Great Basic Harness

I bought this primarily for single pitch routes when I didn't want to wear a beefier trad/MP harness. After a decade of recommending the momentum to beginner climbers as their first harness, I decided to drink my own kool-aid and buy it. Its comfy enough for fast and light multi-pitch. I do get a little bruising from hanging belays or repeated falls when projecting but this is to be expected with a lightweight harness. The double waistbelt buckles plus leg adjusters was the main selling point... for me. They are totally worth it and I doubt I'd buy a harness without it. The only thing I dislike is that sewing on the waistbelt ends often catch on the elastic loops that they pass through. This happens when loosening the harness and adds additional fumbling. If they were tacked folded in, instead of out, this would prevent this issue while still allowing a little backup for the speed adjust buckles.
If you're looking for a versatile and all-purpose harness with a great range of adjustability and durability, look no further than the Black Diamond Momentum DS harness. The Momentum DS features dual pre-threaded Speed Adjust buckles on both the waistbelt and the leg loops. This translates to a wide range of options for climbing in all kinds of weather and conditions, and also means you could lend your harness to your friends without having to worry much about the fit. The tall, uniquely shaped waistbelt offers supreme comfort during long belays, and the harness has four pressure-molded gear loops. If you need a great entry-level harness that can handle everything you throw at it, grab the Momentum DS and head out to the crags.
