I loooove this harness. The most comfortable harness I've tried... probably in part to the adjustability. The only reason it gets a 4 is, like mountainchick, I wish it had easy-release leg loops. I've squatted without taking the harness off, but it's not something that can be done without much careful attention. I almost can't believe that they thought of so many things but not a drop seat....

I'm a woman, and don't necessarily have a big mellon, but love this helmet. With the Rotomatic adjustment system, you can quickly and easily tighten or loosen the fit to accommodate a hat, or just to make minute adjustments. One or two clicks and it's perfect, and this can be done one-handed (so can be done safely while you're belaying)

I agree that it took some finagling to adjust the ear straps just right, but once that's right, you're good to go. I think this is a comfy helmet as far as helmets go.
