It’s a really good starter kit. It has everything I needed to start climbing.The harness fits perfectly and the quality looks pretty good.Really good price for what I got.I tried all the things that come in the package for several weeks now and I have no complaints at all.I see no reason on spending more money on something else, unless you’re looking for something really specific. But if you just need to get started, this package will do it.

A great all around harness! i've been using it for about 3 months now for several outdoor all day climbing trips and at the gym 3-4 times a week. Its been comfortable for everything from rappelling to crack climbing. Its easy to fit in my bicycle bag and can tuck nicely into any of my backpack pockets.The gear hardpoints are well designed and the placement was clearly thought through. The right side hardpoints are great form my chalkbag and anchor kit as they are easy to access! My left side hardpoints work great for carrying quickdraws, ATCs or anything else I need!Great harness for climbers of every level while sport climbing. I would love to see a bit more ajustability in the leg loops but other than that wayyy better than the gym rentals i had been using before!

During hikes and backpacking trips we always end up climbing something, bouldering and rappelling something. I typically take my mountaineering harness (Petzl Altitude). It is so compact and light. It fits everywhere. But I wanted something still on the light side but more on the comfortable side. Don't get me wrong, the petzl altitude is awesome for mountaineering. But when you are climbing or anything in the middle of summer and have to hang with it for a while, it gets uncomfortable. So I ended up getting this one. It is a little more bulky than I wanted it to be but works. It is comfortable. It is a good beginner, entry level or climbing on a budget. I will recommend it more as an indoor, GYM sport climbing type of harness. Depending on how small or big it fits ... MoreDuring hikes and backpacking trips we always end up climbing something, bouldering and rappelling something.

The gear loops are asymmetric and sometimes it feels awkward on lead trad climbs. Due to that asymmetry it does not get a 5 stars from me. But I will definitely recommend it as an entry level.

It's pretty commonly accepted that the BD Momentum ought to be your first harness; either it or the Petzl Corax. I used both and found this one a little more comfortable in the legs when hanging, FWIW. The ONLY reason I dinged it one star is because of the single waist buckle; which, if you are at the cusp of a size range, can cause the belay loop to be off-center. If you ARE at a cusp, I strongly recommend you consider the Momentum 4S, with two waist buckles, assuring your ability to center the belay loop. Either one represents excellent value and will provide you with comfort and performance, indoors and out.
Good little beginner harness. Lightweight. Compact. Good padding. Spent a whole day climbing/rapelling in it with comfort. I chose the wrong size, it works, but I should have gone up a size for a better fit. I still loved it.Currently wear mens pant size 32, purchased harness size M and probably should have purchased Lg...by the time you figure extra space for clothes.Wearing skin tight leggings/climbing pants, the Md was fine. Wearing search and rescue cargo pants was a little rough. So consider your clothing and if you are on the border of the fit, maybe go up a size since there is often overlap in the size ranges with the adjustability of the harness.
This is a a fantastic beginner climber kit. I bought this after climbing for about 2 months with rental gear at my local climbing gym. I've been using this kit for at least a month now. I definitely found this harness to be a big step up in comfort and perfectly adequate for what I need in the gym. The chalk and ATC also work great. I highly recommend. I bought my partner the same kit and she is also very pleased.
Great kit, good quality materials.The carabiner is top notch, it's sturdy and reliable.Same can be said about the harness and the ATC.Chalk is very finely grained, almost like a facial powder. I've learned that I prefer chunkier chalk, but this is just a matter of taste.The only drawback is that you get a random color chalk bag and I got mine in black. I wanted something brighter so I exchanged it with my friend.
I bought my first Momentum harness 20 years ago, as a teenager just starting out. While even though it’s a “beginner” harness, there’s nothing about it that says low quality. The thing served me well even after I was no longer a beginner. I used it heavily for sport climbing, canyoneering, ice, you name it. I sent it through the wringer and only retired it because you’re supposed to retire these things after 7 years just to be safe. I then upgraded to a more expensive model but now that I have kids, guess what the first harness I went to for them? The Momentum! Even though it’s a beginner harness, it works amazing and will serve the wearer well even after “moving up” in skill level.
Pretty much everything you need to get started at the gym besides a pair of shoes. The harness fits well and is comfortable, and has held up pretty well from a year-ish of moderate use. The chalk bag is a chalk bag, it holds chalk. I do have a soft spot for the black diamond chalk so that was nice to have. And of course the ATC is a staple belay device, the color I received matched the rest of my gear as well so that was a bonus. If you want to get into climbing, save some money and get the bundle. There's pretty much no downside here.
Based on the sizing specs, I tried this in a Medium, but I could not fully tighten up the waist and legs (kinda loose; not 'safe' snug). So I returned and picked up a Small. Strangely, on the Small I must open the waist strap as wide as it goes and even then I can just barely barely barely get it on over my (not particularly large) hips/butt with some aggressive wiggling and writhing, after which the remaining tag end of the waist strap is so snugged up to the buckle it's difficult to get enough finger purchase to back-strap for a proper fit. Can I make it work? Yeah, with some effort. But I'd like to burn my calories while climbing not while harnessing up. I plan to now return the small, go into a store and try other brands for a more reasonable fit and hopefully ... MoreBased on the sizing specs, I tried this in a Medium, but I could not fully tighten up the waist and legs (kinda loose; not 'safe' snug).

Other than this issue, which I admit might be unique to me at 165 pounds, 5'10", 32 inch pants size, generally trim and fit but--being in my 60s--not sporting rock hard abs, this would be a fine harness for the gym climbing I want it for. My recommendation would be to buy in person if possible or be prepared for some return-and-exchange shenanigans (which, thankfully, REI does make incredibly easy).
