Black Diamond Solution Guide

s really nice to put that there keep it out of your way and then your gear loops can stay free. If you have a huge rack on the harness, so guys that's...

First, this product like many BD products is great. It is durable and well made. Unfortunately like many harnesses for me, it fits poorly. I am 5'7" and 145lbs. A small waist is a little too small (better than a medium), places the gear loops on my back and the leg loops are way too tight. A medium ...

Oddly the top tie-in-point is much thinner and softer than the lower point. The leg loops are great but it ineffective if the tie in loop wears out first. Additionally, the haul loop still feels very fragile, considering the add video even shows somebody climbing a chimney.

I’ve used this harness for a year now. Pros: the outer material on this thing is bomber, like carharts w/ double layer knees—very durable and ready to take abuse. It’s also relatively thin and light weight, esp given the surface area of the waist and leg loops. I love this about the harness.

Cons:...

I would not recommend using the sizing recommendations from BD on this one. Or buying this from moosejaw where they do not accept returns on harnesses apparently.

I've been using BD harnesses for 10 years and have always been a medium thats fit just right (33 inch waist)

I really want to like this harness. It's so close!

Pros: It's lightweight, fairly comfortable (usually - see cons) and very well constructed - looks like it can handle some serious abuse. The waste belt adjustment buckle is simple and effective. Enough gear loops.

Cons: 1. My worst issue with this...

I really wanted to like this harness but it just didn’t seam very user friendly. It felt really stiff right out of the gate and the gear loops are far to close to the harness to blindly clip things. It also ran small. I have noticed this on several different black diamond models, that if you are not...

While the construction of this harness is sufficient in most places, the tie-in points are thinner than any other harness manufactured by BD. Couple that with tie-in stitching that is exposed to rope abrasion, and you have a very burly harness that will wear out at the tie-in points before anything ...

Overall this is an excellent upgrade from my harness that was almost 20 years old. Lightweight, sturdy, comfortable, all around low profile. The only thing I would critique is the gear loops could be a few cm further out. Sometimes when climbing my shirt bunches and if I choose the wrong cam and go ...

Due to the construction of this harness, the impact is spread fairly well throughout the waist. It utilizes 3 main bands to disperse the impact and has held up well for the past 3 years.

The only con to this harness is the leg loops. Out of the package, it may feel tight and restricting. After nume...
