Nicholas Metz's review

The Petzl Sitta is probably my favorite, and definitely my most worn harness. It is incredibly light and packable, yet it still manages to be quite comfortable. It also has gear spaces on the gear loops. I thought this was gimmiky at first, but I ended up finding them quite useful
