The straps are rather bulky, but that’s the whole point. Full double rack carries comfortably and Isn’t cramped on the five loops. Looking forward to have two belay loops so I can get my belay device and PAS on separate loops.

I’m a little shocked the ratings are as high as they are since myself and most everyone I know has bought this harness and regretted it. I want BD to hopefully address these issues because in my opinion this product is seriously a miss. Issues: -1 releasing the buckle is very difficult to do, much more difficult than on most harnesses. It is nearly impossible to do with a heavy rack on. One of the contributing factors of this is how wide the strap is. I know it is an intentionally overbuilt harness but the straps of both the waist and leg loops are wider than they need to be and add bulk that doesn’t help or as far as I can tell add meaningful durability. 2: I still have marks on my hips from wearing this on a wall a couple of weeks ago. My partners have experienced similar marks from this harness digging into their hips. This is with mostly free climbing racks and not heavy aid racks as well. I am not 100 sure what is causing this but I will say most of the weight does not distribute well on this harness for me and transfers inwards creating two very identifiable pain points at my hip bones. Again I’ve seen this problem on everyone I knows long haul. 3: for being a very big heavy harness this this has weirdly little gear storage on it. Don’t get me wrong I think it makes sense, wall climbing is modernizing towards free climbing and I am more interested in this a a free climbing wall harness, but even as that I felt like I was fully loaded on this thing once I had a jacket, water, draws, misc wall necessities, and a double rack clipped to me. I think the main thing that would help here is extending the front gear loop further forward. 4: here’s some positives -the belay loops are awesome, color is great, and leg loops are really comfortable (I think the stiffness of the foam is better in the legs than body) Like I said this seems like a miss to me as these problems are pretty fundamental in my opinion and I think I’ll be more comfortable in my regular free climbing harness than this on my next wall.

I got this harness to start pursing longer multi-pitch routes in more comfort as my old harness left me feeling a bit bruised and achy around my waist after spending a whole day in it during my first few multi-pitch practice/learning sessions. So far I have just used it at the gym a few times but it already feels like those pressure points around my waist will no longer be an issue and it has felt good to sit in this harness under load for extended periods. The harness is still a bit stiff from being new but hopefully that goes away with use. I am looking forward to seeing how it handles longer days on the wall once the weather cools down again and allows it.

A great big wall harness. Great for hanging belays, lightweight, durable, the double sewn belay loop lacking an overlapping seam is super nice. One pull back of leg tightening straps, out of the way front leg loop straps, again super light, durable construction.

Lots of contact surface on your body to make it super cozy

I bought this harness for the purpose of setting routes in a climbing gym. It is far more comfortable than any harness I have worn previously, though it is definitely heavier then most I’ve used.

If you are going to spend any time on big walls, get this harness. Worth every penny.

I have some big wall aspirations, so I got this harness, but I wanted to know if I could free climb well in it as the big wall I want to climb will require a lot of free climbing. I sent my project in it so, it goes!

Wrote a long review and just deleted it to simplify. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Lacking in quality at every turn. Fits poor, material feels poor. Doesn't breed any confidence in maintaining a comfortable, durable, and / or safe product. I've purchased BD harnesses for over 10 years and they've been the contrary to this product. I've heard the quality has gone down hill but this was really disappointing. Will never buy a BD soft good again. Returned.

Fits right and is more comfortable than I was hoping for.

I feel extra safe in this harness. There is lots of padding and I can hang out in the harness comfortably for extended periods. I love the double belay loops; this should be the standard for all harnesses. There’s lots of extra carry room for equipment. I am currently using the harness indoors to train for multi-pitch outdoor climbing. I often load it like I am going on a long climb to build up my muscles and get used to the feel. The harness works great.

Provides lots of support with no pinch points. Still allows good free climbing mobility. Go to harness for trad climbing and big walls.

I really like how comfortable is the harness, I used to have the Big Gun but this one is lighter but I feel the same sensation as that oldie . Amazing
Jon D.
Used a few times, seems to be comfortable, although I haven't done a hanging belay yet.
Daryn B.
Great fit and feel. Sturdy and light with all the adjustments needed.
