The S240 Harness by Arcteryx is impossibly thin, supple and lightweight, the high performance F·240s takes sport climbing to a new level. WST provides universal support to the waist belt, and the lightweight mesh leg loops deliver unprecedented breathability and support. Made with a unidirectional mesh that provides bridging support in one direction and complete flexibility in the other, these simple leg loops are equally as comfortable as those conventionally built, proving the limited effectiveness of foam padding.

"Fantastic Harness without exception" 		          11/30/09
This harness is super light, but I was skeptical when I ordered it that it would be comfortable and that I might only use it for redpoint attempts where weight is important. After I put it on and took some falls and hung in it a bit, I realized it's actually far more comfortable than all my other harnesses with wider leg loops and more padding. It's a bombproof-constructed work of art that's gonna save your life and then some. What more could you want?

"The lightest harness ever" 		          10/29/09
This harness is super light. Thier is nothing to it, no excess of any kind. That means not a lot of padding either, so it isn't the most comfortable to hang on all day. However, getting up a climb and back down, it's great for. Has 2 large gear loops.

"If you want light, buy this harness!!!" 		          05/07/09
I've had this harness for a almost a year now, and after some seriously long hours of hard climbing it still looks like new. Beyond its good looks and weight (I should say, weightlessness), it's proved to be comfortable even after whippin',hanging and belaying all day long. It weighs next to nothing and because of the slimness of the weave, it takes up almost no space at all in my pack. The only negative for me was the snugness of the leg loops (I have 24.5 inch thighs, M waist), but these days it's broken in and feels just fine. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and though it's costly, you'll get what you pay for.

"Carry your chalk bag in your teeth" 		          03/26/09
This harness is super light. The leg loops were uncomfortable at first but I think they break in after only a few sessions. It also depends on how thick your pants are. There are only two gear loops, one on each side. None in the back and no loop to clip your chalk bag on, so you either have to reach around to chalk up your other hand or use a separate waist belt. Other than that, it fits really well and feels solid, I'm happy with it. It comes in a tin box with the arc'terx logo on it that is pretty snazzy and would look good if you are giving it as a gift.

"Amazing harness" 		          03/16/09
This thing is great to wear... taking lead falls is a dream (with the addition of a good lead belayer of course!). Yet the only downside is it might seem too comfortable sometime. Me along with others sometimes do not think they are safe but they totally are. great item to get

"pack in pocket protection" 		          11/17/08
Basically if you want the lightest, slimmest most comfortable rig out of the box then this is it. i love it to death for the gym or short sport lines, but on massive multi pitch routes i would go with something beefier. Living in Maryland it gets wicked hot and this thing breathes like a fish especially the leg loops. My only bummer is that the gear loops dont fully come off completely, but they are reversible.

"If you got the funds, pull the trigger." 		          07/17/08
Awesome craftmanship and attention to detail- typical arcteryx quality. At first I was worried that this skimpy little thing would even hold a fall. Needless to say, I will with flying colors. Accidentially got on a route a grade harder than I was expecting 13b and spent some quality time hangdogging it. This harness, despite its small size is quite well suited towards comfort, as I had no complaints after sitting in it for extended periods. Took a whipper on it too- very impressed with comfort. Just as comfy as their old sport harness Zzril but a bit lighter and lower profile. Perhaps a bit expensive though.

"light, but almost too light" 		          04/10/08
although the harness is ultralite, you do lose comfortability. this is the lightest of the the arcteryx harnesses, so they opted to make it as light as possible, the leg loops are unadjustable a minus for those with big thighs and small waist. love arcteryx gear, but this harness is no good for me

"Great design. Worth the price." 		          04/08/08
This is an amazing harness. It is VERY light. It is Unbelievably comfortable. Please keep in mind that i am comparing this to my previous momentum AL. This harness has no padding, yet completely comfortable. My only complaint is that it has no where to hang a chalk bag...

"Great Harness!" 		          03/07/08
This is the lightest harness I have ever used. It was hard to trust it my first time coming down, but it is great. Very easy to get on. It was the talk of the gym.
