Great Budget Harness
September 17, 2008
I bought this harness when I was doing mainly gym climbing and it worked reasonably well in that role... There's nothing partiularly special about the harness other than the $. It's pretty comfortable to sit in (not the most comfortable, but decent), the gear loops have held up very well, and it's fully adjustable. I recently took it out on a full day of trad climbing with at least 8 rappels and it still held up to the job quite well. If you aren't doing a ton of long routes or specialized climbing, this is it. At 33" in waist, I'm just over the center of the adjustment range for the medium.

I've been using mine for several months for both indoor and sport climbing. It's a great fit, wonderfully padded, with a number of loops to keep your straps nice and neat. It truly is a lot of bang for the buck and definitely a great first harness. The one thing I *really* hate are the way the gear loops stick out. The front ones tend to rub the inside of my arms when I walk or just stand there with my arms to the side. Since I don't carry any equipment in the front loops, I'm about to cut them off.

I bought this harness mainly to tie myself into my very tall trees in order to prune them. It worked quite well and make me feel quite secure while wielding a chain saw 30' above the ground!

Great padded harness, comfortable for long days at the climbing gym or on the rocks, I don't do multi-day big wall climbs yet, so I can't answer for that. Size ranges are a narrow, but at the same time, you don't have to deal with a lot of extra material. The molded gear loops are big enough to easily hook up your rack and flexible enough to not get in the way. Easy to use buckles, wide adjustment range on the legs, and it comes in a surprisingly nice zippered mesh bag to store it in.
