In reply to Robert Durran:
The DMM Renegade 2 does have 7 gear loops. I've just bought one (to replace a Synchro) - I couldn't find another current model of any make with that many. Actually I'm not sure that some other harnesses with fewer but bigger gear loops would take less gear, it's just that you get used to organising everything with 7.
I was expecting that, following the dreadful Todd Skinner accident a few years back, belay loops would get chunkier, but in fact they seem to have got more thinner, judging by the latest DMM models.
