Review on πŸ”’ Exploring Safety and Comfort: PETZL 8003 Full Body Harness - Men's 1 by Will Murphy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Allows you to continue climbing as your pregnant belly grows

This harness is significantly less comfortable than my regular harness but allows me to climb further which is why I get 4 stars. I am in the picture at 23 weeks. I only use this strap for the top belay and tie it in a figure eight straight through the two gray loops. The gear loops don't bother too much. I couldn't think of a good belay method because adding a carabiner to the two gray belay loops resulted in the carabiner sitting sideways and crossing over and when I tried two carabiners the effect was similar and the belay device was askew. To get around this, I reverted to my regular linen harness which, when fully stretched, still sat comfortably under my stomach and put no pressure on it. Please note that buckles are marked red when not positioned correctly as they are different in style to what you currently see most of the time.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later
