8 Best Climbing Harnesses for Beginners

This is a new momentum, great all-round gym, rock trad sport, everything kind of harness for pressure, molded gear loops hull loop in the back. It’s got your track, fit leg loop, so you can adjust the leg size super easily. It’s actually pretty slick. It’s almost like a magic trick. Speed buckle, super comfy foam way more comfortable than our old version. I mean we just keep up in the bar. You know this is a great. Do everything harness if you’re getting into climbing this is the one to have.

It doesn’t have ice Clippers. So if you wanted to go ice, climbing with it this, you can still do it. You could set the ice Clippers using a little elastic things. The AL had the buckle set. You you double the buckle back and the SI had speeded recipe. Just speed adjust in 2014. That’s gone done so right now it’s just this track hit on the legs yep, but this momentum really has up the game in comfort when you just squish it, you feel it you put it on.

I mean everyone that’s been wearing them are just like whoa. You know like 55 bucks, I mean it’s pretty sweet and women’s it’s called. The Primrose features are the same, but it’s just a different geometry. So if it’s a woman better the rise is different and the shape of the waist belt is different. Friend of one of our athletes sent her first 14a wearing this harness 5495. We went out for lunch the other day me and somebody else. It was like 45 bucks for lunch, so 55 bucks gets you a piece of life-saving equipment that will last you.

If you take care of it and climb, you know semi-regularly. You know three four or five years for 55 bucks. It’s actually unbelievable that we can make a harness this comfortable and this functional for 55 bucks. That’s what we do. We got an army of people and that’s what they do. We need to make stuff better for cheaper.

Good morning, outdoor enthusiasts and rock climbers today we’re going to be reviewing the Black Diamond momentum, vs harness, and this is actually the harness package. So it comes in the screen case. It’s like a carry case for everything, and it includes your carabiner, your ATC, a chalk bag and some chalk.

So let’s take a look at it, so this is going to be the smoke and poly version with Howell Blues got this blue accents and these blue accessory hooks. You have your gold, your white gold, chalk bag, it’s not refillable! So it’s basically disposable! There’s your chalk bag. It’s the Mojo chalk bag! If you’re familiar with that or if you want to take a peek at that summer, your typical chocolate drawstring and your buckles to secure it, then you’re going to have your ATC and your rock lock screw gate, locking carabiner.

So this is the rock lock model x, rated at 7 Killians and your ATC is going to be the XP version. It’s the X P or cuddle belay device, and let’s go over to the momentum. Vs harness. So, let’s see weighs only 14 ounces. It’s! This is the large extra-large version I fit right in between the medium/large, so I bought the large so that I, can you know let my friends wear it or or I can grow into it or if I’m layering up I have a jacket over it and on the winter or under it.

It just gave me more options, whereas if I bought two small one and of course like you know like all right, I just get bigger over time, I guess I will plan on it, but either banana it does have these speed adjust buckles on. So you can make those quick, fast adjustments or you know, loosen them up and get them tighten up real quick.

You have one Black Diamond logo on your right leg. You got the Black Diamond on the back. We’ve got another loop back here. It’s it stitched up pretty good, so share the hold a lot of weight. I, come more from I, have more of a tech rescue background, so always lightweight stuff to me is kind of sketchy so like a small loop here, I wouldn’t I would put money on it to say that it doesn’t hold much weight but because it is lightweight and it’s for rock climbing I bet you.

It holds a lot of weight like this carabiner here this certain kilonewtons. It doesn’t feel very, very tight at all cuz, it’s aluminum, the carabiners. We use their tech rescue all stainless steel they’re super heavy. So this is all new to me, but I’ve gotten into a rock climbing before and a little outdoor, but it seems to be a fairly decent, all-around or all-purpose harness now.

These are pretty I want to say flimsy, but I’m not very thick. It’s almost like they took the outer shell of the cord, like some P cord or you know, just took the sheath of the P cord and reacted inside this plastic, and that’s your dearly. It seems like it’ll work, just fine, let’s into bag, or something like that.

You know I’m not going to have this right there, typically, but I, don’t know how much what it will look like when I weigh it down. The outer is like a nylon polyester nylon, so it should be good for weather resistance and durability. The inside is a soft fleece. The foam is about, say a quarter inch thick.

Let me sit up ruler here to get pt-r about a quarter inch thick all the way around on legs and the waist again. It’s got your speed, buckles lots of stitching. Of course it needs it for what it is. It’s life savings, so there’s anything else you’d like to know about this. Please let me know I’m sure, there’s other reviews out there.

I bought this because of the package and the durability or I should say versatility of it. The different things I can use it for and because it came with your bare essentials, your chocolate, your ATC and a carabiner to go with that so yeah. If there’s anything else, you’d like to know, let me know or anything I can pull out for you.

Let me know: please subscribe if you’re not already subscribed, like my channel or like my video, if you took something out of this, if you didn’t take anything out of it, give me a thumbs down and leave a comment or just leave a comment anyway, thanks for telling me well, you later.

Initially, when we started this project, it was intended to appeal specifically towards entry-level climbers and then, as the project evolved and as the design evolved. What we found is that a lot of climbers were attracted to you know the comfort and the breathability that were created in harnesses we’ve made them very versatile so that those users could use it for all different scenarios, whether it’s sport or starting out with trad or top rope climbing whatever.

So we created a lot of features to make them very versatile, so I think the best thing about the momentum and Primrose design is that dual core construction? It allows for distribution of the load across the waist and also breathability. So this cutaway shows the fills the benefits really well. You have two structural pieces of nylon webbing running along the top and the bottom edges of the harness, and that leaves space in-between for ventilation, holes and the foam padding and also mesh in the in the outside shell, and that allows the breathability of the harness to to run from the inside to the outside and vice versa.

The momentum and primrose family feature our track, fit leg adjustment system which allows you to increase or decrease the diameter. The leg loop simply by sliding this buckle backwards and forwards on the leg loop. The beauty of the system is that it has the adjustability of a typical buckle system, but the security of a fixed leg system. So we took a beedi approach to designing these, which is to take out everything: that’s not needed for the product strip it down to its most basic simple elements: make it highly functional and really address the needs of the user without anything extra.

So that’s the approach we took to these as we stripped everything out that we didn’t meet and then added just the features and just the elements to make it really comfortable, lightweight and durable.

The black diamond momentum, kids, full body harness, is a super secure, harness with the same construction as black diamonds. Time-Tested momentum harnesses the height I endpoint keeps kids from flipping upside down and the easily adjustable straps allow for maximum comfort for growing kids.

Msrs elixir to backpacking what you want and then you can roll it up and need to stash it away so never get close cell phone hi. Today, I’m gonna be talking about about the momentum vs harness by Black Diamond. This harness is an entry-level all-around, harness good for indoor gym, climbing traditional, climbing and ice alpine. Now the momentum vs harness, has multiple advantages over the momentum harness for one. It is more adjustable. The momentum vs harness, has two straps in the front.

Instead of the momentum vs of the momentum harness having only one, this allows for more adjustability and why a bigger variety of users and allows you to grow with the harness if you’re, but if you’re not like, if you’re a child, it allows you like grow into the harness more another benefit of this harness that has a better padding than the momentum harness I I haven’t tried the momentum harness, but from what I read, it does in fact make a difference. Aside from that, it’s pretty standard.

It has four four gear loops and one haul loop in the back. The whole loop is generally for the chalk, bag and accessories gear loops are, if you’re doing traditional, climbing anything if you’re dangerous, which most most beginners won’t really need that until they go outside the gear, loops are the same color as the belay loop, and the rest is just black. So now, before I teach you how to put the harness on I’m gonna, give you tell you a little trick that I’ve learned to help improve to help improve like my time that it takes to get ready to climb.

So this is a haul loop, it’s on the back of the harness and it stays around the tailbone and what it’s used for. It’s used generally used for putting on chalk bags. This is a black diamond chalk bag and it has a little strap on the back now to put it on before, I put the harness on I attached a chalk bag. The reason I do this is because, if I have the harness on already it’s way harder to accurately put the strap through the loop when it’s behind my back, it’s just a lot longer now, once I have that in place and I’m ready to the harness on I make sure that the belay loop.

This is this blue thing is in front of me and I hold it out like this. So I pulled that out. Then I put the first leg through there and the second leg through the second loop, while I’m doing this I make sure that my straps are in front and not behind, because then I’m putting it on wrong. Now that I put it on the correct way, I’ve checked that both the straps are there push thing out. First thing: I’ll do is that I’ll tighten this, but it’s pretty much hugging. My waist once I’ve done that once I’ve done that I’ll tighten these to a comfortable tightness that isn’t like killing your legs, but it’s just holding you there snug once you’ve done that you have attached the harness and you’re ready to climb and just for reference.

I’ll show you what it looks like, so that’s the chalk bag. It’s hanging off near my tailbone, and these are the gear loops. Then these are the harnesses and you got to make sure when you put it on that B’s that this does not flip these leg holders. Don’t flip, because if they do, you might not notice it, because this is a lot very elastic, but it could be a safety hazard. Thank you for watching our video on the momentum.

What’s up, you guys are a fan of the outdoors, whether it be backpacking rock, climbing, mountaineering, camping, you’ve ever seen a trail if you’ve ever even looked at a tree.

What’s going on guys trevor long here for saw backyard today, we’re gonna be talking about the Black Diamond momentum harness this bad boy. This is actually the first harness that I ever bought.

Now, let’s be clear, Black Diamond momentum is a very broad range of harnesses. They’ve got all kinds, and this one specifically like I, said it’s the first one I ever bought, so it’s been a while it’s already out of like stock. So we’re not gonna be talking about this harness specifically, but we’re gonna be talking about the Black Diamond momentum line in Jim Lee, alright. So let’s get started so the first thing that I want to say about the Black Diamond, the momentum harness line is that they’re great entry-level harnesses they’re, not expensive.

All of them are in a very affordable price bracket, they’re roughly between like 50 $60 right around. That range, which is great because you know, especially if you’re buying your first harness you’re, not gonna, want to spend a lot of money and get that in general. All of the momentum harnesses are fairly comfortable they’re, not the world’s most comfortable harness. If you’re looking for a very comfortable harness check out our review of Black Diamond solution, harness specifically in addition, Alex Honnold, this harness will work really well in the gin.

It’s fairly comfortable, very durable, it’ll. Last you a long time, it’ll also be decent for outdoor sport. Climbing there’s plenty of room on the for gear loops. To clip your quick draws. You could use it for traffic. You wanted to it’s not super comfortable for sitting. In long periods of time like where you’d be on a big wall or whatever, but in general there is room on the gear racks to fit trad gear, maybe not a huge trek, but then again you can supplement it by wearing shoulders legs.

So, if you’re looking for a track harness, this would not be my first go-to, but it would work other than that. This is probably my first go-to beginners gym, slash, maybe sporting, but climbing harness. So some of the reasons that I like it and the other models in this line, the leg adjustments are very intuitive. Some of the some of the Black Diamond harnesses they try and cut weight by not allowing their – the leg, adjustments or removing like just the features, and this harness does not do that.

It’s a little bit heavier at 13 point 1 ounce, as we measured it sorry, is confirming it still. It’s a little bit heavier at 13 point 1 ounce, as we measured it, but some of the things that it adds are leg loop adjustability. So you can change the size of the leg loop, making a little bit more comfortable and feeling a little bit more severe. It’s got quick-release jelastic webbing in the back, so that you can remove the elastic with webbing and the webbing is completely adjustable by pulling it through this little tightener thing will turn it’s got a hall loop on the back in case you need to haul anything normally I.

Just maybe hang a climbing knife from there. I, typically don’t haul things with this harness, but, like I said you could, if you needed to it’s, got four medium-sized gear loops that are all covered in plastic, so they are all fully rigid, which makes it a little bit of a pain to wear with a backpack. But to be fair, that’s not what this harness is designed for, so it actually makes it a lot easier to be grabbing your gear, especially the gear.

That’s on the back two loops of your harness. It’s actually a convenient feature in my opinion, I consider it a pro. The waistband itself is pretty thick contoured to the male hip. They’ve got some mesh lining in here. So it kind of makes it a little bit more breathable and in general I found the harness to be fairly comfortable, especially or even in the heat. It doesn’t overheat too much, but it’s not the most breathable harness that I’ve ever tried.

It’s got one strap for adjustability on the waist loop, you pull it tight and you can tuck it in behind over to your left and I found that, although it does not provide a whole lot of adjustment, it makes it simple, straightforward and you know for what you might be using this for like gym climbing you really don’t any other adjustments tight-knit. We go other than that. The black diamond momentum, harness is just all around a solid harness.

I have very few complaints. It doesn’t excel in very many areas, with the exception of its price point. So if you’re, just looking for a good harness that you can wear for a myriad of things as opposed to something that would specialize in one individual aspect of climbing and you’re looking for something that won’t be a huge investment for you, because you’re just starting out or you’re. Looking for a second backup, harness whatever it may be, I would definitely recommend you check out one of the items in the Black Diamond momentum harness range other than that now I’m curious.

What is the first harness that you guys ever bought or was given to you or you stole. Don’t tell me that because I’m gonna have to report you that being said, what was your first harness and did you like it? Yes, No? Why not double yes, who knows go ahead and leave a comment in the comment section down below cuz we’d be interested in hearing from you guys, and maybe you can make some recommendations to to the rest of our viewers go ahead and like the video, if you like the liked the video leave a comment question anything you can think of, because that would make me feel better and definitely hit the subscribe button because I want you to hand and because of please so yeah like the video comment subscribe all that kind of good stuff other than that I’ve been Trevor, longer saw back gear and, as always, I look forward to seeing you outside.

Today, I want to talk to everybody about being safe up in your tree and wearing a tree harness and whatnot, and it’s invaluable tools. You have to have what I’m telling you don’t be hunting up in trees. Without them, one fall could change your life forever and your family and your friends and everyone else is it’s not just you out there. You got people who love you out. There want to see. You come home now you buy tree stands these days.

A lot of them come with these harnesses now, they’re, not the worst thing out there. I’m gonna tell you but they’re, not the easiest thing to use and to try to figure out how you put one of these things on sometimes can be all the difference in whether or not you even put one on and I’ve been using one of these for a number of years, and they are they’re a pain in the neck and there’s a much better option out there and this year what I did is I, went out and bought one of these muddy vests, and this is the Diamondback.

They make a few different models, but this is got to be the simplest thing I have ever bought as far as using a harness system. Again you put it on just like a vest up on the top. You got a couple clips that snap, together and down on the legs once you get this adjusted, you pick it up under your leg and snap it in and you’re done on both sides. That’s as fast as this one goes on, and you can’t beat that I’m telling you what guys it comes with a nice fall restrain.

It’s got a bungee in it. So when you do fall, if you happen to fall, hopefully you never do, but there’s gonna be a little bit of relief and you’re, not gonna. Get that static jerk. You know falling off of the tree, so this one came with a lineman rope as well, and you get two different carabiners that come with them too, and they screw shut so once you’re in there they lock, they can’t be busted open. You know if you happen to bump it or something like that, but I can’t express enough how much I love this new money tree harness and you guys I’m telling you if you go get one of these, they make a couple of different models if you’re going from one of these ones that come with your tree stand, and you move up to something like this.

You were just gonna, absolutely love it. This one also has clips that put my new binoculars that this part on there, my Nikon, those moronic fives. Those things are razor sharp I’ll. Tell you what we’ll go over them on another video but snap, those right onto here and then they’re right. There quick position up. She was going on. You need to drop them. They stay right there. You can shoot your bow with them a great great shot.

What we’re gonna do next is get up behind me in this tree. What I had to do is I gotta pull these ladder sticks out. This is the lattice get out of the way here. I usually got to stand up. There I’ve already taken a stand out and we’re gonna be placing it out somewhere. I’ll have to have another stand, but we’re gonna take the ladder, sticks down. I’m gonna show you just how great this linesman rope is I’m telling you I wish I had gotten this thing years ago and knew more about it, but now that I’ve got it I’m telling you go get this package.

It came together with him. It was like 85 bucks. You can’t beat that price. We’re gonna climb up that tree and we’re gonna. Take those down. I’m gonna show you just how safe it can be. Let’s get this together, real quick, -, here’s a linesman rope. All it is is another piece of rope got a carabiner on one end, the other one’s got a knot tied off to keep the prusik knot from sliding off and if you’ve never seen how one of these work I’m telling you these things are great.

When you apply pressure on the loop, it doesn’t go, nowhere holds fast, but all you got to do is push a little bit of pressure on the top of the knot and it slides to adjust. So we’ll show you what that means in a minute: let’s go get over to the tree, alright. So what you’re gonna want to do? We’ve got these loops on the side of this harness and they’re gonna work with your with your linesman rope here and what I do is I.

Take the loop end, put the loop right through the loop here, the loop through the loop and then you’re gonna, take the knot and the carabiner and everything else and slip it right through and then take the big knot. That’s set on that loop, the loops tied into the loop, the loop, the loop and tying it off, and just like that, you tie it into one side when doing the other side. What I do is I just take that prusik knot and slide it almost to the end where that knot is to stop it, we’re going to take the carabiner and wrap it around the tree and tie back into the loop on the other side standing right on the ground.

We get that around the other side, like that clip right on screw that up so now that that’s not going anywhere no you’re gonna do is hang on to that noise. When you slide, the foo sit not up it’s going to tighten that rope up and bring it closer to the tree. Now, as you start to climb up the ladder, I’m gonna go up just a little way, and maybe a step or two just to show you, but it’s gonna free up our hands to do everything we need to.

Do we go up a couple of steps. Doesn’t matter you climb all the way up. The tree like that, and now we’re hanging on I got both my hands to do whatever I need to do. Tie off these straps so hook them up, but we’re gonna be taking all this down, but you can’t beat it I wish I’d have known about this years ago. I tell you I put a lot of a lot of my time. You know climbing stands and whatnot putting them in and I’ve been a little nervous it, but a lot of us have been hugging on the trees and trying to do stuff trying to use one hand and hang on to the other one.

The whole time we’ve had different harnesses that maybe felt that made us feel safe, but I’m telling you right now. There is no safer way to do this. I’ve been using this for a couple weeks now, maybe and I got the safe line and other stands that I hook onto and I go up and down and I have never been safer. A lot of us like to go out in the dark I know I, do whether you go out in the morning in the dark or you hunt tonight and come down in the dock when you’re always attached to the tree.

You are never gonna feel safer than you ever have I’m telling you right now guaranteeing it you go out and buy one of these systems and you think I’m wrong. You’ll get a hold of me. I’ll buy it off. You I’ll, give you your money right back for it I’m, so certain you’re gonna be so happy with the setup like this, then you won’t get a hold of me. You’ll get a hold of me to tell me: hey Adam, thanks a lot for putting together that video, because I’m convinced now too and I’ve never felt safer, you’re gonna tell me your wife is gonna.

Thank me and everything else too again. This is the muddy. Diamondback comes with the linesman rope, you’re gonna climb up these trees and just screw this thing up and you’re gonna be safe, probably out of frame now but I’m gonna go up the tree. We’re gonna, get this thing unhooked and get this down. So I can hang it. It really doesn’t get any safer or any more simple than that. Everybody again pick up one of these Highnesses.

Now we’re gonna get this thing down and we’re gonna show you how we’re going to hang it. It hunted all on the same day. What any luck we’ll have? Some luck, we’ll have a deer on the ground. You.

The magnum harness is made of shoulders and waist for extra comfort during long sits. The easy cinched torso straps and the noiseless buckles, with no metal on metal contact make up a quick and quiet harness the rugged tether on the Magnum harness reduces chances of a fall or injury. This harness comes with a Lyman’s belt, a tree strap and a suspension relief, strap and is rated for up to 300 pounds.

No Billy there’s three things that should be important to every hunter and that’s his family. His wife and his health and I mean if we’re going to go deer hunting climb a tree and take that chance. There’s no excuse why we shouldn’t be wearing. You know one of these new safety harnesses bye, buddy, you know exactly spook and you and I are both guilty of it. You know, but but these new muddy harnesses that they’ve come out with you know, are not like the old traditional ones. This is not bulky, it’s fully adjustable.

You know, because a lot of us just have one right, you know and but a lot of times, you’re hunting in hot weather and then you’re going to cold weather, and you know some of these harnesses can’t adjust to do it. This harness adjusts have whatever clothing, you’re wearing and and it not only is it not bulky, but it has a full range of motion. You know I mean when I’m you know in my stand. You know something. That’s just tight on me. I have no full range of motion which I have with this.

You know and another thing that we really love about. It is some of the old traditional ones. Just don’t have a lot of points of contact like when you do fall out of the tree. You know the old belt. Harness are just a vest itself. You know when you fall out of these trees. You know it takes a heck of an impact on your body. When you stop, you know, and with this thing catching you around the legs around the back shoulder chest strap all of these features help that fall no Brian I’m so excited that boot nation is teamed up with Larry, Kendall and muddy outdoors, and that was gonna, be on stickam archery, comm yep.

We touched about how important it is to wear a safety harness. We went over how you know that responsibility we’ve got to our families and ourselves. Yes, I really do and- and you know now, I want to touch on some of the features of the harness I love. The fact that they, just these snaps on here has really nice I mean that makes it awesome. You know what are some of the other things that you like about it for me: I love the fact that this safety harness is so lightweight, I mean when we hunt in the southeast.

You know it’s hot and you want to be able to have a harness, but that is gonna be very lightweight and this harness is actually less than 2 pounds and that’s half or a third of many of the other safety harnesses that are out there on the market and when you think about the total construction of this safety, harness it’s again light weight, low profile, I love the chest buckle that way again, you can keep your clothes and everything close to you. So when you’re drawing your bow you’re not going to have any construction, you know obstruction in this area.

It’s got the parachute buckle, which is nice and think about those other old. You know harnesses that have the car seat buckles and it worked, but it had that click again, just a little bit of extra noise. If you really don’t need out in the woods so these parachute buckles got a little bit of a rubber coating, makes it safe, but very easy. Very quiet. You’ve got these leg straps that are 1, 500 pounds I mean so they are exceptionally durable. You can, you know, wrap them under your legs.

You can adjust them and then, when you’re done, you can trim them and then burn them. So that way that you know you seal them off, but just overall a very light weight. A very you know mobile harness that has not compromised in the safety. You know area at all demonstrate by doing a little fall out of a stand for, and so let’s get him over here and absolutely you know and the thing about in all seriousness, spook I mean you know we want to show you know just how well these safety harnesses work, but also if you’re, do fall out of a tree.

How do you? How do you get out of that situation? And you know- and you think about it’s not going to ever- have to meet? You do wear the harness, but again in the event that it does we’re gonna have Billy, you know, show you how to kind of get through that situation to make sure you stay safe, I’ll get over here. Okay, now that we’re in the stand and we’ve got our harness on we’re getting set up. You know one of the important things that we like to do is put your harness up high as high as you can.

You know it’s not going to obstruct any shot. You’re gonna make it actually kind of gives you a little bit more mobility and the straps are not going to be catching you in the arms as you’re shooting. Another thing, that’s great about having the strap up high like this is that if you do fall out of the tree, one you’re not going to fall as far before it catches you and two you’re, not gonna fall below the stand to where. If you do fall out, you know you’re going to be easier to get up in the stand the higher you are than if you catch it by your fingers, trying to pull yourself up now.

I’m going to give you scenario that we’re all guilty of you know and that’s one of the main things is falling asleep in the stand, and this is going to explain you why we put our strap up so high, where it catches us at an earlier moment. Okay, so say you fall asleep in the stand and you roll off to the side. You know you’re caught I mean there’s no trauma, I mean you caught me right off. The bat I can get right back up in the stand with the ease just by swinging around you know it it’s perfect for what you’re wanting to do and it saved you all right.

One of the things, though, is what what happens is say. You fall out of the tree. You know I’m sitting here suspended and a lot of things that happen with guys that are in these suits and they’re hanging. Here like this is suspension trauma, and so what you got is this suspension, strap you know and how what this is for, and it’s very important guys you know, keep it on this harness you’re hanging here. You want to take this. Strap and they have loops, provided you slide it through the loop back through itself, and it’s there hold on to the end, pick your feet up kind of bend at the knees and go through the other loop.

When you tie this in a knot on this side, it allows you to take your feet now and put some weight down on your feet to where you can keep the blood flowing and you’re fully suspended. Now to where say, if you were stuck and you couldn’t physically climb back up in the stand, you would be able to hang here safely until somebody came to rescue you hey, come check out these muddy outdoors. Safety harnesses on stickam are true calm. These new safety harnesses by muddy are unbelievable, super-lightweight, actually less than 2 pounds provide full body support and are extremely safe and durable again come check them out on stickam archery comm, the A to Z of archery.

Hi Casey here with muddy today, we’re going to talk about our Diamondback harness. This is a complete package. When you buy one of these harnesses, you get everything you need to have the ultimate hunt ready package. First of all, let’s talk about the features on this particular harness things that are important. Arnis is easy to get into safety, durability being comfortable and then having some flexibility to make sure you can get that shot. All these things are covered in this package.

First of all, we have quick attach buckles. So when you go to put this on, all you really need to do is bring that strap around and simply click the bucket much like a safety belt. Alright up here we have the chest strap, which has very good adjustability, and you hook the chest, strap and you’re in the harness. It’s that simple, so going along with those features are, this is a harness that is a one size fits most and the way we can do that is by allowing a lot of adjustability in the length here in the length in the chest: strap I’m, sorry in the leg, strap and in the chest, strap.

So you have a lot of room here. The chest strap will slide up and down, so you can move it where you need it, and the leg straps aren’t extendable, of course, once you have it adjusted, we include these elastic covers which cover up the metal, so you know anything clinking on that metal. It’s a nice added, silencing feature. So, along with that, we include a hooks for the binoculars, as well as the little rings to thread through your binoculars and then some gear hooks right here where you can tie your lanyards on.

If you have a grunt call or a rangefinder or whatever you decide to carry. So that’s some of the great features this is made of a lightweight nylon. It’s extremely durable, extremely light. It’s a two pound harness the back. Has a nice airflow mesh so that it allows the air to flow out. It also provides a little bit of padding. So if you’re up against a tree, it’s a nice comfortable set. Okay with this ultimate hot ready package includes the lineman’s belt, which I think is a great feature in that, and you can see I’ve already looped through one side of the lineman tether.

You go around the tree and hook your carabiner on the other o’clock on the other loop, and then you adjust that length with a prusik knot so that, while you’re ascending or descending from the tree, you are connected and use it like a lion’s belt. When you’re up in the tree, maybe you’re hanging on a tree stand this having this hooked up, allows you to have your hands-free. So that’s a great feature that is included over here. We have the suspension relief, strap! That’s a safety strap that if you should ever become suspended, so you fall for whatever reason and you’re suspended by that that allows you that relief, strap you’d, lower that down, and you put your foot in there- take the weight off your legs, so you don’t cut off your circulation.

That’s another safety feature! Okay, along with that, we include a really nice feature here in our bungee tether and the bungee tender, as you can see, allows you to stretch a little bit while you’re connected and you still retain your safety part of it. But this will give you that opportunity if the deer gets on the wrong side or the bear or whatever you’re hunting you’re allowed to turn 360 degrees. Because of that bungee tether, that’s a fantastic feature.

Okay, it does include a one-hand carabiner that is locking by simply spinning that and then also the tree tether. So this is the ultimate hot ready package. The diamondback harness only two pounds from money.

Good morning, outdoor enthusiasts and rock climbers today we’re going to be reviewing the Black Diamond momentum, vs harness, and this is actually the harness package. So it comes in the screen case. It’s like a carry case for everything, and it includes your carabiner, your ATC, a chalk bag and some chalk. So let’s take a look at it, so this is going to be the smoke and poly version with Howell Blues got this blue accents and these blue accessory hooks.

You have your gold, your white gold, chalk bag, it’s not refillable! So it’s basically disposable! There’s your chalk bag. It’s the Mojo chalk bag! If you’re familiar with that or if you want to take a peek at that summer, your typical chocolate drawstring and your buckles to secure it, then you’re going to have your ATC and your rock lock screw gate, locking carabiner.

So this is the rock lock model x, rated at 7 Killians and your ATC is going to be the XP version. It’s the X P or cuddle belay device, and let’s go over to the momentum. Vs harness. So, let’s see weighs only 14 ounces. It’s! This is the large extra-large version I fit right in between the medium/large, so I bought the large so that I, can you know let my friends wear it or or I can grow into it or if I’m layering up I have a jacket over it and on the winter or under it.

It just gave me more options, whereas if I bought two small one and of course like you know like all right, I just get bigger over time, I guess I will plan on it, but either banana it does have these speed adjust buckles on. So you can make those quick, fast adjustments or you know, loosen them up and get them tighten up real quick. You have one Black Diamond logo on your right leg.

You got the Black Diamond on the back. We’ve got another loop back here. It’s it stitched up pretty good, so share the hold a lot of weight. I, come more from I, have more of a tech rescue background, so always lightweight stuff to me is kind of sketchy so like a small loop here, I wouldn’t I would put money on it to say that it doesn’t hold much weight but because it is lightweight and it’s for rock climbing I bet you.

It holds a lot of weight like this carabiner here this certain kilonewtons. It doesn’t feel very, very tight at all cuz, it’s aluminum, the carabiners. We use their tech rescue all stainless steel they’re super heavy. So this is all new to me, but I’ve gotten into a rock climbing before and a little outdoor, but it seems to be a fairly decent, all-around or all-purpose harness now.

These are pretty I want to say flimsy, but I’m not very thick. It’s almost like they took the outer shell of the cord, like some P cord or you know, just took the sheath of the P cord and reacted inside this plastic, and that’s your dearly. It seems like it’ll work, just fine, let’s into bag, or something like that. You know I’m not going to have this right there, typically, but I, don’t know how much what it will look like when I weigh it down.

The outer is like a nylon polyester nylon, so it should be good for weather resistance and durability. The inside is a soft fleece. The foam is about, say a quarter inch thick. Let me sit up ruler here to get pt-r about a quarter inch thick all the way around on legs and the waist again. It’s got your speed, buckles lots of stitching. Of course it needs it for what it is.

It’s life savings, so there’s anything else you’d like to know about this. Please let me know I’m sure, there’s other reviews out there. I bought this because of the package and the durability or I should say versatility of it. The different things I can use it for and because it came with your bare essentials, your chocolate, your ATC and a carabiner to go with that so yeah.

If there’s anything else, you’d like to know, let me know or anything I can pull out for you. Let me know: please subscribe if you’re not already subscribed, like my channel or like my video, if you took something out of this, if you didn’t take anything out of it, give me a thumbs down and leave a comment or just leave a comment anyway, thanks for telling me well, you later.

Initially, when we started this project, it was intended to appeal specifically towards entry-level climbers and then, as the project evolved and as the design evolved. What we found is that a lot of climbers were attracted to you know the comfort and the breathability that were created in harnesses we’ve made them very versatile so that those users could use it for all different scenarios, whether it’s sport or starting out with trad or top rope climbing whatever.

So we created a lot of features to make them very versatile, so I think the best thing about the momentum and Primrose design is that dual core construction? It allows for distribution of the load across the waist and also breathability. So this cutaway shows the fills the benefits really well. You have two structural pieces of nylon webbing running along the top and the bottom edges of the harness, and that leaves space in-between for ventilation, holes and the foam padding and also mesh in the in the outside shell, and that allows the breathability of the harness to to run from the inside to the outside and vice versa.

The momentum and primrose family feature our track, fit leg adjustment system which allows you to increase or decrease the diameter. The leg loop simply by sliding this buckle backwards and forwards on the leg loop. The beauty of the system is that it has the adjustability of a typical buckle system, but the security of a fixed leg system. So we took a beedi approach to designing these, which is to take out everything: that’s not needed for the product strip it down to its most basic simple elements: make it highly functional and really address the needs of the user without anything extra.

So that’s the approach we took to these as we stripped everything out that we didn’t meet and then added just the features and just the elements to make it really comfortable, lightweight and durable.

Gear comm and today we’re looking at the Black Diamond momentum rock climbing harness. This is just one of the many new rock climbing harnesses and rock climbing gear that going gear has picked up blonde Black Diamond makes some of the best rock climbing equipment out there, and this is just one of the harnesses that we’ve got. This is the men’s momentum. It’s got really great easy adjustment straps along the belt and on your legs. So no matter what size you are, there’s a harness at going gear for you that you can easily adjust to fit your body type.

It’s got four gear loops on here, so you can attach all of your equipment on there. Chalk bags different things. Your carabiners things like that these aren’t just for the beginner climbers. Anybody from a first-timer to an experienced climber can get in one of these harnesses very easily, like I mentioned, block down and make some of the best stuff out there. So you can’t go wrong. We’ve got these in men’s, and women’s and just to show you here is the women’s Primrose harness.

So we’ve got lots of different colors and styles depending on what you’re looking for, but you can find this Black Diamond harness and other great Black Diamond rock climbing equipment.

So new for spring ’19, the solution guide harness so what we did with this is we took the solution, harness which is a great comfortable, awesome harness, and we said, let’s make a super, durable kind designed for trad, climbing and chimney and grinding and like just a super burly rig, it’s almost the same geometry, not quite exactly it’s a little wider through the waist for a little more support. We kept the same gear loops, fixed legs, of course same belay loop.

We added a fifth gear loop in the back. If you want to hang your gloves or knife or belay device or whatever you want to do back there, it still has your zero kN tag line to tag a line, but the really cool feature on this guy is this fabric. That’s used on the leg loops and on the waist, and it’s called super fabric, which is not very exciting, but that’s what it’s called and it’s incredibly durable. So the reason we picked it is for the guys that are lying back at Indian Creek and like grinding in the chimneys in the valley and stuff, like that, it’s I don’t want to say it’s indestructible, because you can break anything if you try hard enough, but it’s really super super durable and it’s some kind of laminated epoxy ceramic dots onto the fabric or something it’s really cool.

We also have the women’s women’s comes in this color called coral, which is a different on the legs there. So this replaces our Chaos harnesses kind of our big wall, free routes, sort of sort of rig at 99 bucks. It’s a great harness, that’s literally gonna. Last you forever available in January, $99, 95, 394 grams, our whole engineering team army of folks over there when they were tasked with hey. We need a new fabric, that’s really durable.

We have a guy here that burns through a harness a month like just grinding up the creek. You know just lay it back and usually right here on. The legs is what takes the the biggest brunt of the wear. So we just tried a bunch of different fabrics and literally just gave it to him and said: go and then he would come back and you just go. I mean you go, that’s no good, and so these guys hunted down this company called super fabric and they had this fabric for our purposes.

It ended up working out great and it’s super super durable and at 99 bucks. The Chaos used to be $129, so a really great value for the super, durable big long, free route, type of guy or girl he’s still along a sample yeah for real, it’s good yeah. So it’s pretty nice 99 bucks.

Hey everybody how you doing this is beau you about they, a nice little piece of equipment from Black Diamond. Now rock climbing is kind of an investment takes a lot of time takes a lot of energy, takes a lot of money and I know that kind of makes a lot of people a little bit hesitant to get into it. So I’ve got the perfect package for those of you that are thinking about getting into rock climbing.

This is the Black Diamond momentum, starter kit, I’m gonna, show you a little bit about what it has all the goodies inside of here. Standard price is about 100 bucks on got your gear calm, however, through the 16th of June, it got your got your gear calm. It’s only $65 have that seller going on right now. Show you what’s inside this little bag here, tell you about all the the cool stuff you get see.

What comes out first here perfect, so our belay device, you can see the belay device is included here. This is the Black Diamond ATC XP, which is a really cool piece of equipment. They just don’t give you a standard. Atc they actually give you the XP, which is a little bit heavier duty, a little bit nicer belay device and see that the windows there really takes away some weight off of it really really cool little belay device.

Very nice looks like we have your standard standard, locking pair being in here. I believe this is the the rock lock is what they call it so lock and care being a real nice real heavy-duty, really good carabiner first couple pieces of equipment that we pulled out of there see what else we got here and then we have a chalk bag yeah there we go so nice, little chalk bag.

Black diamond looks like it’s just a mojo chalk. Bag on the inside got a chalk ball so that that’s pretty much sets you up there and then, of course, the harness itself. Momentum, harness great starter, harness really good piece of equipment and I know people that have had theirs for years that are still using it just because they’re comfortable with it.

They really like the harness, really nice and lightweight, really really good, harness really high-quality here. So this is what’s included here, guys we got the harness, we got the chocolate bag, we got. The chalk ball got your locking carabiner and your ATC ex Keeble a device like I said: Santa price is about a hundred bucks. If you were to split all this up, you’re looking about $120, so it saves you $20 right off the bat but, like I said through June 16th, we do have the seller going on with white diamond where all of this is $65.

This is perfect for those of you looking to get into this for incredible sport, incredible incredible equipment, Black Diamond, is awesome. You can get your blank diamond momentum package harness starter kit at got your gear. Calm have a great day. Everybody.

Msrs elixir to backpacking what you want and then you can roll it up and need to stash it away so never get close cell phone hi. Today, I’m gonna be talking about about the momentum vs harness by Black Diamond. This harness is an entry-level all-around, harness good for indoor gym, climbing traditional, climbing and ice alpine. Now the momentum vs harness, has multiple advantages over the momentum harness for one. It is more adjustable. The momentum vs harness, has two straps in the front.

Instead of the momentum vs of the momentum harness having only one, this allows for more adjustability and why a bigger variety of users and allows you to grow with the harness if you’re, but if you’re not like, if you’re a child, it allows you like grow into the harness more another benefit of this harness that has a better padding than the momentum harness I I haven’t tried the momentum harness, but from what I read, it does in fact make a difference. Aside from that, it’s pretty standard.

It has four four gear loops and one haul loop in the back. The whole loop is generally for the chalk, bag and accessories gear loops are, if you’re doing traditional, climbing anything if you’re dangerous, which most most beginners won’t really need that until they go outside the gear, loops are the same color as the belay loop, and the rest is just black. So now, before I teach you how to put the harness on I’m gonna, give you tell you a little trick that I’ve learned to help improve to help improve like my time that it takes to get ready to climb.

So this is a haul loop, it’s on the back of the harness and it stays around the tailbone and what it’s used for. It’s used generally used for putting on chalk bags. This is a black diamond chalk bag and it has a little strap on the back now to put it on before, I put the harness on I attached a chalk bag. The reason I do this is because, if I have the harness on already it’s way harder to accurately put the strap through the loop when it’s behind my back, it’s just a lot longer now, once I have that in place and I’m ready to the harness on I make sure that the belay loop.

This is this blue thing is in front of me and I hold it out like this. So I pulled that out. Then I put the first leg through there and the second leg through the second loop, while I’m doing this I make sure that my straps are in front and not behind, because then I’m putting it on wrong. Now that I put it on the correct way, I’ve checked that both the straps are there push thing out. First thing: I’ll do is that I’ll tighten this, but it’s pretty much hugging.

My waist once I’ve done that once I’ve done that I’ll tighten these to a comfortable tightness that isn’t like killing your legs, but it’s just holding you there snug once you’ve done that you have attached the harness and you’re ready to climb and just for reference. I’ll show you what it looks like, so that’s the chalk bag. It’s hanging off near my tailbone, and these are the gear loops. Then these are the harnesses and you got to make sure when you put it on that B’s that this does not flip these leg holders.

Don’t flip, because if they do, you might not notice it, because this is a lot very elastic, but it could be a safety hazard. Thank you for watching our video on the momentum. Ds harness by back Dimond like subscribe and hit that Bell button we’ll see up top.

Video this time, I want to talk about climbing harnesses know that we’re at the end of the climbing season here and I’m gonna, not just talk about rock climbing harnesses I’m, also going to talk about mountaineering and big wall and just different uses for the harnesses throughout the sport and if you’re interested in getting into ice climbing or want a harness with a bit more features, then, hopefully this will give you some insight, especially if you’re looking into buying your first harness so I’m gonna start off.

I have five harnesses here. These I guess these three are more of the all-around variety or more of these two or all the all-around variety and then like a superlight all around one, and these two are more specialized. So I’m gonna start right here. These are kind of these three are kind of my core main harnesses and I use them all for sort of different things, starting with this one in the middle, this harness is meant for specifically just rock climbing, and so it has every harness.

Has you know different features, but just about every technical harness nowadays has a belay loop. These things on the side, they’re gear loops, come with most harnesses, come with four, but a lot of these harnesses actually have five, which I actually really appreciate, because I mostly climb long routes and long rock routes, so I can usually I. Stick the stuff back here that I only use while rappelling down or on the descent and I can leave these gear loops open for actual gear that I need on the climb and so the specific harness.

Oh, it could be used for like a single pitch sport, climbing harness it’s a good beginner style. Most of these harnesses don’t have any leg, loop adjustments, just sort of a piece of elastic, that’s a stretch out and conform to your leg, and so we’ll only have one adjustment, which is this, which nowadays the most common one is the two buckle design. Some people call them speed, buckles, auto double bags, whatever you want to call them.

That’s generally the consensus. However, there are still some out there. There are manual double backs which I’ll show you in a bit, but other than that. Just a straightforward rock climbing harness also tends to be kind of the cheaper option out of all these harnesses, especially when you get into the more specialty Warren’s, with the exception of a mountaineering harness which is actually probably the cheapest type of harness on the market.

But you can’t use that for rock climbing alright going over here. This harness is kind of just like the Ferrari version of that one. It’s a bit smaller packs down a bit more I haven’t actually weighed them, but I guess this thing would probably be a little bit lighter than this one, and this one’s also a bit more versatile. So this is made for everything from rock climbing. You can do it for single pitch rock climbing all the way up to I’ll apply a nice and mix climbing and any sort of big adventures in between it does have a few more features than our standard sport, climbing harness coming in.

It has the same belay loop that you’ll see that this filet loop is smaller profile than that, so it helps again decrease the weight of the harness of anything as far as buckles go. It has the auto double back waist belt buckle, but also the leg loops have two buckles on there as well. So that way you can adjust the leg loops if you are wearing more layers underneath your harness, like you, would in an Alpine or ice climbing setting.

So that’s a nice feature there, as well as the furnace itself. It has the same amount of gear loops where it’s the same for gear loops, two on each side and also one extra in the back, but also it has these things called Ice clipper slots and this particular harness happens to have for some harnesses only have two, but you know the more the merrier and these just allow you to clip ice screws on your harness and take them off, while you’re, for example, climbing our vertical waterfall, and you only have one hand to spare.

So that’s like the big difference between most alpine harnesses and sport. Harness two is that extra feature of the ice, Clipper slot and so I tend to use this harness on my longer days, maybe with a longer approach and I want to go more lightweight, as well as, if I’m doing, ice, climbing or anything that involves needing ice Clippers, then I’ll pull this harness out as opposed to my rock climbing harness now.

This harness is a new buy I got this this year at the start of mountaineering season, because I wanted a blend of a mountaineering harness in terms of how much it packs down and I guess the lightweightness, but I also wanted full array of gear loops and this harness kind of worked out for me. Actually, it came in onto the market just at the right time, but what this harness says is for gear loops on each side and then two Ice clipper slots right there.

You can see it and so I use this for my general mountaineering, but I can also use this as a technical, climbing harness which I have I’ve been experimenting with it. A little bit on I took it up a couple of smaller rock climbs. Multi-Pitch rock climbs and a perform decently. Well, obviously, with being thinner, it doesn’t quite have the padding that I want with some of these harnesses the more Bolt ones you can see.

This harness is also fairly new, but it has a decent a lot more padding than dishonest. This is a kind of more jockstrap style, and even this harness, even though the padding is kind of beaten down, you can actually see that they put some padding on the waist maneuv and the leg loops staying here in order to increase your comfort while you’re sitting on the rope. This has no comfort and that’s again because mainly you’re using it for climbing, where you’re not expecting that you’re gonna fall like I all plan climbing or ice climbing, or a fast and light mountaineering missions mountaineering, you never really expect to sit in your harness as well as when you are doing that stuff.

You generally have more layers on than just like a t-shirt, and so the layers will add the padding for you on the harness just has to hold you to the wall. I prefer all my harnesses to have belay loops, and so obviously this one being a technical harness has a blaylak. Some mountaineering harnesses don’t have belay loops, but they do make other more mountaineering specific harnesses with belay loops, and I personally prefer that you know it’s to see.

There’s no leg loop adjustment here they wanted to make the lightest harness, so they shaved off any extra weight, and another thing is: is a bit more annoying with mountaineering boots to actually step into this. The leg loops of this guy but I’m willing to deal with that slight inconvenience for the full array of gear loops, but other than that. That pretty much covers all my all the climbing that I do during the summer, at least with my rock climbing my technical, Alpine climbing and then my less technical, Alpine climbing, but that’s pretty much.

The three harnesses that I’ll go between and and another thing I forgot to mention- is these: all five of these are Black Diamond harnesses, but just because it’s that’s what I have doesn’t mean: that’s what you should have any company that makes harnesses Gravelle camp Petzl and any other company that makes a harness usually will make these specific harnesses, and always you have to do- is a little bit of research on their website figure out the names I’m not giving any names of these specific harnesses.

If you want I can, if you leave a comment, I can tell you the names, but the more idea is just to get the feel for the different types of harnesses that are out there and they’re like how you can tell the difference between the two to get your specific uses and so yeah. If you go on to any website, any harness company will have like a straightforward, Rock harness and a mountaineering harness. At least this one is a bit more of a rarity.

This is a big wall harness and you can always tell big wall harnesses, because they’re huge I mean just looking at the difference right here. Big wall harnesses have tons of padding and the idea is because you’re gonna be spending a lot of time sitting in your harness and just living in it’s nice to have some padding, especially when you’re doing very technical aid routes where you they’re pretty much staying in the harness the entire time, and so because these things are meant to be aid climbed and they do have a couple of extra features.

One is a big difference as to belay loops now, metolius harnesses do come like all. Every single one of their harnesses have two belay loops, but it’s not exactly common. Usually it’s just the one, and so they have. The idea of two belay loops is you’re. Gonna have a daisy chain on each of these, and then it helps keep things a bit more organized on your harness, which is actually really nice. Metolius makes another really great big wall harness and they, obviously they have the same two belay loops.

This harness is a bit of a throwback to single buckle, styles and double backing, and so that just requires an extra step and quite a course of your at the level where you would want a big wall harness. You should understand how to use a single buckle, harness and then a huge difference with these guys are the amount of belay loops you got here. You can see here on the other side, so there’s three right there stacked on top of each other, another one right here and then three right here and then this harness also comes with this hammer, holster, which I just kept with it.

I, don’t really do a lot or any nailing routes, but it’ll know it came with arms free, so I’m gonna keep it but yeah. So you have seven belay loops as well as a haul loop. Now these things are sort of going out of style with a more modern harnesses. This is actually a rated haul loop, where all they you most of them are rated to two or three kilonewtons. A lot of modern harnesses have this for a haul loop and you can even see if I pull out a newer one.

Does zero kilonewtons on it. So this haul loop is pretty much good for just like hanging your shoes or your chalk bag. On the back of your harness. Now, you could bring up a whole line with this, this one’s pretty sturdy. It may not be ready to any killer doom. You could probably bring up a tag along with this, but this one’s obviously not going anywhere with how beefy that all loop is. You can hang a decent amount of weight on this and it’s and it’s rated up to at least 2 or 3 kilonewtons, so that’s the big difference, and obviously with aid or big wall climbing you have tons of gear with you, so it makes sense to have all these gear loops stacked up on top of each other, but you’d also have something like a chest harness to go with it on the even more intense, a drought require usually a ton of hammering and not a lot of free stuff, so those guys are interesting.

They’re. Also, the most expensive out of the harnesses, due to the amount of materials going into them and so I think most big wall harnesses are gonna, run you like and maybe like 100 to 150 bucks, whereas modern harnesses like that or more around 60 or something- and then here is my last earnest I’m gonna talk about this is a general mountaineering harness for a non-technical route. If you’re going up the eastern side of Mount Baker or the eastern route on Mount Baker or any of the normally guided routes on Rainier any non-technical mountain, then this is the harness for you.

It’s completely stripped down it packs down as small as any harness right here, and you know about a little bit smaller than if you make a fist, it’s about a little bit smaller than that, and it actually packs better into your pack. If you don’t bring the little bag that comes with the harnesses. All these harnesses come with little bags and they they’re nice bags. You can use them for holding something at your house, but I recommend not bringing those out with you, because they’re just an extra bag and they’re kind of useless, but but they’ll be great for holding.

You know your wires or your phone cables at your house, but you can see this harness back to the harness is totally stripped down. We have I again I like to have all my harnesses to have belay loop, so I actually have a belay loop on this. A number of mountaineering harnesses, especially ones that you’ll get usually from rentals from whatever company you’re going with don’t have belay loops, so I prefer very personally prefer it.

You also see how this halves to gear loops instead of four and even at that they’re really crappy gear loops I could make these out of like shoelaces and as well as this one also has it’s kind of hard to see there we go ice Clippers slots, it has two ice clipper slots, so – girl, lips, – ice clipper slots on either side. That’s because when you are doing non-technical mountaineering, you usually have one or two ice screws with you max and then obviously the gear loops are just to hold your crevasse rescue stuff, because that’s all you need you’re, not gonna, have cams or other ice screws with you and probably not have technical tools.

This harness is just meant to hold you to the rope if you fall in a crevasse and it does a great job of that they make them pretty accommodating to big shoes. So you don’t really have to step into them or anything. You just wrap them around your waist and you don’t have to do any sort of like you, don’t have to trip yourself or fall over because you’re trying to get into your harness and they’re, also pretty cheap, I, think they’re, probably around $30, 00 mark or 40 or something, but obviously because they have the least amount of materials put into them.

And again this harness has pretty much. No padding so I would not recommend bringing this rock climbing or any technical climbing, because it’s just gonna wear on your hips a bit more. But the idea is that your clothes lad the padding, and the idea is also that you’re not gonna, fall into this thing in the first place, all right, so that’s just a quick overview, different types of harnesses everything from your you know your single pitch sport, climbing you’ve, got your Alpine set up and then you go into like those new mountaineer and in big wall climbing and that’s pretty much spanning the whole gamut of rock climbing at or at climbing in general.

Now I’m not saying like this is all the harnesses that are there again go see other companies and if you find one that works better for you and feel free to buy it. But this like having a nice selection of harnesses when you get into more forms of climbing, isn’t a bad idea, because it helps you sort of perform to your best ability on the route that you’re at. So, if you have any questions, you can feel free to leave a comment.

If you want to add any other types of climbing harnesses to the conversation, you can comment on that. Then I’ll see you guys in the next video.

What’s going on guys today we’re talking about the Black Diamond momentum, harness anybody, who’s looking to do gym, climbing or maybe even a little bit of outdoor sport or probably not tread but we’ll see? What’s up, you guys are a fan of the outdoors, whether it be backpacking rock, climbing, mountaineering, camping, you’ve ever seen a trail if you’ve ever even looked at a tree.

Definitely subscribe to this channel. We’ve got all kinds of gear reviews. How-To videos subscribe to the channel because we’re awesome and specifically I’m also Phil, he’s okay, but me I’m great, so subscribe to the channel and I promise. You won’t be disappointed. What’s going on guys trevor long here for saw backyard today, we’re gonna be talking about the Black Diamond momentum harness this bad boy.

This is actually the first harness that I ever bought. Now, let’s be clear, Black Diamond momentum is a very broad range of harnesses. They’ve got all kinds, and this one specifically like I, said it’s the first one I ever bought, so it’s been a while it’s already out of like stock. So we’re not gonna be talking about this harness specifically, but we’re gonna be talking about the Black Diamond momentum line in Jim Lee, alright.

So let’s get started so the first thing that I want to say about the Black Diamond, the momentum harness line is that they’re great entry-level harnesses they’re, not expensive. All of them are in a very affordable price bracket, they’re roughly between like 50 $60 right around. That range, which is great because you know, especially if you’re buying your first harness you’re, not gonna, want to spend a lot of money and get that in general.

All of the momentum harnesses are fairly comfortable they’re, not the world’s most comfortable harness. If you’re looking for a very comfortable harness check out our review of Black Diamond solution, harness specifically in addition, Alex Honnold, this harness will work really well in the gin. It’s fairly comfortable, very durable, it’ll. Last you a long time, it’ll also be decent for outdoor sport.

Climbing there’s plenty of room on the for gear loops. To clip your quick draws. You could use it for traffic. You wanted to it’s not super comfortable for sitting. In long periods of time like where you’d be on a big wall or whatever, but in general there is room on the gear racks to fit trad gear, maybe not a huge trek, but then again you can supplement it by wearing shoulders legs.

So, if you’re looking for a track harness, this would not be my first go-to, but it would work other than that. This is probably my first go-to beginners gym, slash, maybe sporting, but climbing harness. So some of the reasons that I like it and the other models in this line, the leg adjustments are very intuitive. Some of the some of the Black Diamond harnesses they try and cut weight by not allowing their – the leg, adjustments or removing like just the features, and this harness does not do that.

It’s a little bit heavier at 13 point 1 ounce, as we measured it sorry, is confirming it still. It’s a little bit heavier at 13 point 1 ounce, as we measured it, but some of the things that it adds are leg loop adjustability. So you can change the size of the leg loop, making a little bit more comfortable and feeling a little bit more severe. It’s got quick-release jelastic webbing in the back, so that you can remove the elastic with webbing and the webbing is completely adjustable by pulling it through this little tightener thing will turn it’s got a hall loop on the back in case you need to haul anything normally I.

Just maybe hang a climbing knife from there. I, typically don’t haul things with this harness, but, like I said you could, if you needed to it’s, got four medium-sized gear loops that are all covered in plastic, so they are all fully rigid, which makes it a little bit of a pain to wear with a backpack. But to be fair, that’s not what this harness is designed for, so it actually makes it a lot easier to be grabbing your gear, especially the gear.

That’s on the back two loops of your harness. It’s actually a convenient feature in my opinion, I consider it a pro. The waistband itself is pretty thick contoured to the male hip. They’ve got some mesh lining in here. So it kind of makes it a little bit more breathable and in general I found the harness to be fairly comfortable, especially or even in the heat. It doesn’t overheat too much, but it’s not the most breathable harness that I’ve ever tried.

It’s got one strap for adjustability on the waist loop, you pull it tight and you can tuck it in behind over to your left and I found that, although it does not provide a whole lot of adjustment, it makes it simple, straightforward and you know for what you might be using this for like gym climbing you really don’t any other adjustments tight-knit. We go other than that. The black diamond momentum, harness is just all around a solid harness.

I have very few complaints. It doesn’t excel in very many areas, with the exception of its price point. So if you’re, just looking for a good harness that you can wear for a myriad of things as opposed to something that would specialize in one individual aspect of climbing and you’re looking for something that won’t be a huge investment for you, because you’re just starting out or you’re.

Looking for a second backup, harness whatever it may be, I would definitely recommend you check out one of the items in the Black Diamond momentum harness range other than that now I’m curious. What is the first harness that you guys ever bought or was given to you or you stole. Don’t tell me that because I’m gonna have to report you that being said, what was your first harness and did you like it? Yes, No? Why not double yes, who knows go ahead and leave a comment in the comment section down below cuz we’d be interested in hearing from you guys, and maybe you can make some recommendations to to the rest of our viewers go ahead and like the video, if you like the liked the video leave a comment question anything you can think of, because that would make me feel better and definitely hit the subscribe button because I want you to hand and because of please so yeah like the video comment subscribe all that kind of good stuff other than that I’ve been Trevor, longer saw back gear and, as always, I look forward to seeing you outside.

– Hey guys!, I’m Miranda, with REI, and today we’re going to talk about how to put on and check the fit of a climbing, harness (upbeat music) – So. The first thing that you wanna’ do when you take your harness out of the bag is just make sure that there are no twists in the harness before you put it on On this harness. You see that you have the waist belt which goes around your waist and then the leg loops, which obviously go around your legs What we’re looking for is that there are no twists in any of the elastic or any of the front part of the harness The easiest way to do.

This is just to hold it in front of you so that the belay loop is facing away from you. And make sure there are no twists in the elastic on the back of the leg. Loops This looks pretty good Before you step into the harness, make sure all the buckles are loosened up. It just makes it easier to put it on On. This harness there’s only one double back buckle, but sometimes they’ll have up to four So two on the waist belt and then two on the leg loops as well.

There are two main ways that people will put on harnesses. One is just to set it on the ground and then step into it and pull it up. The other is just to put it on like pants, which is what I generally do You just step into it. The same way that you would the legs on your pants, One and two leg loops We want the waist belt on the harness to be over your hip bones.

This is just so that in case you were to flip upside down. You’re, not gonna’, fall out of the harness Once I have the leg loops up and the waist belt on the harness up over my hip bones: I’m gonna’ go ahead and tighten it down I’m just grabbing this strap that comes from one side of the padding and then pulling it in the opposite direction. And then adjust the leg loops There we go So.

Now that I have the harness on we’re. Gonna’ talk about fit The, most important thing for fit of a harness is ensuring that the waist belt fits you A good way to check this is by grabbing on to the gear loops and pulling down making sure it doesn’t go over your hip bones Or. You can take a flat hand and insert it under the waist belt of the harness, make a fist and make sure you can’t pull it out Ideally.

When you have the right harness the padding on the harness will be touching or slightly overlapping If. It’s totally maxed out. You don’t get a ton of adjustability and it’s probably a good idea to try a larger harness If. The harness is so loose that you have a significant amount of webbing showing with no padding it can uncomfortable as that webbing can cut into you, while you’re climbing Like this So again, once it’s tightened down and it’s the right size that padding will ideally be touching or overlapping like I.

Have it here Once the waist belt is on. We can go ahead and check the fit on the leg. Loops These leg loops are slide adjusters, but some leg loops will have a buckle. Just like I have up here on my harness Some leg loops will be just be fixed leg, loops, meaning that there’s no adjustment to them, but this one again has the slide. Buckles I can slide these to tighten it and slide them back to loosen it up, As long as the leg loops fit, they don’t need to be super.

Tight They should be snug, but not uncomfortable, I like to climb with my leg loops a little bit looser. But again that’s just up to personal preference. As far as sizes of harnesses go, you can get a general idea of what size you need by checking different brands and looking at their size, charts measuring your body and then choosing the size that corresponds. Again all harnesses are going to fit differently.

So it’s a good idea to be prepared to try on multiple different harnesses Now that I have this harness on. We want to go ahead and do our safety checks. So I mentioned this buckle up here before Ensuring that the webbing is doubled back What. That means is that we wanna’ make sure that the webbing runs through both of these metal loops and comes back in on it itself.

So you have metal showing on the side with the strap If. You forget to go through the bottom piece of metal on the buckle here, the harness can come undone when you weight it or you sit in it. Now that we have this closed. We’re just gonna’, take a look at it ensure that we have that piece of webbing showing here and tell ourselves it’s closed Now. This harness only has one buckle, that’s double back, but some will have up to four or more Two on the leg loops and sometimes two on the waist belt of the harness You’ll wanna’ check this before you start climbing and also have your partner check their harness before they start.

Climbing You can do this just by taking a look at it, ensuring that you have that webbing showing and tapping it and saying “closed” These are both closed because they’re adjustable at the buckle with the slide and I’m ready to climb Like backpacks, most climbing harnesses, are going to feel comfortable until you climb in them So. It’s a good idea to hang in it for a little while until you purchase it to make sure that it fits you right.

Most REIs will have the ability to do this, for you so come on down and talk to the experts. We’ll see you at the crag (upbeat music).
