The Women's Primrose AL Harness by Black Diamond is a four-season all-arounder. Designed with a women-specific longer rise and waist-to-legs ratio, the Primrose AL has traditional buckles on the waist and leg loops that allow fit to be dialed in depending on activity and clothing layers. The padded leg loops and bullhorn-shaped waistbelt take the ache out of those hanging belays, and when it's your turn to lead, the four pressure-molded gear loops carry the entire rack comfortably. The Primrose AL also comes with detachable/adjustable rear risers and a 15 kn-rated haul loop for the trail line.

Great price for a decent harness.

This harness is great for anyone who is just starting to climb. Most people wont want to invest all those big $$ in a super lightweight super compact harness if they're just starting out. In the beginning there isn't really the need for that. Just something sturdy and comfortable. Which is exactly what this harness is. I've had this harness for about a year with no visible structural damage, and this baby is still going strong. I think any of you ladies who are starting to think about climbing, but may be kind of freaked out by the cost, should try this harness. If it fits, its a great affordable option to get your foot in the door.

Wonderful value, comfortable

This is great value for your money. When I first saw it it felt really light, almost too light. But it feels great on and I do feel that it's strong and reliable. I climb twice a week in the gym and outside around 3 times a month. Highly recommended. I have a 26 inch waist and I have to cinch the waist belt for the size S all the way down for a decent fit. If I could make it even more snug I would, but this is fine. If your waist is smaller than 26", you might want to consider the XS.

Gets the Job done safely and comfortably

I got the primrose when I was new to climbing and still feel that it is the right harness for me after many uses. I was able to climb with the primrose through the first trimester of pregnancy. After that, the waist was becoming snug and the pressure it placed on my abdomen was uncomfortable. I jumped back into this harness at six weeks post partum without any issues. There was enough slack in the waist to accomodate the extra baby weight while still double backing securely.

Does its job

This harness does the job. It was my first harness, and I still use it at the climbing gym. The gear loops are probably my favorite feature of the harness. They are a great size and angle. The only complaint I have it that it is not very breathable. When I would wear in in the summer and take it off, I would have a giant sweatband along my waist. Other than that, it's still a great harness. Not as comfortable as a Petzl, but it works.

Recommended

I've had many friends ask me which harness to get and I immediately recommend this one. I've had mine for about a year and I have loved every second of it. It is light and easy to put on. It is great for attaching gear. It is incredible comfortable whether you're belaying on the ground, doing a hanging belay, carrying lots of gear, or sending a big wall. It's a great harness and would definitely get it again.

Great basic harness

I really like this harness because of its fit and comfort level. The fit is flawless (I'm a size 2-4 and the xs fits my waist perfectly), and the padding is just right. It weighs virtually nothing, so I don't even really think about the fact that I've got it on. I wish the leg loops were a little more adjustable, but it's a harness I see myself using for a very long time.

Excellent

I bought this product as a gift for better half, and she loves it. Before this she just used the gym's harness and she loves this one in comparison. She says it's comfortable, fits well, and she loves the color and simplicity of the design. The adjustable leg straps are fantastic as well. It gives it a much more custom fit.

I bought this for my daughter. She wanted to start climbing so I purchased the same basic harness as mine. I have the momentum - I really like Black Diamond gear. It fits her great, the AL legs are nice, and if we have her girlfriends with us it is easy to resize for them. I highly recommend this harness.

Great for a my first harness

The xs fits my smaller waist great. I had a real problem trying to find a harness that would fit in the thighs and waist and this was perfect. It's light and durable but comfortable enough to wear all day. Another great Black Diamond product.
Charlene at Moosejaw on 06/04/2012

A great all around harness

For the price, this is the perfect harness for indoor climbing and light outdoor use. I love that I adjust it once and put it on after that. Of course, always check that the adjustments haven't changed, but when they're needed, they are small.

Not as high quality as other black diamond harnesses

I needed a super small harness for the young lady, and this harness worked well with sizing. I'm a big black diamond fan, however, my other harnesses were more versatile. I like that this has a womens cut, but the legs don't tighten well, for that matter they don't come apart either, kind of a mess to put on. It's a good harness, not a great one.
