Hahaha!

In all fairness though, it is no different than making harnesses in black, or primary colors, from the manufacture perspective. I remember when all harnesses were black, and people complained that they wanted colors. 

I don’t know who wants this trendy harness, but I bet you would get some laughs/conversation starters, if you wear one.

According to their website, one of Grivel's core values is "Responsible innovation within tradition." So don't worry, this is obviously that.

Somebody should buy one for Jeffrey Constine...It would go well with the bandana/scarf thing he wears.

Climbing is just a sport to have fun though.  So why exactly should we not have lepord print harnesses?
Best climber is the one having the most fun.

Do you really need to be giving them free advertising?

Not sure I'm secured enough in my masculinity to buy one though

lol, I swear I'm not. 

Leopard is a little much for my taste. I do like the abstract though.

Personally, I think that the more prints we can get on stuff the better.  I'm not giving up my gear loops I like for fashion, but if I could buy a paisley harness you bet your ass that's what I'd be rocking.

I'm start wearing tights again.  

Climbing is already a silly thing to do; it's probably better to just own it and make it extra silly.  If it ain't fun, it sure ain't worth doing.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
