Great design
Sweet harness! Materials are solid, adjusters move how you want them to, and the belay loop is a great step-up from normal. Only issue is the sizing, it fits about 1-2 inches tighter in the waist than my other size medium BD harnesses, one of them being a momentum. Unfortunately I do not see a size & fit chart on the product page. I’ll be exchanging this one for the next size up👍 Height: 5’9” Weight: 170lbs Waist: 33”

I miss the first gen harness
Comparing to the original solution guide, most features have taken a step back. Material quality feels cheap, seamless belay loop is small, 5th gear loop is too tight to clip easily, and the harness feels heavier. I’m not a huge fan of the adjustable leg loops as they aren’t acrisply yhat easy to adjust and I am still trying to get them to sit well. I don’t think ice features are necessary on a harness this heavy and bulky. Gear loops are minorly larger but have a new shape that seems helpful. I really just miss the material of the previous gen. Still comfy enough to climb in but am breaking it in.

Great all around harness
My favorite all around harness I've used yet. Tackled sport climbing with ease and comfort, and gear intensive ice climbing no problem. I forsee this being my daily driver for all outdoor climbing!

Solution Guide Harness
Looks like a great harness and a welcome addition to the portfolio for trad and ice climbers. Previously had a momentum harness and I’m happy with the oversized gear loops and wider leg loop padding. Can easily fit a full single rack of 7-8 cams on a single loop without crowding. Jury’s out on the 5th gear loop but happy to have it. Slight concern about hot spots where the gear loops terminate inside the waist band but need mileage on it to see if it is an issue. Would recommend.

Gear Loop Locations on Size Small
Just posting an image to show the size small has the rear gear loops almost touching so the 5th loop would be piled over everything. Always hard to manage a size small with balance of gear storage, but it's been done. Harness seems great, but I just didn't like the proportions of the small. Would be great if companies showed actual photos of each size as it really does change how you interact with the harness, but that will never happen.

Excellent features, great fit, and super lightweight
You cannot beat this harness for the price you pay. I can wear it all day long and never feel like it is cumbersome or uncomfortable at all. It has large gear loops with ample space for trad climbing and the infinity loop is super secure while also being extremely lightweight. I love my new harness!
