In reply to UKC Gear: FWIW I thought the review was pretty useless as it completely omitted the only information that I think that 90% of people planning a purchase would actually want;
comprehensive sizing information, easily accessible and in one place.
As someone currently thinking about a new harness and hence, I would assume, UKC's target audience, it was a fairly worthless and frustrating read as at the end of it I had not the slightest clue which if any harnesses would actually fit me.
The answer (which is probably obvious from the tone of this post) is pretty much none of the above. However, I had to waste a good half an hour trawling through websites to find that out.
8 out of 10 for the idea, organisation and individual commentary but 2 out of 10 for the over all execution and editing.
That said if anyone knows does know of a good lightweight harness that will properly fit someone slim (70cm waist) with very slim legs (45cm), without being at the limits of adjustment, then I would really love to know about it.
Lightweight sport climbing harnesses have come a long way in recent years. All the major manufacturers are now making models specially designed to be 'ultra lightweight'. In this article we take a look at the main lightweight harnesses on the market and offer our opinions on their strengths and weaknesses.
