I’ve used it a bunch
The Petzl Adjama is our Top Pick for Trad Climbing and Multi-pitch adventures because it combines comfort and gear carrying capacity, the two most critical components of any long-route harness. It is easily one of the most comfortable you can buy, and comes at a relatively affordable price. We preferred to use it only for these styles due to its bulk and weight, and chose something lower profile when heading out sport climbing or for the alpine.
The Petzl ADJAMA is a very comfy, well-featured climbing harness. Covering all your needs in one model, it firmly sits in the jack-of-all-trades category. Petzl's years of experience in harness design really shine through and there are no minor design flaws or annoying niggles here. It would be the perfect harness for the UK based all round climber, capable of doing everything from alpinism and Scottish winter to multi pitch mountain trad and even big walling; but it's probably best suited to days at the crag, which let's face it is what most of us do most of anyway. With a pretty fair price of £75 I predict it will become very popular with everyone from beginners purchasing their first harness, through to seasoned climbers who want one model for a bit of everything.
In the Gorges du Verdon we spent long days on walls filled with hanging belays. Weighing a hair over 17 ounces, the Adjama is twice the weight of my sport harness, but it is four times more comfortable. As we headed north to Céüse I wondered if I would notice the weight and regret having not brought a sport-specific harness. I didn’t. In fact, the width of the harness actually made me feel secure and confident, especially when facing those old-school Céüse runouts.

A pictoral representation of UIAA-105 and EN-12277 standards for harnesses.
The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.
