Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"The Petzl Corax harness is a comfortable and versatile adjustable harness. Sized with 2-sizes fits most, it is hard to pick a "wrong size." The use of doubleback buckles on the waist-belt and leg-loops allows precise adjustment, and are easy to use. The belay loop has illustrations for where to tie in, the tie in points have reinforcements to resist wear. The waist belt uses "frame" technology which improves comfort and ventilation while saving weight. The leg loop adjustment buckles are located above padding to avoid pressure points. 4 rigid gear loops hold gear away from the body for easy access. Weight: 1lb. 2oz. (S1), 1lb. 5oz. (S2)."

From Backcountry.com:
"Thanks to a large range of adjustments, the Petzl Corax II Harness fits well whether you wear it on a summer sport climb or over five layers on a winter mountaineering trip. Petzl designed the Corax II harness with two pre-threaded DoubleBack buckles on the waist to help keep the belay loop centered while allowing an incredible amount of adjustment. The same type of buckles help you adjust the legs to fit extra layers, and releasable rear elastic lets you answer nature's call without removing your harness. Four gear loops, two Caritool slots, and a haul line loop provide plenty of options for racking."

"Got a killer deal on this harness. Wasn't planning on keeping it but it was so comfy I had to. Plenty of extra padding over my friend's harnesses. Doesn't feel or look cheap. Plenty of gear loops. Durability on the gear loops may be questionable, we'll see."

"I would have given this harness a "5" but I've only used one other harness, the Black Diamond Momentum. The harness is lightweight, easy to use, easy to adjust, and the waist belt is extra plush and soft. Plenty of room for tools. For this price point you can't go wrong with Corax 2."
