Summary
This is my first harness and it's great. I thought I'd have to spend a lot more to get something this nice. I don't expect to buy a new harness for a long time.
Pros
- Inexpensive
- Comfortable
- Simple
Cons
- Difficult to get waist really tight
- Not a lot of padding
I went to the store and tried on a few different harnesses and the Black Diamond Momentum AL was just as comfortable as the more expensive ones. It's a simple design but has a few nice features that make me glad I bought it.
The gear loops are bent out from your body which makes it easier to clip to one-handed and without looking.
The leg straps have elastic tensioners that tighten easily but still don't constrict your thighs.
The only bad thing about it is that it can be a pain to get the waist really tight. Once you have it tightened and doubled-backed though, it feels secure and doesn't loosen.
I've only used this harness on two days of climbing so far, but there is no sign of wear. It's a Black Diamond, so I expect it'll hold up well.

Most of the time I love this harness. It's solid and well built, but on a hanging belay this harness really could us some improvement with the padding placement.

Feels good, comfortable to just sit in as well as climb in. Would have liked a little extra webbing for the waist fastening though as it's a pretty tight fit (I'm a 34" toned waist and it's very snug) and the buckles are not quick to tighten (not a major problem unless you're planning on taking it off and on a lot).
Not sure what the elastic velcro bit is for at the front, doesn't seem to fit a purpose especially as when you stretch it open to put it on, it detaches, and when it's attached, it doesn't seem to do a great deal...
All in all though, I'm very happy with it.

Sweet Harness. It is my first harness. I have had it for almost two years. I use it for both alpine and rock climbing. It seems to be holding up nicely.
Pros:
Some padding, fairly light, plenty of gear loops, easy to put on and adjust.
Cons:
If you are hanging from it for a long time, not enough padding where you need it.
I would buy it again. The price is right.

This is a great harness. It was my first one ever to own. It is very comfortable I hardly have any problems with it. I can also adjust the straps around the legs which was a big feature for me that I liked.
I would recommend this harness so anyone who is looking to get started in climbing. It is great and is a reasonable price.

A great harness. It has served me well for over a year now. It has everything you need, plus comfort. I have already recommended to many of my friends and they have all had nothing but good to say as well.
