      Good ish

      Very comfortable. However I find the leg loop is unsuitable for attaching prussiks - the crab rides up towards the gear loop so have reluctantly had to adopt the cowtail method, perhaps no bad thing. Also the rear gear loop is disappointingly made of fiddly cord rather than the excellent semi-rigid plastic used for the other four loops. I’d have guessed it’s for hauling but the product description says it’s a gear loop.

      New harness

      I didn't think the design was as good as my old black diamond harness. The waist belt hangs loose from the buckle instead of tucking in. There is a gap in the padding of the waist strap, where the buckle section is, leaving a stretch of the waistband unpadded. The position of the gear loops means quick draws are too close to my body and can not be unfastened as easily as in the old harness.
      I was very disappointed having been a fan of Chouinard, then Back Diamond for a long time. I returned the harness to the supplier and will buy a different brand.

      Super comfy harness

      This is honestly a great harness. Having had it for about a month I've used it for indoor leading, full days coaching and a very windy day trad climbing with lots of layers on.

      I'm super happy with how it's performed, the comfort is unreal and I was a bit worried about the gear loops trad climbing but my worries were squashed when wearing lots of bulky layers and being able to still easily get it on and efficiently use a full trad rack on the loops.

      The solution guide is a really comfy harness and would recommend it to anyone for any climbing.
