Love my blizzard , i reccomend this to everyone who asks about it , its the most comfy harness ive ever had, i wear my harness constently , i teach kids at a local wall, so im always wearing it , and i have never been as comfy as this in a harny...
Amazing is all i can say

While searching for a harness I tried on... well I ended up spending 2 hours with a really annoyed sales person. I found that the Blizzard held me upright where others made by body want to lay back. The padding is fantastic and in all the right places. As this was my first harness as a beginer it was comfortable enough to sit in at length to ponder the next problem on the rock. The only con I can see is marginal at best, the traditional style gear loops. I've had lots of hangups going for draws and other gear, in my opinion, moulded loops (at least 2 up front) would make this harness absolutely perfect. However, I will buy another one regardless.

Had one for a week and so far used only for sport climbing, can't fault it . Will be put it to the test soon on the ice and mixed. Don't see any problems though. The only thing is the sizing seems a bit small, or maybe I'm getting fat...

This was my first harness, and i love it. The adjustability of the thing is very nice and it's got plenty of padding in all the right places. Although i haven't used the ice clippers yet the racking options are great.

I'm giving this harness a 4 because of the positioning of the gear loops. Sure it's nice to have the additional slots for those other 'biners, however, if i just want to use the regular 4 gear loops, for me i find that they are set too far back on the harness for my liking. other than that, it's a spectacular harness, preforming well in all disaplines of climbing from Mountaineering to sport. Good padding and good adjustment range in the leg/waist loops
