Gerrit Egnew's review

This is the lightest full-featured harness available. You sacrifice a little bit in comfort, but as long as you aren't hours in a hanging belay, it's no problem. I bring this mountaineering instead of a super-light harness, because I like having a real belay loop and full gear loops.
