"The Momentum is functional across all disciplines. The waistbelt and leg loops are padded with closed-cell foam for comfort and lined with BD-Lux for breathability.

An excellent, affordable all-around harness, it is equipped with four molded gear loops and a full-strength haul loop, so it'll hold enough draws for a bolted endurance fest or enough pro for a gear-eating crack.

"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)."

"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."

"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."
