Rec's for women's alpine harness
|
I thought I would never buy anything except Misty Mountain ever again, but I decided to consider alternatives to reduce weight. Since it is so difficult to try on a wide range of women's harnesses due to lack of options in most stores, I would like feedback or rec's on potential buys. I have already done some online shopping and have some ideas but figured it didn't hurt to ask the community for help as well.
One of my bigger questions is to try non-adjustable leg loops? I know this will save weight but I do prefer the adjustable ones. However, I'm willing to give it a shot since most alpine harnesses are built this way. My main concern is making sure I could use this harness for ice climbing and not find the leg loops too tight over my extra layers. If I normally wear a small should I get a medium? Or just measure my legs and compare against the harness' specs? Hope some ladies can chime in. :-) Thanks in advance. |

My wife uses a Selena for crag and alpine. She loves it. The Selena is has fixed legs but Petzl makes the Luna which is the same but with adjustable legs. |

CAMP Supernova almost fits your description. |
|
I recommend this one: gearexpress.com/beal-venus-… |

Not CAMP Supernova. That is my most receent harness, which I like, and is great for sport or trad cragging, but isn't as sturdy or comfortable with more weight. Will be interested to see what you decide. |

I have a petzl Adjama. Its designed to be an alpine harness. The womens version is the Petzl luna. From what I read, it meets all your requirements, minus the non-adjustable leg loops. I use it for all of my climbing, and I think it performs well in all environments. I would check out some more reviews, but I am sure the women's harness isn't too different. |

Thanks for all the inputs; I've been checking them all out. |

I just went through the ordeal of finding a new harness and went with the BD Lotus harness. |
