I have the Arc'teryx vapor. Good Harness. You can probably find one just as good cheaper though. Depends on what you want. There are a lot of good ones out there. My girlfriend swears by Misty Mountain.

I have an arc'teryx harness (not sure of the model) and I could sleep in it hanging. Yes, it is that comfortable. And Yes again, I hang in it from time to time. Oh. Ok, a little more than time to time. Just don't tell anyone.

Both good. The real issue is; what kind of harness do you need? Sport? Alpine? Bigwall? We can't give (and you can't receive) useful info without your needs being a bit more specific...

I use a BD Blizzard? and a Arcteryx?
Both are tottally adjustable and I use them for sport and Alpine, comfy. You need to try them on though as different body types fit better on some than others.

I have an Arc'teryx Verro....I love it. When I wear it out, I'm buying another one. It's well-padded, well-built, and extremely comfortable.
