The Solution Harness is optimized for comfort and built for those who pursue all of climbing’s disciplines. It features our innovative Contour Edge leg loops and waist that maintain rigidity in the center but soften at the edges, providing a comfortable fit for redpoint burns and marathon belays.
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.
Patented Infinity Loop for belaying,made from Dyneema which is durable, low profile, and eliminates the dreaded belay-loop-shift when dogging a route and the belay loop seam catches.

"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 harness, super comfortable on the leg loops and tons of places to clip stuff"
"I've owned many BD harnesses over the years and they never disappoint. The current solution is no exception. It is comfortable, easy to use and the racking gear loops are in the right spot. You can't go wrong with this harness."
"Sometimes the upgrades or new versions change to much and you would rather the original, but not in this case. The solution has been my go to harness for years and I have had several different colors. The new model is an amazing upgrade. The gear loops being bigger is a huge plus for my outdoor adventures. The added 5th gear loop on the back is perfect for anything I need out of the way. The belay loop. . . amazing to not have the stitching making it turn smoothly on the harness as needed. All in all a perfect upgrade and I am very happy."
"Fits nicely and the leg loop style makes it quite simple to set up. Comfortable when hanging for extended periods of time but a little on the heavier side relative to other options, but for indoor/sport routes the extra mass is unnoticeable."
"Love the big gear loops. I can stuff a single rack + 6-8 alpine draws alpine draws in each one. Minimalistic harness that still maintains a reasonable level of comfort."
"comfy to hang in when I peel off an easy climb like a gumby"
"Just took it out for its first climb and the harness did amazing"
"Very comfortable to wear, even for a long period of time"
