Product Details
Description:
Strip down an old favorite, remove extra padding, add strong, weight-balancing Kinetic Core Construction, and you have Black Diamond's 14-ounce Chaos harness, a sleek design that doesn't cause pressure points. Based on NASA technologies, liquid crystal polymer strands provide exceptional strength while alleviating pressure points, making it possible to use far less padding for the same amount of comfort in a super-lightweight harness.

Features:

  • Get a sleek fit and total comfort without bulky padding in a bullhorn-shaped waistbelt with Kinetic Core Construction; tri-laminate of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) developed for NASA spacesuits is used in place of narrow structural webbing that requires thick, heavy padding to alleviate pressure points
  • Support your lumbar with lightweight polyethylene foam inserts that surround the strands of LCP that are distributed along the harness core, sandwiched between 2 layers of taffeta
  • Ensure your comfort with the SoftEdge Construction that incorporates an internally-seamed top edge and soft, supple liner that prevents abrasion and chafing
  • Further mitigate sweat and chafing with help from the breathable, padded lumbar insert
  • Clip gear to the 4 pressure-molded gear loops; 15 kN-rated haul loop
  • Dial in the fit with the pre-threaded Speed Adjust waistbelt buckles

Specifications:

  • Weight: 14 ounces
  • Haul loop: yes
  • Gear loops: 4
  • Padded leg loops: yes
  • Droppable leg loops: yes

Comments about Black Diamond Chaos Harness:

I've had it about a month and a half. It's as perfect as I can reasonably expect. When it comes to packing it, it's a little bulkier than I would like but the comfort is just phenomenal. When you wear it it does not feel bulky at all. In fact it feels like nothing, you forget you have it on. Also, when you've got a full trad rack dangling from the gear loops, the harness disperses the weight throughout the whole harness which removes any pressure points. The haul loop is full strength but a little small. Not the same size as the haul loop on older model BD harnesses. It's not a problem but, I used to rack my cordelettes on the fist sized haul loop of my old harness. This loop is about the size of two fingers. The non adjustable leg loops were my major concern before I bought this harness and I'm not having a problem with them. My legs are on the skinny side and the leg loops just seem to position themselves in a comfortable spot when I hang or fall. The gear loops are adequately large and I have no problem putting a full rack on them. I'm really in love with this harness. If you're thinking about buying it then it's always a good idea to try it on in person before buying it online. I wasn't able to, since I live in South Korea, but I did check the manufactures dimensions to make sure it would fit. It does, and I'm happy.

Comments about Black Diamond Chaos Harness:

Looks like a much better build quality/material choice than many other BD harnesses. I'm pretty standard medium build, but the waist size to leg size ratio was way off on this harness. Couldn't get my thighs happy in the loops of the medium but belly was very content. Returned in favour of a shape that fits me better...
