Poorly placed ice-clipper slots; making existing gear loops all but unusable.Harness is under sized (lrg should be med,etc.)small buckles;fussy with gloves.Small belay loop,tye in and haul loop. Basically a warm weather "sporty" ice or trad harness.Mtns-NO!

I have a good size head and it fits me well(also with foam patches for custom fitting)
The face shield adds an unparralled sense of comfort when staring at tools,picks,adzes,hammerheads,etc.and is held in place with a easily adjustable cordlock.I think it would also work well for those scary endless A4+ hooking horrors.
My only reservation is you can't use your teeth;as in grabbing the rope,adjusting a wayward leash or holding a quickdraw or screw.
Ordered mine through moosejaw.(*****)
Price is on the high side until you think about it.
