Black Diamond Bod Climbing Harness

I've worn a Black Diamond Bod harness for decades. Both rock and technical ice. Have taken several 20 and 30 footers with this harness. Works flawlessly. I would wear nothing else.

We use these for community gulch cleannups. Rappelling and sending. Perfect in many levels

The Bod is a decent all round harness. Packs down decently small, can be put on over skis/crampons etc and is fully adjustable. It’s comfortable to wear, easy to organize and racks well, however it’s not the most comfortable to be suspended in. It wouldn’t be my go to harness for cleaning or rebolting or anything else where you’d expect to hang for any amount of time. Be careful of your fit, I sized according to the chart, and I’ll struggle to fit it over winter layers. I’m a L with a 34” waist and it’s at the short end on me with anything more than a thin pair of pants. Doesn’t feel or fit like a bird, but definitely doesn’t cost like one either.

Bought this for a ski mountaineering trip, it was warm and comfortable repelling. Easy to get on and off, and light weight.

Good piece of gear. However, after purchase I have been bombarded with emails from the company on a daily basis.

The very first harness I've tried. Minimalist, old school and does the job. Solid and durable.

I bought this for my wife, and she claims it to be very comfortable while climbing and conducting rappel. Thanks Black Diamond!

I bought this harness to replace my Petzl harness. I have an alpine bod, it's very functional. Bod has the comfy fleece lining and belay loop. Both worth it. I really like how I don't have to step into leg loops. No twisting leg loops that sometimes happens with most harnesses. Plus the Bod 'leg loop' can be tightened to desired snugness. All in all, very simple and functional.

Ive bought it a month ago and used it a few times. It was very very confortable. The thing did really on a short hike in and all day use. Fits well and very tight

Love this harness! Very comfortable for long days & so simple. It's what I use in Winter & is easy to put on regardless of whats on my feet.

The BOD Harness is a solid, all-around performer. It has been in my quiver of harnesses since it was first released in the '90's. Compact, light, comfortable, affordable. Old school design, but new school performance. Not the best option for the specialist, but an outstanding work horse for the trad generalist.

My go to harness for work and climbing. I run a ropes course and can be in it all day long, then have students at a local crag another day. Bod is tried and true.

I have used this harness for years. Simple and comfortable. I like the adjustable leg loops. Easy to put on, even after your crampons are on. Gear loops are in perfect place and a haul loop. I use it for sport, big wall, and trad.

I have an older alpine bod harness which has worked quite well, but it is 15 years old. I am a large guy, so I tried this in XL and the Momentum AL in XXL. I kept the Momentum. The longer leg loops might be OK if the back straps for the leg loops were longer so they sat lower on my legs and farther from my privates. I would have kept it, however, if the Momentum AL hadn't felt better.
