Black Diamond Solution Guide Harness – Men’s

The Solution Series consists of Black Diamond’s sportier climbing harness, and the Men’s Solution Guide Harness is slightly modified for trad crags like Indian Creek or even longer multi-pitch climbing like Red Rock. It’s mostly the same as the original Solution, with the exception of the Super Fabric exterior that boasts advanced durability for chimneys, offwidths, and rubbing against the rock on hanging belays. Apart from that, and the fifth gear loop for items like gloves and cord, the Solution Guide still features the same Fusion Comfort Technology that uses two separate strands of webbing to balance comfort and lightness. The single waist buckle is easy to cinch on and off, the elasticized leg loops are easy to move in, and the detachable risers allow drop seat functionality.

  • Climbing harness built specifically for trad
  • Super Fabric provides durable abrasion resistance
  • Fusion Comfort Technology lessens weight without inhibiting comfort
  • Single waist buckle and elasticized leg loops for quick on-and-off
  • Four pressure-molded gear loops and fifth gear loop for extras
  • Item #BLD00Z6
  • So new for spring 19 the solution guide. Harness so what we did with this is we took the solution harness which is a great comfortable awesome harness, and we said let’s make a super durable kind of. Designed for trad climbing and chimney and grinding and like just a super burly rig it’s almost the same geometry not. Quite exactly it’s a little wider through the waist for a little more support we kept the same gear loops fixed legs of course same belay loop we. Added a fifth gear loop in the back if you want to hang your gloves or knife or belay device or whatever you want to do back there it still has your zero can tag line to tag a line but the really cool feature on this guy is this fabric. That’s used on the leg loops and on the waist and it’s called super fabric which. Is not very exciting but that’s what it’s called and it’s incredibly durable so the reason we picked it is for the. Guys that are lying back at indian creek and like grinding in the chimneys in the valley and stuff like that it’s i don’t want to say it’s indestructible because you can break anything if you try hard enough but it’s really super durable and it’s some kind of laminated epoxy ceramic dots onto the fabric or. Something it’s really cool we also have the women’s women’s comes in this color called coral which is a different on the legs there so this replaces our kaos. Harnesses kind of our big wall free. Roots sort of rigged at 99 bucks. It’s a great harness that’s literally gonna last you forever available in January 99 95 394 grams out. While you know engineering team army of. Folks over there when they were tasked with hey we need a new fabric that’s really durable we have a guy here that. Burns through a harness a month like just grinding up the creek you know just lay it back and usually right here on the legs is what takes the biggest brunt of the wear, so we just tried a bunch of different fabrics and literally just gave it to him and said go, and then he would come back and you just go i mean you go that’s no good and so these guys hunted. Down this company called super fabric, and they had this fabric for our purposes it ended up working out great and it’s super durable and at 99. Bucks the kaos used to be 129 so a. Really great value for the super durable big long free root heather guy we’re. Girl he’s still along a sample yeah for. Real it’s good yeah so it’s pretty nice. 99 bucks.

For the ankles when jumping up rock hillsides see and cotton socks are too thick for this shoe which is a bummer because cotton socks provide me with better grip and keep my feet drier the. Right shoe felt much smaller than then left i also did not like the split. Tongue field but wearing socks makes it bearable brbrbr fit one v br — br pr. Os br none br co ns br out-of-the-box. They were horribly tight the only way i could fit my feet was by taking off the. Insole and stretching the guts out of the fabric the length is true to size x. Is not a shoe for those of us with really wide feet my foot spread is wider. Then the shoe itself my feet suffered quite a busy and just when i thought it was paying off the paper like mid sole started peeling away i thought removing the bottom part of the insole would help but my feet were exhausted and achy after weeks of trying to stretch the shoe and i was forced to find the most minimalist insole i could find after trial and error see i went. For the super feet carbon insole which took virtually no space inside the show yet provided outstanding protection this. Will cost these shoes between one and two stars i shouldn’t have to go buy insoles. That are more expensive than the shoe itself br fi nal verdict brits a good. Pair of shoes minimalist ish and seems. Durable but in my case eket was definitely not comfortable and i had to go through more time and money in order to make my monster feet feel like home in them i like the lucy and the fact.
