It's harness is everything it's cut out to be, it's Arcteryx after all so it should be expected to be the best and it is. Beware of the sizing though especially ordering from…

It's super light and I almost can't feel it on... The straps stay put and don't ride up (I'm small with small legs) and it folds down very small. It's amazing how comfortab…

It feels like nothing at all, but is comfortable to both hang in and fall in. Gear loops are solid and easy to rack. The tie points are preformed and have built in wear indica…

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…

I've been using the harness for a couple years, and it is leaps and bounds better than the loaners I had resorted to before. When I sport climb, it's got more than enough gear…

The harness is as comfortable as they come. Don’t get turned away by the size of the waist belt, it is uber-cushy and yet it doesn’t inhibit my climbing at all. If you end…

Six gear loops, ice clipper slots and an un rated haul loop. Extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear.
The tuck away band for the waist belt adjustor is very far back,…
