I love GriGris. Got it for Christmas... I use it mostly to belay heavier people (most everyoneI climb with is; I weigh 135 pounds) or self-belay at the gym to set routes.

Harness is extremely comfortable and well designed. Plus, it was very inexpensive. I really like the gear loops, they are siff, and it is easy for me to clip and unclip gear, great all around harness, might get something a little less bulky just for sport climbs, but it wouldn't be as comfy as ths one.

Bought this pad recently, extremely bomber construction. will hopefully last a lifetime for me (feels like it will.)

real bargin, but a hip belt will make the hike out easier

Just took a real high fall on it yesterday, still feels great.

I just got these two weeks ago and only have climbed in them indoors. But so far they've been great-- easy break in and super sticky rubber.
