Love this harness!
I bought this harness back in 2018 prior to going ice climbing for the first time, I haven't found one I like nearly as much since. For a lightweight harness; it's well padded, durable, packs super small, has all the gear loops I need and I LOVE the fifth gear loop. When I'm trad or multi-pitch climbing I really appreciated that added organization. Detachable leg loops are also another thing I like about this harness, as I see a lot of lighter weight harnesses relying on elastic non-adjustable. The detachable feature gives more options for bathroom use and layering more comfortably when on longer/alpine style routes.

Bizarrely small gear loops
Very comfortable harness, light weight, low profile and packs down nice and small. My one issue with this harness is, like many of the other BD harnesses at the moment, the gear loops are very small and set such that they sit very close into my body and are hard to rack gear on to. I've climbed in similar harnesses (the BD Solution) and bought this one hoping that the 'guide' version would have slightly larger gear loops.
Great fit
This is my first harness and I wanted an all around one to fit any type of climbing I want to do. I barely feel it when I have all my gear and quickdraws attached to the harness and it fit nicely over any layers I decide to wear. I recently used it outdoors and for a lead climbing class and it feels very secure and comfortable on the climb. The only thing I would say is that lowering in the harness can be a bit uncomfotable for your inner thighs if you tend to have bigger thighs. There is less padding than other harnesses to allow for the lightweight comfortable fit. But overall it is a decent sacrifice for the overall functionality of the harness as a whole. I would definitely buy another.
Small gear loops
The gear loops are *extremely* tiny. Also, not much padding.
This harness is great, super comfortable and easy to adjust, love the lightweight feel and pack-ability. I even trust it with my life.

Trad Harness?
I was excited to give this harness a shot after having my Arcteryx for so long. Its not really ideal for me for trad. The gear loops are super small and even with the added one at the back I feel it just doesn't cut it. It feels crowded. I would love to see larger gear loops. For long hanging belays its actuallty really uncomfortable. I do love that I can change the size of the leg loops but still find it pinches when rappelling. I have only had it for a few weeks now and the belay loop is starting to frey and look very worn in.
Versatile and comfortable!
I have used this harness for gym climbing, sport climbing, and cascading and have only had great experiences! it dries quickly and is easy to adjust. the gear loops are very accessible and the harness itself feels very lightweight. an all around great harness and suited for many uses
Solid harness;
This harness is designed to be used for rock climbing or ice climbing, and as such does not absorb water. If you will be doing hanging belays or whipping a lot, you might want something with more padding. I find that padding gets stinky during gym sessions, and I hate when my harness is wet from sweat, so I use this as an all-around harness. The gear loops are adequate, the leg loops are adjustable. I wish it had two buckles to more easily center the tie-in point, but you can't have everything.

really UNconfortable
I have this harnes for about 3 months, I really give it so opportunities... The concept is good, but not the results: - When I climb really trad, with 2 racks, whater, shoes it is absolutly uncomfortable, my hips fight with it every movement. I finish every route with littles wounds at every hip. - Legs belt are always hooking with wire carabiner, with friends, with stoppers... I think this is an sportive harness to try to be a trad one but absolutly not. I'm so sad with it...
best harness!
I'm on my second technician harness. I lost some weight and the Medium I had originally bought became too big for me, so I bought a Small. So yeah, I love this harness SO much I bought the same one again. It is so comfortable. I really just love everything that BD makes. Love the color, fit, material, and craft of this harness. It really is well-made. I use it in the gym and at the crag. If you're considering this harness, send it! I bet you will love it too.
