Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"As the most-padded and comfortable harness in Petzl's line, the Calidris works well for long multi-pitch trad and aid lines. Sliding DoubleBack buckles on the waist and legs can be adjusted easily to accommodate layers for cold days or keep you from going numb at a hanging belay. The Calidris' four gear loops hold a large rack of cams, stoppers, and hooks. Petzl also added a tag line to let you trail a rope and reload half way through a long aid pitch."

From Moosejaw:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Enveloped in a breathable exterior mesh of closed cell perforated foam padding, the wide waist belt and leg loop Petzl Calidris Harness provides all the comfort, support, and ventilation you need for an extended climb. Perfect for ascending long aid routes and climbing forays requiring harness hang time, such as cleaning and route fixing, this lightweight and comfortable safety sling compliments the task with a large gear-carrying capacity. DoubleBack buckles on the leg loops easily adjust for different-size climbers or clothing thickness, while the two DoubleBack buckles at the waist allow for adjustment and security in a single motion. Giving insurance the tie-in point is reinforced to increased resistance against abrasion, and the green belay loop is easily identifiable for connecting a descender or belay device."

"Wonderfully comfortable harness and adjustments are easy to manage. I wear this harness year round for use with mountaineering and rock work and haven't had any complaints with it at all. Definitely worth the price tag..."

"This is a great harness. I have used it for top-rope, lead, and gym climbing. No problems. It is comfortable on and off the rope. I have made some short hikes in between routes and I felt no discomfort. It is lightweight and the perfect addition to your gear bag. Buy this quality product!

Here is to many redpoints in your future. Happy climbing."

"This harness is really comfortable to just sit there and hang on the rope. That's the only good thing about it. The buckles at the leg loop tend to get rusty easily after wash. I have to put some WB-40 to the rusting spots. Hope it won't damage the fabric. It's heavy and pricey."
