I got one. Comfortable, but not any more or less than any other standard harness I've had. It's my first harness with a divider on the gear loops. Debating cutting it off. After using it for a couple weeks I'm leaning more toward cutting it off. It packs up pretty small, but not as small as something like a CAMP Blitz. Much more comfortable than a Blitz, though. I wouldn't call a Blitz a standard harness. What else can I say? It works, it's comfortable, it's light, it's expensive. I plan to use it for everything rock. Will use a Blitz or considering Mammut Zephir Altitude for ice and ski when I don't want to step into a harness.

I have one, really like it. I also have a Hirundos (new style) and they fit and feel very similar. The main differences are that the Sitta is significantly more packable so I tend to bring it on alpine missions or anywhere where pack space is a premium. It also is much more supple than a Hirundos which makes it feel a lot more like "clothes" than a normal harness since there is no hard edges and it can just be on under my pack all day. It has held up well over a summer of use in the Wasatch, Sawtooths, and other areas. There is not a huge weight savings over the Hirundos (280g) to the Sitta (270g) but you will notice it taking less real estate in your pack. My daily driver remains the Hirundos but I definitely like having the option of something more packable and slightly lighter (even if it really only a 1/4 of a snickers bar worth)
Hit me up with any questions as I've had the Sitta and the Hirundos for quite a while.
