Negative Positive
Title: Not up to current standards
Review: I bought this harness like most people do because it was the cheapest available on Amazon. I personally thought it worked fine (if just a little weird) until I experienced my first serious crash with it. Because it lacks the belay loop in the middle--a strong loop usually in a bright color right in the middle of the crotch, in case you want to compare to other harnesses--there is no fixture in the harness to prevent your body from spinning to one side while in a serious fall. I wound up landing with my belay partner several feet above me, which does happen in rock climbing, but on my side and out of control. The rock gym people then told me that I wasn't allowed to use this type of "Bod" harness and gave me a loaner.So in toto, I think it's a harness that does the job, but does have some risk involved and probably won't be acceptable to your local rock gym. Sorry-- gotta spring for the harness that's 10$ more.
Is the review positive or negative?
