Many reviewers find the Women's Momentum comfortable and well padded, and like the colors, easy adjustment and gear loops for gym, sport, multi-pitch and canyoneering use. Fit is the main point of disagreement: most report a good fit, but about ten reviewers, often with smaller waists and larger thighs, found the leg loops tight with limited adjustment while the waist ran large. Several suggest sizing up.

"I love this harness and have worn it for years! I work at a climbing gym and after years of wearing it while climbing and belaying it started to have wear and tear that made it unsafe to keep using. I was so ready to buy another one, but the new color combos are too bright! I miss my maroon and charcoal combo one so much and am struggling to buy a harness that I will wear multiple times a week when I don't like the colors :("
"Very comfy! Love how well it fits and ease of use. I only recently got into climbing and have only used it indoors but it has been great."
"Appreciate the sizing available and adjustability within each size. My daughter has grown out of her kid-sized harness and the XS should be great for her to come climbing with me for the next few years."
"Harness is comfy when climbing and well made for the price, but the fit is weird. The waist is almost too large but the leg loops are very tight and high up on my legs, so that when I'm belaying it pinches. I emailed and the response (very clearly AI generated) was to try a harness with adjustable leg loops. It does! Return shipping is almost as much as the harness so I am keeping it, but wouldn't purchase again."
"I really wanted to love this harness. The color is super cute, and I like the overall design. Unfortunately, the leg-loop fit just doesn’t work well for my body. I’m 5'2" and my weight has fluctuated between about 130–140 lb, and even with the leg straps adjusted to their loosest setting, they feel quite tight around my thighs. I can wear it, but the pressure becomes uncomfortable and makes it difficult for me to fully enjoy the harness. I think it could be a great option for someone whose proportions fit the leg loops better, but I wish there were more adjustment range through the thighs."
"Great product for beginner climbers."
"Great harness and great fit. I was on the line of xs and small, I sized up and that was the right decision! I can't wait to get more use out of this harness, I plan on having it around for many adventures to come."
"Super comfortable!"
"Great harness for when you’re just starting out!"
"I only adjust the waist and Im done, you can be ready in a matter of seconds."
