Excellent equipment, retired my old Alpine Bod after years of good service. The new harness is great and only slightly different from the original. The fit and form of the new harness is excellent.

Comments about Black Diamond Alpine Bod Harness:

So far this is the best harness that I have found. It's versitile enough that I can pack it for outings and take it rappeling, but it's also comfortable enough to work out problems with in the gym. It's even comfortable enough to clip all of your gear onto while you walk to your site. I've been using the same style (2 different harnesses) for 4 years now, and have never looked back.

I purchased this harness as an inexpensive alternative to tearing up an expensive harness while canyoneering. It has proven to be a great investment. It is durable and has been very comfortable even on long rappels. I recommend it highly.

Loyal customer

By Huck

from Athens, GA on 8/29/2006

Pros:

Comfortable, Durable, Simple

Cons:

Confusing to put on

Best Uses:

Casual, Great for beginners

Comments about Black Diamond Alpine Bod Harness:

I already own a harness just like this. It has been a great investment. I purchased this harness for my wife. We are looking forward to using it Labor Day weekend. She has already tried it on, and it works great, but further testing will prove its durability. Some harnesses make a beginner feel uneasy, but my wife has enjoyed climbing more when she borrows my harness.

Definately a sport harness

By just a stupid newbie

from el paso TX on 7/15/2006

Pros:

Simple

Cons:

Tends to cross over, ouch

Best Uses:

Short climbing expedition

Comments about Black Diamond Alpine Bod Harness:

well it is simple, and I do like how easy it is to drop the legs. It is obviously uncomfortable...duh but does function well, besides the crossing over.
