I love the weight and the material of the harness. I ordered the same size I wear in other Black Diamond harnesses. Unfortunately the leg loops aren’t adjustable and are tight on me so I’m concerned they’ll be uncomfortable. I don’t have particularly large legs and can’t recall adjusting previous harnesses so I didn’t think about it when ordering. Disappointing because it has a lot of other great qualities like the infinity loop.
I bought this to use in the gym and some smaller climbs in the Southern Utah area and it has been great so far! No tugging or pinching in awkward spots. It also works for men. My husband had to borrow it at one point and he had no complaints!
Fit is strange, it uncomfortable squeezes my thighs but then also has a gap along the bottom edge and flares outward. This is not a harness I would want to have on all day. Am returning.
I belay and climb almost every day for my job and this harness is so comfy for belaying. The wider Leg loops fit very well. Very easy to adjust and also super light compared to most I've tried out.
The Zone is lightweight, very comfortable for all day, carries alot of gear, and durable. I'm enjoying mine so far. I've used several different harnesses and this one is my current favorite.
Beautiful design, nice colors, light in weight. Easy to use, practical to pack. It was time to make a change from my previous harness, this choice for me was excellent.
Secure, comfy and easy tie in. Snug as a bug…lightweight…don’t even know it’s on.
This is my favorite harness by BD yet. Light yet super comfortable.
