Review on Xben Climbing Mountaineering Rescuing Rappelling by Michael Briggs

Good harness in harness

Well I liked the fact that it fits me without the half strap as it fits snugly around my waist. I have two other harnesses that barely fit me and cost three times as much. For some reason, seat belt manufacturers seem to think that everyone has a 32-36 inch waist. I have a 47" waist and when this strap is tight about 6" protrudes from the buckle. I have to say that the leg loops are a bit too big. When taut, the strap is about a foot longer. I'll probably shorten these straps and melt the ends. I used it to climb a tree. It was comfortable, worked well and offered good support. I know there are better harnesses out there if you want to pay more and need the best, but as a climber who only climbs a few times a year I will go with the harness. I look forward to using it on the wall next to my house. I read bad reviews about the suspension. I assume these people work for a company that makes expensive dinnerware and ruins every dinnerware, so buy one of these.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
