Just like clothing, different harness
Wed ,30/06/2010Just like clothing, different harness brands fit different body shapes better than others. Be sure to find one that works well for you.
Whenever you test-fit a harness, make sure you’re wearing the kinds of clothes you’re likely to be climbing in. If you plan on carrying a pack with you as you climb, wear it as well so you can make sure it doesn’t cause any discomfort when worn with the harness.
The Waistbelt — Your harness waistbelt should be snug, but not too tight that it is uncomfortable. It should ride just above your hips, but it shouldn’t restrict your breathing. You should not be able to pull the harness down over your hips, no matter how hard you try. Children and narrow-hipped adults — if you can’t get a harness to stay above your hip bones, use a full-body harness until your body shape works with a waistbelt-style harness.
