The Jade CR Women's Harness by Camp USA is the crag queen's crown. Several innovative features directly address the major discomforts women experience with typical performance rock harness. An innovative Sliding Waist Belt System allows the waist belt padding to slide along the structural webbing making it easy to perfectly center the padding and tie-in point, independent of your waist size. Fold-Over Construction carries the padding over the top of the waist belt to dramatically increase comfort, especially against bare skin. And Edge-load construction on the leg loops distributes force across the entire surface of the padding thereby helping to eliminate pressure points and other discomforts. Constructed from 4mm super-perforated EVA foam fixed with minimal interior stitching to a new softer 3-D honeycomb mesh. Also equipped with patented No Twist belay loop and Flat Link elastic in the rear. Four gear loops and full-strength haul loop.

Jealous boy friend

Has a truck load of features the quick adjust buckle style no "back weaving!" Two slots for the "hub" racking system same thing as a BD ice clipper, bring on the ice screws. The sliding waist belt makes it fit just right no matter how you adjust it which is a ton and a half times better than your waist belt being off center like the Mammut Vision. The no twist belay slot keeps your belay biner from flopping or twisting around not crucial but handy. Full strength Haul loop is handy also. This thing fits really well and was more comfortable than the BD primrose Mammut Vision and the Petzl Luna. She's a size 8 normally and not very hippy the small was perfect with the medium really couldn't get the waist to snug down enough and not raise to much when sitting in it. Uber padded as you can tell I am pretty jealous

Super Comfy

I was looking for a harness to upgrade my old bare bones sport harness, and this fit the bill. The runner up was the petzl luna, but I found the luna to dig into my rib cage when hanging. Not an issue with the Jade. I don't even notice I have it on when I'm climbing, and the speed lock makes for quick on and off. Also nice good sized gear loops make me a happy climber :)

Bring on the Whippers

Great harness, super comfortable, even when taking a whipper. The only downside is it gets a little warm climbing in the heat, since it's so well padded it doesn't breathe very well, but given the choice of comfort or breathability I'd take comfort any day.
