'THE PERFECT BASIC HARNESS - AND CHEAP!' |
|
| Strengths: |
Light and compact. Doesn't absorb water. Highly adjustable, fitting over a variety of clothing. Cheap. |
| Weaknesses: |
No gear loops. The old fashioned buckles are more fiddly than modern snap closures, especially when tired or in gloves. Not comfortable for hanging in. Some people find this harness not comfortable, period, so try before buying. |
| Overall: |
A great multipurpose basic harness, the only thing this is less than ideal for is lengthy hanging, either in hanging belays or climbing extended overhangs. Lack of gear loops are not a problem if your rucksack has them, or you have a sling. Twenty years ago all harnesses were like this one made without abseil loops, and the solution now is as simple as it was then - add a crab. |
