A solid harness with lots of nice extras By Shay from Santa Cruz, CA on 11/13/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Simple Best Uses: Indoor, Outdoor Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I needed a new harness for the climbing gym and some outdoor climbing. This harness package is a great value--you get a nicely made, comfortable harness along with a belay device and chalk bag, with a mesh bag to hold everything together. I bought a large harness but could probably have gone with a medium, and I'm happy with how easy the harness is to put on and how comfortable it is over my clothes. If STP has any of these left, get one while you can!

By nicky from md on 10/01/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Simple Best Uses: Indoor, Outdoor Describe Yourself: Getting Started Sizing: Feels full size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: the harness itself is great - this is just a sizing note.. is too small if you order according to chart. i know that size charts are hardly consistent out there, but i generally order things in the 28-30 range & im fine, or womens pant size 7 or 9 depending on the brand & how i want it to fit. but this harness in the size 8, tho i could wear it - was definitely out to the max of its adjustment & super uncomfortable. so, order at least a size up, & if you are going to be wearing outside of bulky, wintering sort of things id order two sizes up. i ended up with a ten which is fine but id be a bit squished if i needed any sort of jacket underneath. the adjustment for the legs is fine but for the waist it really isnt that wide a range & kind of use the smaller measurement as your guide. other than that the harness is awesome, the package is at a great price & i actually already have recommended it to a friend.
A great deal on a great package By Jon from Reno on 07/22/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Double-back straps are less idiot-proof than the self-locking ones.
It's a great deal on a nice harness.
*GREAT* beginner package. By Crunchy Climber in the City from New York, NY on 07/17/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Simple Best Uses: Indoor, Long Climbs, Outdoor Describe Yourself: Avid Climber Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This was the climbing package that I started with 5 years ago. It really does have everything you need to get started, other than shoes (and once you get down to it, a few extra biners, slings, a rope, a helmet, maybe a rack, and a partner). The harness really is very comfortable. During long multipitches, I often forget that I have it on - that is, until I fall and find myself hanging by it. 5 years of very regular climbing (more or less twice a week, both in a gym and up in the Gunks, minus a couple month long dry spells) and a number of sizeable falls later, the harness is barely worse for the wear. And I still use the ATC that came with the package, too. I only wish that there were more gear loops on the harness, now that I'm climbing outside and using pro, but as a beginner, that's not something you'd need to worry about. I also think that later models of the Primrose harness do have more loops, so this might not even be an issue anymore. Overall, a fantastic package. It will get you started, and last you years.
