Pros | Lightweight, breathable, comfortable, and highly mobile | Lightweight, comfortable, and versatile | Comfortable, very durable, five gear loops, simple design | Comfortable, easy to clip rigid gear loops, great value, adjustable leg loop system is light and easy | Padded waist belt is comfortable, made in the USA and customizable |
Cons | Uncomfortable if leg loops don't fit you | High-rise might not fit everyone, less durable than other harnesses | On the expensive side, a bit bulky, stiff leg loops | Waistbelt doesn't have the best ventilation | Heavy and a little bulky |
Bottom Line | A sport climber's dream harness; comfortable, breathable and easy to move in | The best all-around harness in our test group that is not specialized for any one thing but good at a lot of things | Our go-to for trad climbing and multi-pitching thanks to its durable design and accommodating gear loops | An excellent all-around model that is also affordable | A great option for long routes with hanging belays |
