Black Diamond Momentum AL Climbing Harness | Black Diamond Momentum AL Climbing Harness
4.5 out of 5 based on 74 user reviews.
Cred: 922 | | Cheap, durable, quality engineering (mostly), alpine leg-loops, full strength haul loop, chalk bag clip, hard gear loops (4), fairly comfortable, and generally a good all around harness. |
| Leg loop elastic adjuster ALWAYS loosens itself. Only a comfort piece and not important for safety, but it is certainly annoying to constantly be tightening it. I also wish it had the red "danger" painted on the buckle to help ensure you've got it on right. It would make spot checking a partner easier |
|
Cred: 240 | | Reasonably comfortable as long as you don't hang in it too much, cheap, plenty of gear loops, fully adjustable. |
| Gets uncomfortable if you hang in it for too long (setting routes at a gym, hanging belay, etc.), double waist adjustment would be nice to keep the belay loop centered |
|
Cred: 578 | | Bought two in the package. One for my son and I to start him climbing and haven't regretted it at all. The fit is good and the seems and sewing are top notch. That where it's appearance impressed and assured me from the getgo! |
| Black Diamond you got this retired Ranger back outdoors and trying to keep up with his teenagers dang you! Although the belay loop in the back leaves me worried when the kids Aussie rappel. It's just not as thick as the front. |
| For a beginner and a poor father of active teens Wakan Tonka hands would'nt leave me more at ease |
|
Cred: 515 | | good stuff here. been using for nearly 2 years and yeah its about time for a new harness but it has been an excellent. quality material and good engineering. |
| black diamond all around harness. no complaints here. |
|
Cred: 1700 | | Extremely comfortable in every way. The leg loops are adjustable around your leg and also on your butt. The gear loops are formed so they stick out and are extremely accessible. They way the harness cradles your body is almost as if the divine hand reached out and gently saved you from falling off the rock. Absolutely wonderful harness. |
|
Cred: 2509 | | excellent harness for all uses. Comfortable and reliable. have not had a problem with the leg loop adjuster as others have stated, but i can see where that may be a problem, just haven't had the joy myself. This is a great all around beginners harness |
|
Cred: 601 | | cheap, comfortable, and does all I need. I can wear it all day and forget I have it on. The adjustable legs (AL) are very nice to have. So far the gear loops have been bomber and are well placed. Can't complain for the price |
| Not too much. Could use red paint on buckles for added safety. Not the lightest harness. |
|
Cred: 1364 | | Quality harness for the price. 4 gear loops, which is nice if you don't like racks. Pretty comfortable too. |
| Don't much like the leg loops, especially the adjustable buckles. They come loose too easily. |
|
Cred: 881 | | A very inexpensive and comfortable harness with semi wide waistband. I've taken multiple falls between 10 and 40 feet in this harness and it's always very comfortable. In one 60 foot slab fall i wore a fat hole in the leg loop but it still caught me comfortably! |
|
Cred: 556 | | I find that the rear leg loop suspenders always slip, so by leg loops slip down and become uncomfortable and in the way. The belay loop holding strap also always comes undone, so the belay loop moves around the top, making putting it back on with a full rack attached a little confusing. |
|
Cred: 951 | | Great Harness, super comfortable. Durable construction and the gear loops are great. |
| The back pad of the waistbelt makes your lower back really hot and catches a ton of sweat. Also the buckles should have some sort of danger text, or red paint to make you double it back. |
|
Cred: 2643 | | I've had this harness for almost 4 years. Its taken a BEATING; climbing, canyoneering and caving. The elastic leg loop holder uppers have broken many times but that is just a comfort thing. I've loved it. |
| Honestly, I can't think of one thing I don't like about this harness. |
|
Cred: 26 | | comfortable enough to wear all day, won't put a hole in your wallet |
| it would be nice if the buckles had an automatic double back feature |
| go with the speed harness if you want the automatic double back feature |
|
Cred: 831 | | its the perfect beginer climbing harness
its cheap
comfortable
I still use it after i bought my other harness |
|
Cred: 18 | | Bought this harness in a package (it came with a belay device and a decent chalk bag) to start climbing at my local gym. I am still a noob, but I can recommend this to anyone who isn't too picky about their climbing gear (sans shoes). I have no complaints... it fits me well, adjustable everywhere I need it to be, and it's comfy, even when I am halfway up the overhanging pitch and need to sit there for 5 minutes while my arms regain feeling. I will probably have this harness for years... it's well made and I don't see any wear and tear, after 4 months of climbing in thy gym. |
| No complaints here.... more technical climbers will probably have some negative things to say, but this harness works just fine for me,. |
| Just get this one... the price is right! |
|
Cred: 150 | | Affordable, comfortable even after hours in it, fully adjustable, great gear loop location. |
| Bulky, awkward rise (shoulda bought the Primrose.) |
| Primrose (for women/smaller climbers), s240 (because who DOESN'T want one of those?) |
|
Cred: 348 | | Great all around harness. Good to hang in route-setting, take whippers, put on over heavy clothes. Just a very quality harness. |
| I don't like the type with speed buckles, just because I don't prefer speed buckles. |

| This was my first love. (My very first harness) Which is now my throw back harness. I still enjoy using it, its comfy, and how its stiff, doesn't let me enjou staying in one spot for to long for reasons. |
| Stiff. And the hip tighting loop. |
|
Cred: 17 | | Small gear loops. Wear a gear sling for med to longer trad routes. The webbing that connects the leg loops to form the rope guide ALWAYS comes undone, even when doubled back through |
|
Cred: 497 | | basic harness, nothing real special. good sturdy harness |
| not much padding in waist band, but straps come loose easity |

| Great piece of gear. I've been climbing with the Momentun for 3 years now, and I love it. Comfortable, it doesn't chafe on long multi-pitches, the gear loops are well placed for grabbing a draw when you're in a hurry and don't have time to look/feel around for them. The elastic straps make putting it on nice and quick too. |
| The loop in the back for chalk is a little too big, I find my bag will hang almost all the way past my bum if I use a standard beaner to attach it. |
|
Cred: 23 | | Comfortable, reasonable price, great first harness. I have had no problems with it so far, I've only used it in the gym to top rope and lead, and everything works the way it should. I would recommend this harness to anyone looking for a decently priced, durable and comfortable first harness. |
| The only thing that I can find is the leg loops do seem to ride up occasionally. It's not uncomfortable, just a little annoying to keep pulling them down because your pants or shorts get way to bunched up. |
|
Cred: 8 | | Cheap, durable, pretty comfortable, Great harness if you are getting into climbing or repelling. |
| double waist adjustment would be nice to keep the belay loop centered, and the leg loops come loose very easily |
|
Cred: 23 | | Great comfort, super light, and has multiple clip racks for quickdraws. It is exceptional for what it is. |
| Great beginners harness. Price is right and it has all the extras that one would need. |
|
Cred: 215 | | good harness for the price. comfortable and quick to use. enough room for plenty of gear on all the loops. |
| not very comfortable to hang for long periods. larger leg loops would be more comfortable. |
|
Cred: 266 | | Great Harness. Great Price. Wear it all day and forget that you have it on. If you are on a budget the look no further, this is your harness.
|
|
Cred: 165 | | Very comfortable for the price. It's kept me feeling pretty good during many long belay days on the challenge course. |
| Elastic on leg loops is always loose. |
|
Cred: 128 | | Comfortable and inexpensive. Lightweight and aging well. |
| Simple and inexpensive, you get what you pay for. |
|
Cred: 203 | | I love the gear loops. They can hold a lot of weight and can take some punishment. |
| I don't have anything bad to say about this harness. |
|
Cred: 12 | | very comfortable and affordable |
| only 1 buckle on the front, making the back a little off center |
|
Cred: 11 | | great extra harness for newcomers. kinda annoying that you have to double back the webbing. if this is your primary harness I would go for one with a buckle that doesn't need doubling back |
|
Cred: 31 | | the gear loops are rubber and can brake if your cam or nut snags on something |
| anything with stronger gear loops. |
|
Cred: 26 | | Super padded, can literally sit in it for long extended periods with no pain or dis comfort, awesome gear loops, adjustable leg loops, un-clippable leg loops |
|
Cred: 11 | | price is great and holds up to the test... i have been using one for a while now and have had no problems. |
| maybe could use a couple more loops... |
|
Cred: 14 | | Amazing harness for the price. Comfortable, tough, and fits over anything. |
| Hanging on it can get uncomfortable after a little, but minor adjustments can fix it. |
|
Cred: 8 | | I've been nothing but happy with this product. Super comfortable, well fitting, and for the past 8 years, I've been happy using nothing else. |
| I've never used anything else nearly as nice. |

| just got into the indoor climbing thing and this harness fits great, has plenty of padding where its needed and i pretty much forgot i had it on until it caught me on a few falls... |
| could use a place to tuck the extra straps on the leg adjustments, but other than that a great harness for the money... |
|
Cred: 51 | | Comfortable, fits snugly, easy to adjust, well-placed gear loops. |
|
Cred: 5 | | I love the fact that this harness is fully adjustable. it is a great starter to intermediate harness for every one. |
|
Cred: 20 | | Needs a few more gear loops for trad leading. |
|
Cred: 92 | | Really comfortable for the price. Sewn in belay loop eliminates some operator error. |
|
Cred: 188 | | Nice, comfortable, adjustable, quality, nice biner rack |
|
Cred: 5 | | Excellent harness, very adjustable and functional. Plenty of gear loops and just enough padding to be comfy without too much bulk |
| Sizing is odd, check the chart before purchasing. |
|
Cred: 3 | | Great all around harness, love how it all adjusts, easy on and off, good for lightweight and bulky clothing, comfortable |
| Elastic straps may loosen and/ or stretch permanently over time |
|
Cred: 20 | | good beginner's harness with great mobility and sturdy gear loops |

| I wish the gear loops were a tad bit wider |
|
