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.
