Alpine Harness | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
I find myself in between sizes for harnesses: small waist, larger legs. While I like BD Alpine bod (easy to put on) the med is too large in the waist and the small too small in the legs. I tried the BD Vario but the rise was incredibly short. | |

Best alpine harness. | |

For sport climbing or long, hard rock routes I choose a harness with more padding and better gear loops, but for alpine work- especially mountaineering, high altitude, long moderate rock routes, or ski mountaineering- this is the best harness I have found. At 10oz, the Pandion is among the lightest harnesses available. It is a super-simple design that easily adjusts with gloves on during cold weather climbs, and the quick-adjust buckles eliminate having to thread material with frozen fingers. It expands large enough to wear over a down suit, yet can be cinched down to fit over a single layer. (I'm 6'2, 190lbs with a smaller waist size and above average thigh diameter) I don't know why BC.com suggest using this for gym-climbing, as I find it uncomfortable to hang in, and sometimes it gets a little painful during rappels. Downside: It would be nice to have a gear loop on both sides. | |

Perfect for climbing walls | |

The Pandion is a bare bones harness with one gear loop. It's perfect for climbing walls because of the quickie buckle system, huge range for fitting (kids to beefy adults) and it discourages hang dogging (no padding in the waist-belt). The gear loop is perfect for pulling kids away from the wall to lower them. I've taken a couple of top rope "falls" on it, and it WILL crunch your jewels if you're not careful. | |

| Nothing faster for swapping harnesses in big groups. Goes from pee-wee to jumbo in a couple seconds. This harness also makes safety checks a breeze and the wide strapping keeps it comfortable. | |

Comfortable | |

Easy on and off. Comfortable and secure feel when in use. Flexable enough when taking giant steps up or down boulders. | |

Good, but could be better | |

I've had this harness for about 5 years and use it mostly for rapelling and ropes courses in youth camps. It is not very comfortable for long periods of time (e.g., on belay) because it isn't padded. I also find that it is difficult to get the waist tight enough when using it in groups on multiple people b/c it doesn't use a traditional buckle system (it's backwards). However, that said it's a good all-around group harness and is fully adjustable. One thing that is really great is the belay loop - it's not dependant on the user's rise (which is a problem in groups with tall or heavier people). | |

I personally will use this product. i will give it an average ratiing because i have heard many people saying that it is uncomfortable and that they get a lot of wedgies wearing this...i only got on wedgie, not that bad..but i see this product everywhere at indoor gyms, this is what they rent to you if you go to the gym without a harness, and it is definately good quatily, and light | |

| Borrowed one the other day. Probably good for Alpinists or those with need of lightweight, but it can do a number on your thighs. I would rather suffer the extra weight and size and get something a little cushier! | |
