Black Diamond Equipment Harnesses

Whether you're an outdoor climber who tackles aggressive routes or a casual gym climber, there is a harness for you. The Focus Harness ($79.95) is designed for more heavy duty sessions while the Flight Harness ($69.95) is perfect for sport climbing. Both feature ventilating foam and fully adjustable straps, for optimal comfort.

Or reviewer said: "This harness spoiled me. When I switched back to the rental harness, the difference in comfort was vast. Plus there's the added peace of mind of knowing that I'm using a new harness without any defects."
