"It's adjustable; that's nice. It's padded; hooray for me.

I have big legs so this thing digs into me when I'm not suited up for winter climbing. I don't plan on using it when the summer roles around again; I only used it last summer a few times."

"Good harness, taken a lot of falls and a 20 foot whiper. It's a great harness, would not sport climb without it."
