I have a BD solution harness (LARGE 33-36? Despite me being a 31 waist) I love for outdoors/gym session


any opinions or need to know on both harnesses? I think the Honduras might most match what I am already working with, but I wouldn’t mind venturing out. Most of my climbing is single pitch sessions but I do wanna work multi so maybe the Aquila ??? Idk 


thanks in advance

I have the Aquila, I don't like it. The loops are set too far back, I won't even use it outside of gym climbing. 

Assuming you're a sport climber only and not a trad climber, it would be less of an issue. However, for multi-pitch you'll tend to carry more gear and for that reason alone I'd get something else where the loops aren't placed way back like the Aquila. 

If you like Petzl, the Adjama is a better choice in my opinion. I have and like that one. But my top pick for sport climbing harnesses is the Arc'teryx AR-395a.
