Bought it for this winter season, mostly for ice climbing. The harness is quality, I think the materials will last a while, it packs down really small (and comes with a nice stretch mesh bag for carrying) and overall feels like a comfortable harness. A couple of things were surprising. The material on the loops is hard outer (a plastic of some type) with the woven piece inside, feels light and should be able to take some damage even from heavier racks. Another thing I noticed was the leg loops were higher/closer towards the crotch - it's been a little hard to tell, but I think this should be more comfortable on longer hangs. One spot where I got it a little wrong is the size, I'm a 32 waist and according to the sizing guide a Medium is the optimal size... but it ... MoreBought it for this winter season, mostly for ice climbing.

I'm newer to climbing, and this is my first harness, but I'm so happy I went with this one. It's extremely comfortable thanks to Arcteryx's revolutionary single webbing lamination technology through the waist belt and leg loops. It also keeps it lighter, and more compact for storage and travel.I haven't loaded it up with a trad rack, but it carries everything you need for a sport route wonderfully. (16 draws, PAS, etc...). I also top rope ice climbed in it at the Ouray ice park, and was not disappointed in performance there either.Worth the money, period.

I purchased this to use it as a one quiver harness for both Rock and Ice climbing. I've only gotten to use it Ice Climbing so far and it has been amazing. I'm suddenly able to climb overhanging mixed routes I could have only dreamed of sending when I was young lad staring up at my first route. My belaying efficiency has increased 2-fold and I'm completely comfortable while doing it. I attempted to sleep in the harness, but my wife wasn't a fan of the belay loop poking her in the back so I had to resort to leaving it on my bed side table. Overall, I highly recommend this harness as a one quiver harness since it seems to be limitless.

This harness has been great for cragging and multi pitch climbing. The main advantage this harness has is how small it packs. With the included elastic sack, it takes up the same amount of space as a large shoe (singular).At first, I found the leg loops to be slightly uncomfortable while hanging but either my thighs adapted or the harness softened because I don't notice the discomforts anymore.I can't confirm its durability yet since its a new product but I expect it to be given my experience with Arcteryx's products and their reputation.I only have two minor issues with my harness. One, the bright teal coloured gear loops became noticeably dirty even after one days use. Not sure if it is the plastic material or the colour but something I expected Arcteryx to ... MoreThis harness has been great for cragging and multi pitch climbing.

One, the bright teal coloured gear loops became noticeably dirty even after one days use. Not sure if it is the plastic material or the colour but something I expected Arcteryx to have addressed. Second, the cord which underlays the molded plastic gear loop is not cleanly nestled in the split down the underside of the gear loop. I imagined a factory worker tried but the fit was too tight and they did the best they could. This has absolutely no impact on functionality but not what I expected from the perfectionists at Arcteryx.Still, I am very happy with the harness and look forward to 7 more years of climbing on them.
I actually have two of these harnesses, one in the retail olive green and one of these LEAF in batman black. Both have virtually no padding, but don't seem to need any; they are perfectly comfortable, unless I guess you were hang-dogging for a while. Since I have never been in that position, I can't provide feedback. But being belayed and lowered, you are scarcely aware of having it on. FWIW: the buckles on the waistband and thighs are super easy to adjust. My harness needs are taken care of for the foreseeable future, unless ArcTeryx comes up with something disruptively novel.
I bought this a couple months ago to replace my old Petzl Sama I had been using for the previous two season. The Arcteryx Harness is a bit expensive, but I caught it on sale and it has been worth every penny. This is by far the most comfortable harness I have ever worn, and it is extremely thin. I have taken some major whippers on it and I trust it through and through. I sport/trad climb and chose this harness over the other two models. I don't think the other two models would be able to hold all my quickdraws/other gear. I don't have any complaints about this harness.My only concern would be sizing! These harness' run large. My wait is 30/31 depending on brand but the medium was way too big, could fit both arms in-between the harness and my waist.

My wait is 30/31 depending on brand but the medium was way too big, could fit both arms in-between the harness and my waist. I exchanged it for a small and I have the waist cinched down as far as it will go. If you usually wear anything between 30-32 I'd suggest the small, and xtra small for anything under 30.
This will be my third Arcteryx harness. I've got bigger legs, so had to end up with the large (previous Arcteryx harnesses have been medium). It's been my experience that the webbing does stretch over time, so take that into consideration. Also seems like these harnesses don't work for everyone, the webbing is thin and the edges are stiff, if it doesn't fit just right I can imagine this would be pretty uncomfortable. I really like having adjustable leg loops, especially for all-day climbing. Gear loops or fine, not my favorite, but get the job done. Nice and light. Addition of the haul loop is a much needed upgrade from prior iterations (not sure if its rated for hauling though like BD harnesses though?).
I've owned and used this harness for around two months now. Mainly I've been using it for setting and sport climbing (And a small multi-pitch route).My only complaint is one that I have noticed with several other Arc'teryx harnesses - you sit lop sided.While hanging on the rope you tend to shift from side to side, having one leg slightly higher than the other. I don't foresee this as a major problem, except the possibly of increased wear/ uneven wear on the tie in points. This is not an issue for several other harnesses I have used from other brands, and one bug that should have been sorted out by now.Other than that, great harness! Comfortable enough to set several routes in a row, lightweight, great colour, and packs small.
I use this for mountaineering mainly, but would also take it out climbing outdoor or in the gym. I love that you can remove the plastic gear loop guards to save weight. This this is super comfy, fits a little snug, but is totally worth it. I am somewhere between a medium and a large, with a 33-34 waist. I originally had the large but was worried that it was too big since I was able to cinch it down completely. So I returned it and got a medium, which at times can barely be adjusted. So that is my only complaint.. the sizing windows are a bit narrow.
I bought this on recommendation from several reviews and owners. This is my second harness and while my trusty BD has been with me forever I thought it time I trade it in for something more comfy and with a bit more room.First my cons:- It's not that much lighter. I don't think it was meant to be, but with how thin the material is you'd think you'd save some weight. Not so.- It's marginally more comfortable. I expected a huge upgrade in comfort and while this is better, it's not...a ton better.- Because the material is so thin, the leg loops and belt are holding their shape from how they were packed. Not a big deal, but there's not enough structure to make everything a circle so it can be a bit of a dance to get it on.Next the pros:- It packs up to ... MoreI bought this on recommendation from several reviews and owners.

If you care about what's in your pack - this thing takes up almost no space. It's pretty dope.- It racks amazing. There's so much more room on this thing. And with the wide haul loop I get to put my anchor gear out of the way, but still have it organized.- It is more comfortable. While I can't hang in it forever, wearing it around (especially with a heavy rack) is the bees knees. That sold me on it.
