<title>I just received this harness today and it seems a little odd.</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Corax-Harness-Mens/PTZ0194M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134264#question_134264</link>
<description>Petzl Corax Harness - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I just received this harness today and it seems a little odd.  Compared with the leg straps (or even with my old Petzl Corax harness), the ends of the webbing for the waist-harness are folded over and sewn in the wrong direction.  Shouldn&#x26;#39;t they be pointed out so that they can catch on the elastic keeper and outside of the buckle?  Can anyone help?</description>

<link>http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/BLD0289/Black-Diamond-Momentum-AL-Harness.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_130384#question_130384</link>
<description>Black Diamond Momentum AL Harness&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;m a novice climber and am looking to buy my first harness. so far i have been climbing with a one size fits all type harness that has been incredibly uncomfortable and difficult to adjust. I am a REALLY skinny person and am having trouble finding a harness that fits waistwise. i tried on an XS womens primrose and it fit well in the waist while the small momentum overlapped when i got it to fit snugley. since Black Diamond doesn&#x26;#39;t make any mens XS harnesses what would you recommend I look for? i think i need at least a 27 in waist and a 21in or larger adjustable leg, any suggestions?</description>

<description>Black Diamond Chaos Harness&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;How does this harness compare to the 2008 petzl sama harness?  i&#x26;#39;m looking for a harness that will do it all, i&#x26;#39;ve been climbing in the old hirundos model (pre-neon green) and love it but need something a little more comfortable for the upcoming trad season and would like something a bit more comfortable for projecting sport routes.  I know this harness will work for trad but will it be too bulky for sport routes when compared to the 08 petzl sama harness?  thanks for your help</description>

<description>Arc&#x27;teryx X350a All-Around Climbing Harness&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Can anyone tell me where the ice clipper slots are located and how functional they are? That is my major concern with this harness. BD&#x26;#39;s Xenos has 6 slots and seem to be very well placed, but this harness is lighter. I have the R320 and really like how they are constructed, just trying to make sure the ice clippers are in the right places.</description>

<description>Black Diamond Xenos Harness&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Undecided between this harness and the Arc&#x26;#39;teryx X350a All-Around Climbing Harness. I am looking for a comfortable all-around climbing harness. I have tried both of them on and they both seem to be very comfortable. I just can&#x26;#39;t seem to make up my mind. Any advice?</description>
