was glad to see BD offering an XS and XXS for the Solution. Build quality is excellent and the belay loop and gear loops are sturdy. Looking forward to using it next season. Love the color too."
"Good quality, wish it had more adjustment though. Im a bigger guy so the one adjustment strap is almost all the way open. Since there isnt one on the other side, this creates a problem where the thin stretchy string that hold the leg parts up are miss aligned, because i cant move the connection point on the waist. So it puts the strings in a weird and awkward position way over to the right side. Also there isnt any leg adjustment, so if you have big legs they wont fit too well. Basically, if you fit this harness its great. But it cant fit to you."
"Very comfortable harness with excellent weight distribution. The waist belt and leg loops eliminate pressure points, even when hanging or belaying for extended periods. Lightweight, low-profile, and moves naturally while climbing. Easily the most comfortable gym harness I’ve used."
"Light weight and still comfortable to spend some time in, fills that slot of a multi use piece pretty well. Goes over boots well at my size 13, so you can get it over a mountaineering boot without crampons."
"It's comfortable to use and fits well."
"Ive tried a lot of different harnesses and the simplicity and feel of this one is my favorite go-to"
"I just use it in the gym and have found it to be a very comfortable harness that I don’t even notice I’m wearing."
"Fits well, much more comfortable than older harness"
"Accurate sizing & good quality."
