I bought this as an upgrade from a mammut 4-slide (that only comes in small and large sizes and I'm right in the middle). Compared to that harness, the fit on this one is a ton better. It feels and looks premium and the materials are high quality. At first I thought the gear loops not being plastic coated would be a bit flimsy, but I've had no problems with them. Clipping and unclipping quickdraws is feels fine. There are only two downsides with this harness I've experienced so far: The waist buckle is a little bit cumbersome to tighten. The buckles are really pretty polished squared bits of metal, but they aren't super friendly to adjust. It takes me an extra minute or so to adjust compared to other harnesses I've used. Overall not a huge issue but you've been warned. The only other thing I don't absolutely love about this harness is the large rear loop on the back. I usually hang my chalk bag off the back of a harness, but this loop is bigger than others I've used so it sits lower than I like. I just moved my chalk bag back to the belt that it came with, which is easy enough. Overall I really like the construction and comfort of this harness, and the two slight inconveniences aren't enough to dissuade me from keeping it.
