Great for Challenge Courses
I have used this product for challenge course climbing and aside from the plastic leg loop attached to the belay loop being a bit small (its more of a slight inconvenience than anything else) it works great!

Great for beginners, or casual climbers
I've used this harness several times on indoor climbs and I must say it is the most comfortable entry-level harness I've ever worn. The padding on both the waist and legs is positioned great, and the waist padding "floats" on the straps so you can get your belay loops dead center every time, it really is wonderful. On the con-side. The proportions of this harness are a little odd, I have a 30 inch waist, but I'm a relatively stocky build so my legs are pretty thick. The leg straps are almost a little too small for me, I have the straps pulled almost all the way out, with just about 3/4 inch of spare for leg growth, and the waist is pulled almost all the way in, but on hanging belays it starts to feel a little loose. Now, does it ever feel like it is not secure, or uncomfortable? No. Overall, this is an extremely comfortable harness, versatile, and for the price in my experience you can't beat i

Excellent Harness
I've always climbed in Black Diamond harnesses and the time to replace mine came around and I started looking at various harnesses and trying them on. I tried this one on and was totally impressed with it. After that I started doing some research and I really liked the adjustable padding in the front. It makes sure your belay loop is always centered. The first thing that caught my eye about this harness was the color, it stands out and just happens to be orange which is my favorite color. REI is the only place that carries the orange color that I could find. I ordered it and it actually arrived earlier than the scheduled delivery date. I immediately went inside and put it on and it felt just as comfortable as when I tried it on at my local shop. I racked up (I have a pretty big rack, at least 14 qd's, cams, slings, biners, etc) and I couldn't even tell that I had all my draws on. It easily carried everything I need on a route and more. I've only tried it on single pitches but I'm excited to get on some multipitches. The only downside at all is that there isn't a haul loop that's why I gave it four stars.
