FANTASTIC ALL-ROUND HARNESS (REVIEW FOR NEW ORANGE MODEL)
Very comfortable on me, zip-lock is much quicker and easier than the old style buckles, tonnes of space for gear on the gear loops, looks good if a little garish, very hardwearing, reasonable price as well!
Colour may not be to all tastes, the gear loops on the hips are a little difficult to use easily sometimes as they over-lap and it just gets confusing. I think 5 gear loops is probably plenty, especially with the haul loops at the back. It's also fairly weighty, which usually means it'll last, but it also means you don't want to be taking it on an alpine expedition or whatever. All minor things really, it was never designed as a lightweight harness.
Great harness. My first harness and has been fantastic. If my current harness needed replacing i'd probably get the same one again, or maybe the new ultralight which has just been released! Thinking about it I can't really fault it but I'll give it a 4 for performance just so they can improve it :)
