D-Elvis checked them out, and the harness met with his approval! I see a purchase in his near future ;\)

A friend of mine got one and I checked it out (too bad it didn't fit but she weighs in at 99-100lbs which is a bit less then I do). They are amazingly light and Aimee says they are really comfortable.

A little off topic, but I'm fairly impressed with the Petzl Adjama harness I recently picked up. No Sweat! I miss the rear haul loop and the front gear loops seem to be just a bit too far around the front, but NO SWEAT.

Huh? The Petzl Adjama has a haul loop in the back....

Mine has a little loop that is pretty thin and whimpy. I wouldn't anchor in with it under any circumstances. I'm worried to hang my wind breaker off of it.

It's not full strength, if that's what you mean. But it's there so you can haul a trail line. How often are you anchoring from the back of your harness, anyway?


P.S. You can't *really* miss the haul loop since the Adjama (and other petzl harnesses) never had one until last year! They finally added the loop because so many people complained that it was lacking.

The so-called haul loop on the back is a bit of shoe lace. On a big route where the loss of the tag line could be extremely serious, I'd be pretty worried about tying it to that piece of tat.

On the other hand, harness haul loops were never meant to be tie-in points and shouldn't be used that way even if they are apparently beefier.
