Black Diamond Rock Climbing Harnesses

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dan Comfy & Simple
Love this harness! Very comfortable for long days & so simple. It's what I use in Winter & is easy to put on regardless of whats on my feet.

The BOD Harness is a solid, all-around performer. It has been in my quiver of harnesses since it was first released in the '90's. Compact, light, comfortable, affordable. Old school design, but new school performance. Not the best option for the specialist, but an outstanding work horse for the trad generalist.

My go to harness for work and climbing. I run a ropes course and can be in it all day long, then have students at a local crag another day. Bod is tried and true.

I have used this harness for years. Simple and comfortable. I like the adjustable leg loops. Easy to put on, even after your crampons are on. Gear loops are in perfect place and a haul loop. I use it for sport, big wall, and trad.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Julie Nice simplistic harness, but center of leg loops seems too long (high)
I have an older alpine bod harness which has worked quite well, but it is 15 years old. I am a large guy, so I tried this in XL and the Momentum AL in XXL. I kept the Momentum. The longer leg loops might be OK if the back straps for the leg loops were longer so they sat lower on my legs and farther from my privates. I would have kept it, however, if the Momentum AL hadn't felt better.
