Primrose AL
Description
The Primrose AL offers female climbers the same comfort, ventilation and durability that Black Diamond harnesses are known for, at a price fit for dirtbags and new climbers alike. We outfitted the Primrose AL with a traditional waistbelt buckle and our trakFIT leg loop adjustment system, which uses a simple, secure slide adjuster to quickly and easily adjust the diameter of the leg loop and provide a wide range of fit. The waistbelt is built with our Dual Core Construction, which uses two slim bands of high-tensile webbing on the outer edges of the waistbelt and a venting OpenAir foam insert in the center to offer breathable, lightweight comfort without pressure points.
-Traditional, fold-back waistbelt buckle
-Women's-specific bullhorn-shaped OpenAir waistbelt built with Dual Core Construction
-Patent-pending trakFIT leg loop adjustment for easy, worry-free adjustability of women's-specific OpenAir leg loops
-Adjustable, releasable rear elastic riser
-4 pressure-molded gear loops
-12 kN-rated haul loop

This is a solid, useful and affordable all-around harness. The foam-padded waistbelt has a soft, smooth fleece lining, and both it and the leg loops are easy to adjust for adding clothing layers. One shining, easy-to-overlook feature is the four wide, protruding and accessible pressure-molded gear loops, which curve slightly at center to reduce cluster.
My only issue concerned the waistbelt, which I found a little short, having to crank to plug the end in its keeper tunnel. I have a pretty average build and haven’t heard any whispers about barrels lately, so my experience suggests you size large.
