Black Diamond Chaos Harness description

If your standard day on the rock includes muti-pitch routes and hanging belays, the comfort of the Black Diamond Chaos Harness is perfect for you.

Bottom Line: Get a long way off the ground with the Chaos.

but its main color is grey i thought black as displayed.. anyway condition is satisfactable.. cheers

I have never once found a situation this hasn't excelled at, from 6 consecutive hanging belays in Black Velvet Canyon to 25-foot whippers on the Trophy Wall to having to carry 22 draws plus anchor setups in Owens. I am 5'9", 140 pounds, and the medium fits me perfectly. The huge wide section at the back of the waist strap is really nice for hangdogging or consecutive rappels, and the leg loops catch falls with no pinching of chafing. Plenty of space for tons of gear without feeling like it's pulling the harness down. I haven't found a downside, but a ski racer friend of mine (5'11", 185) says that during ski season, his quads get too big for the leg loops and he wishes they would adjust. I personally like the simplicity of two less straps and don't have the ubermuscle problem, so not an issue for me. And just to answer the "Confused" question (in case anyone was going to use the example), yes, it will work on the moon.

I'm a new climber but wanted to dive right into the sport and do it right. I also am in ROTC and wanted my own harness for our rappel and rope training; needless to say, this harness has everything I need and is really comfortable. It was tested when I slipped on the 75' rappel tower and hung upside down for about 5min trying to "right" myself, it kept me safe and there was no chaffing on my legs. Good service here too.
