Comments
Was not overly impressed with my Harness I bought from Edelrid. The plastic Abrasion protector soon snapped off in a fall (not a large one I may add) and as a result the stitching underneath began to fail after a few months.
For the money I thought the durability and quality was poor and I would not buy again.
Sorry to hear you have experienced problems and are not satisfied with your Edelrid harness. If you would like to provide details please send a message over UKC.
Thanks
I noticed that the review doesn't cover the Edelrid Moe - it might only be a budget model, but I think it is the best harness I have ever used. I bought three, one to leave in the UK, one to leave in Kalymnos and one with me in France!
