Feels like a hyperlight Sitta harness. Fits on the small side, order a size up from your normal size, especially if you're using for ice climbing or mountaineering. Amazing for sport climbing as well, harness disappears while climbing. The updated belay loop is also a great feature, no pronounced edges so it can rotate snag free. Gear loops hold everything you need for any mission. If you're going to spend lots of time hanging in your harness, get the Sitta instead. For light and fast missions, mountaineering/ice climbing, and redpoint burns on your project, this is an awesome harness.
The Whisper is like no other harness I have experience. It feels like you are not wearing a harness at all and the freedom of movement is next level. I was a little worry with how lightweight and thin the waist/ leg loop material was when taking a big fall while sport climbing, but no bruising or sharpness around the waist and legs. If you are looking to streamline and shave some ounces in a harness then I would for sure try out the Whisper. Game changer!!!
