Comfortable and Competition-Ready: Black Diamond’s airNET Harness

The Black Diamond airNet Harness is an outstanding choice for sport climbing. Yes, it’s light, but it’s also comfortable for sport climbing and looks to be durable. The airNet technology performed as intended, and the Infinity belay loop provided a unique advantage. I’ve used other sport climbing harnesses of the “has everything you need, nothing you don’t” ideology. They were safe and light, but there was always a noticeable negative: fussy main buckles, gear loops that didn’t stay open, or waist loops that chafed skin. The Black Diamond airNET Harness avoided all these pitfalls of uber-light design. The takeaway is lightness without the usual drawbacks. Great job, Black Diamond.
