Gym and sport climbers praise this harness as very comfortable, light and low profile, especially when hanging or belaying, and like the simple single buckle. The most common critique, from about 20 reviewers, is that the gear loops are small and set far back, making it less suited to trad and multi-pitch. Sizing is mixed: about 20 say it runs small or that the fixed elastic leg loops are tight for muscular thighs, while others say it matches the size chart, so check your measurements.

"Let me be straight up. My body shape is a bit weird. I have a 34 inch waist, I’m 5’11 and 215 lbs. I’ve been climbing for 6-7 years and I hoped my thighs would get smaller but they didn’t. My thighs are like wine barrels and this is the ONLY harness I’ve ever used that is RIDICULOUSLY comfortable. RIDICULOUSLY COMFORTABLE! Even if I take a fat whipper and launch my 165 lb belayer to the moon. COMFY!!!"
"Very true to size for 5’10 male. Feels comfy when taking and lowering"
"Very good deal and the harness is good quality!"
"The harness is overall good and i think it woul be a good sport climbing or gym climbing harness. . But for multipitch trad the gear loops are just too small. I could fit less gear than i could on my momentum harness. . . So this is a bummer but I'll be putting this in my gym bag i guess since it is pretty comfortable just not what i was hoping for."
"I bought this to replace my old worn out black diamond harness. This one is great and more comfortable than the last one. I have sort of thick legs so I was a little concerned that the leg holes aren’t adjustable but they have some stretch and it fits well."
"Great as expected!"
"Comfortable and elegant."
"Love this harness! The elastic on the legs takes some getting used to but is really convenient. The harness is really light and just comfortable overall to sit or whip in."
"My first climbing harness and I'm super pleased with it so far. I'm 5'7" and 140 lb and the harness fits great. Super comfortable rapeling and belaying"
"Like the harness, fits very well but the belay loop is a bit inconvenient and the gear loops are too small for trad. Awesome gym harness"
