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.
The gear loops are *extremely* tiny. Also, not much padding.
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
This harness is great. I got it to replace my BD Momentum that has lasted me years and I'm sure that this will too. However, the harness is a little lacking in padding at the thighs for longer days. If you're spending all day in it hanging during multi-pitch, it can cut in to your legs slightly. Overall, it's a solid harness that's served me well.
Fine, does the job, but extraordinarily uncomfortable to hang in.
