OUTDOOR CLIMBING – 

 

While this harness offers lightweight, sustainable comfort, it may not be the most ideal for outdoor climbs. 

 

Chris, (TITLE) mentions that,

 

“this harness CAN be used for outdoor climbing, but he does not recommend for mastering any big outdoor projects.”

For example, if you are planning to crush a lead climb and work on a big project where you are taking some gnarly falls, it could get a bit uncomfortable as the padding is thick. 

 

WHAT DO THE IN-HOUSE TESTERS HAVE TO SAY – 

 

Josh recommends this Simond climbing harness for running laps and everyday gym training. 

 

Chris also offers that,

 

“If you are a climbing instructor working on the floor and you need something nice and comfy that you can wear all day, this is a perfect fit.”

Chris Taljaard.
