Comments about Black Diamond Focus SA Harness:
Replaced an old SafeTech with this harness and am very happy. In particular, the nylon belting on this harness is a bit higher on the padding than on the SafeTech, where it is basically centered. For me, this allows the harness to ride much more comfortably on my hips, especially when loaded with draws, by canting along the bones. I've spent whole days in this harness walking from crag to crag without feeling the need to take it off like I did my old SafeTech.
The SA buckles on the leg loops seem to slip a little, allowing some loosening every couple of hours. Not a big deal to retighten and I enjoy the convenience of being able to loosen/tighten the leg loops easily depending upon how bulky my pants are (i.e., the weather).
