I've had these for two years. These were my very first pair of climbing shoes. I've used them indoors and outdoors and climb on average four times a week. They are great shoes. Very durable and very comfortable. They do stretch and they do stain your feet red. Mine toes still turn red even after two years of consistent climbing!

It's nice. It's very adjustable as you would expect. It has no haul loop, which is ok. I like the orange accents. When hanging on a route or belaying a hang-dog it isn't the most comfortable harness to be wearing. My old Momentum AL had a little more padding. Really this more of the idea winter harness. It's very adjustable depending on how many layers you have on. The extra layers will help with the lack of comfort. I will probably get a Chaos or something else with Kinetic Core Construction soon for indoor/summer climbing. On that note. If this harness had Kinetic Core Construction and was more comfortable it would be the best harness in the world. I love the fact that it had dual buckles.
