Expert Review
The features I am looking for in a Mountaineering harness are exreme light weight, extreme packability, and a harness that opens up fully (waist belt and leg loops). Being able to open up fully means you don't need to take crampons or skis off to put the harness on. It opens up and you can put it on like a diaper.
