      I tried on every harness in the store, and this is the only one that felt good on my large frame. It's comfortable, and big enough for a hefty gal like me.

          I have now owned two of these, and I would definitely buy another. I really appreciate the adjustibility of the leg loops. The harness is solid - as sturdy as they come! I have no complaints.

          Comments about Metolius Safe Tech All Around Harness:

          I have owned this harness for 2 years and its still going strong....very few wear points have been noticed. My black diamond wore thin in less time but the metolius has been true. And if you forget to double back your harness the buckle still holds a substational amount of force to save your forgetful self from splatting. ;)

              I would recommend this to anyone that climbs indoor and/or outdoor. It is the most solid all-around harness I've worn. Obviously, there are harnesses that are bulkier and safer, but this is the best all-around in terms of cost, safety, and comfort.

              Very Good All Around Harness

              By stinkbeastk9

              from Boulder, CO

              About Me Avid Climber, Mostly a trad climber

              Site Member

              Pros

              • Comfortable to hang in
              • Large beefy gear loops
              • Solidly constructed

              Cons

              • Rear gear loops position

              Best Uses

              • Long Climbs
              • Outdoor
              • Trad sport and toproping

              Comments about Metolius Safe Tech All Around Harness:

              This harness has so far been outstanding. It's really well constructed with bonus safety features so it has the potential to be somewhat forgiving of your errors (e.g. tying-in incorrectly). I rack almost all my pro on the gear loops so I'm grateful for the large and beefy gear loops. I will say that the rear gear loops seem a bit far back but still within reach. I've spent some time hanging in this harness and find it quite comfortable at least for the typical duration of hanging you do in trad climbing and rappelling. Overall, I'm very pleased and think it worth the extra cost you pay over other harnesses.
