"One of the best harnesses for your projects"

The BD Ozone harness is one of the best harnesses to own when projecting sport routes at your limit. I have several criteria when procuring a harness, since I mainly sport climbing 2-3 times/week. The fit/comfort, price, weight (< 380 grams), and durability are my determining factors. The BD is light, has great padding & back support, price is right (got the 20% discount) & BD stuff harness just last!
Hands down the best harness I have ever used. Just walking into the local gym and as people saw the brand new harness they all had great things to say about black diamond harnesses. so i through it on and played around super light, i love the leg straps, they strech to a comfterable fit, when climbing more technical climbs i couldnt even feel it, deffinantly a harness for the flexible climbers out there.
This is my forth or fifth harness so far and I love it. I recently just upgraded/retired my petzl corax and this is deffinately more comfortable. This is my first harness with the unajustable leg loops, but I am plesantly surprised. I have big bikers legs, so a skinny legged person may not like the leg loops. I am 6'4" 185 lbs and got the large, fits great with plenty of room for me to get fat with, or for layering.
You can't go wrong with this harness if you are the minimalist sort. Just pull it on and adjust one strap on the waistbelt. The elastic straps on the leg openings hold tight against the legs but allow for expansion when you're reaching for that next foothold. The gear loops are tight into the body, creating a nice low profile.The only drawback is there is no loop on the back for a chalk bag. I recommend getting a bag with a belt.
