I love this harness! I just started climbing and I saw that the solution harness was well rated. This one is the same but has a cute little signature on the side. The color is not as pictured, its not a bright red, it’s more of a muted red, closer to a mauve color. Maybe I would call it a berry color? It looks quite elegant in person, but is not a blazing red. But anyways, it’s a fun and unique color and I like it a lot.
I upgraded my harness after 10 years from a more entry level black diamond one. WOW. They have made some improvements since my first harness. This harness is so beautifully constructed. Sleek, clean, and really comfortable. I've got real thighs, and love how the leg loops are wider at the underside than my old harness or at least seem to extend further, so when I'm hanging it doesn't dig into my thigh. I sized up to a S even though my waist is XS, my thighs are the measurements for the S and it fits very well. Love that I don't have to fuss with the adjustment straps, and it hasn't been a problem with any of the pants I'm wearing. Despite some rough walk offs, this harness hasn't shown any signs of wear so far. The babsi colors are the icing on the cake -- makes me happy just looking at it!
My wife and older daughter have these. They are newer to the sport but have zero complaints - which makes me happy because I’ve been trying to make this a family sport for some years now. My wife wears anything between a size 0 and 2 in jeans (depending on brand) and wears a size small in this harness. My 7 year old daughter fits fine into XS, the XXS fits too but is pushing the limits on the waist.
Bought this harness for my partner to try, as I had the male version already and absolutely loved it. Now, she loves it! We used to spend twice the price on a competitor’s harness, assuming it was better … but it simply isn’t. You can’t get a better harness for the price - I can climb in this all day long and not get annoyed or feel uncomfortable, and everything feels solid on it
I am a 24 waist and 35 hip and 5'4". I have a very athletic build and normally I fit xxs. I ordered this in xxs assuming it would fit as well as my pervious solution harness. I had to return and size up to xs to accommodate my quads. This means my waistband is a bit looser, but its better then my leg circulation being cut off hahah. Either way, super cute harness and I love it!
This harness was at my local climbing gym. I purchased another harness on the Black Diamond website but it wasn't comfortable at all so I went back to this one even though it is a bit more pricy. The sizing for S is a little bigger than the other model but it fit well and I was comfortable. No complaint so far.
This harness is able to withstand a boat load of carrying and falling. The only complaint my girlfriend had about it is that the color within the photos is slightly more vibrant than in real life, so keep that in mind.
Feels very lightweight, comfortable when hanging, and adjustable leg loops make it hassle free. The color of the harness is a lighter pastel color than the photo displays, but still super pretty!
Great all rounder harness, comfortable for long term wear and simple no frills design makes it a great beginner’s harness but will work for you through to advanced crag climbing. Love it!
My wife and I both got Solution Harness and are both very happy with them. Though the leg loops aren't adjustable, they fit snugly. It's super lightweight and very easy to put on.
