"Minimalist Alpine Harness" 		          07/02/09
This harness has everything that you want for alpine climbing without anything extra. Leg loop clips make for easy entry and exit. Wouldn't want to hang out in it all day, but it's meant for alpine endeavors anyway.

"Nice" 		          06/02/09
This is a great harness. It isnt bulky and it can be folded up and stored in virtually no space at all. It is also somewhat comfortable seeing as it doesnt have any padding or anything.

"Great mountaineering harness!!" 		          04/02/09
Great harness for glacier travel and general mountaineering. Not having a tie in loop makes it super easy to put on and take off without having to step through, which is a plus with crampons on! The clips on the leg loops are great when nature calls. This harness is light and very packable. Overall, I'd say its the best bang for your buck!!

"No-belay-loop is a small price to pay for ease in dropping trou." 		          10/15/08
Great for with crampons. No belay loop to forget to do the waist belt through. The plastic leg-loop buckles are more convenient than super sturdy, right?, but they shouldn't end up being all that weight bearing. I'm not sure it fits quite right, but the comfort of being able to undo/redo the leg loops instantly totally makes up for that. But then I spend most of a climbing trip sitting around vs being on duty and all. Oh, and everyone's ass looks good in their harnesses. Am I not showing off like I could by staying unclipped? -E PS Someone said you wouldn't be allowed to use a belayloopless harness like this at a rock gym. I dunno. FWIW.

"buy one" 		          06/06/08
simple, lightweight, easy to use. I bought two of these to take with when i bring friends climbing. They are inexpensive but bomber and fairly comfortable.

"Good value for the money, but kooky design." 		          03/13/08
I bought three of these bad boys. One for my wife and one each for my two sons. The cool thing about these harnesses, aside from the relatively low price, is that they fit just about anyone. Easy in and easy out. If I have a dislike, it is that the loop that comes up from between the legs does not mate with the waist belt. Yes, I know you connect the loop to the waist with a rope/biner, but some of the other simplistic harnesses had a space for the loop to pass through the waist belt. I like that.

"A must for glacier travel" 		          03/12/08
Great for alpine mountaineering. Nothing to step through, a big help when wearing crampons. Light weight and packs small. Would suck for rock climbing if you plan to spend any time resting on the harness.

"This Harness Rocks!" 		          03/12/08
Black Diamond makes the best harnesses for the best prices. I would even venture to say this is the most comfortable. I've purchased a harness with the padded legs, and the Alpine Bod All-Around harness does just as good a job, if not better, of supporting me with its big-old straps. It's about width more than depth, and this harness gets'er done.

"Essential piece of mountaineering gear!" 		          02/17/08
Pros durable, has lots of gear loops, easy to get in and out of, lightweight, simple, and inexpensive. Perfect for mountaineering and glacier travel. I'll be climbing Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador and will use it again! The only negative is that it isn't padded - not a big deal for glacier travel, but if you're doing a lot of vertical, you'll want to get something with some padding.

"only for special functions" 		          01/24/08
This harness is unusual because there is no belay loop. I use it with the Silent Partner, and it fits better than on a harness with a belay loop. For anything other than roped solo climbing, this harness lacks important features. If you use it traditionally with a biner and belay device, you risk cross-loading the biner and your belay device may be off 90 degrees.

"Great Harness" 		          12/15/07
Used this harness for climbing Rainier. I love how easy it is to get unfastened if you should be unfortunate enough to have to go on a glacier. Also very light for packing.
