Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Black Diamond Focus Speed Advanced Harness (Fall 2007) The Focus Speed Harness by Black Diamond features pre-threaded Speed Buckles on the waistbelt and leg loops that don t require doubling back, two sizes and traditional gear loops for quick and easy adjustability and performance.Weight: XS-M: 465 g (1 lb) L-XXL: 500 g (1 lb 1.6 oz)"

From Backcountry Outlet:
"With new Speed Buckles, the Black Diamond Focus Speed Harness goes on quick, keeps the tie-in point centered, and fits easily over several layers of clothes. As an added advantage, Speed Buckles never need to be doubled back, so you'll never forget this important step. By placing one buckle on each side of the waist-belt, Black Diamond also eliminated the sideways shift that harnesses experience when you start layering for cold weather. Four gear loops on the Focus Speed Harness hold a big trad or alpine rack, and a full-strength haul loop provides a point to clip your trail rope on long routes."

From Massey's:
"With the features you need for all-around performance, the Focus is neither stripped down nor overly padded. Anatomically contoured and padded with seven millimeters of closed-cell foam, the bullhorn waistbelt and droppable leg loops provide support and cool comfort. It has four traditional gear loops and reinforced belay and haul loops. Providing durability and convenience, the Focus Speed is built with prethreaded waist and leg loop quick adjustment buckles that just need to be tightened or loosened to fit. Excess webbing tucks into the Hypalon -backed belt loops."

From REI:
"Designed for longer routes, whether you're clipping bolts or plugging gear, the Black Diamond Focus Speed harness rises to the challenge. Ergonomic bullhorn-shaped waistbelt and compression-molded foam padding helps distribute weight evenly and offers solid comfort and support. Specialized pre-threaded Speed Buckles don't require doubling back, cinching quickly and positively for ensuring security on route. 3mm hip pads add comfort on hanging belays, and 3-D mesh lining is soft and cooling against bare skin. Fully functional with a sculpted waistband, droppable leg loops, four standard gear loops and a bomber haul loop. Harness works great for alpine routes, while offering abundant comfort and gear hauling for longer trad routes and all-around usage."

"First of all the speed system (the double buckles allow you to tighten easily without having to double back the webbing afterwards) is great and can fit many different people. I've found it very comfortable wearing it in short top-roping climbs and long multi-pitch climbs where I'm wearing it as many as 4 or 5 hours."
