Harnesses comfort is a very fickle thing, but I found this harness to be super comfortable thus far. I know some avid climbers might not like the leg straps since they are on elastic loops that should self adjust rather than being tightened by a strap. I like it because I have larger thighs and this harness adjusts quickly and is easy to slip on. The one strap speed adjust waistbelt buckle is nice and quick and again works well to quickly get this harness on. The sizing is a bit different then the other black diamond harnesses. I sit right inbetween their sizes for the waist, so I went up a size. This didn't seem to affect the harness, and really it's all about comfort for harnesses.
Harness was too big. I have a 30 inch waist, and the medium was pretty loose. This wouldn't be as bad if the leg loops were adjustable. I'd suggest going a size smaller. The leg loops still won't be adjustable though. On the plus side, I haven't taken a ground fall since wearing this harness.
The Focus harness is amazing! This one is the best product for the purchase price. It is so comfortable to wear as well as hang in. On my last outing I hung there snapping pics of my friends and didn’t experience the bite in the leg loops like of some other harnesses. If you’re riding the size line like myself, don’t worry, Go the next size up! I was worried that the leg loops on the XL would ride but they don’t. The elastic keeps them snug and secure. Honestly have no draw backs to this product! Its great, comfortable, and the color looks even better in person! All my friends were trying to walk away with it while I wasn’t looking!! Some friends :D those gear vultures!!
Ive only had a few changes to use this harness but can already tell how great it is. one thing to note is that the gear loops are different than what is in the picture. The harness I received has normal gear loops like any other harness not that plastic divider in the picture.
