Great bit of kit, 07 December 2011
By Alistair (Manchester)
I've just taken up climbing and didn't want to spend a fortune on kit, so this harness is perfect.
I've used it a couple of times already and found it to be very comfortable and easy to use, especially with the elasticated leg loops, no messing about with buckles. Unlike others, I've had no problems with the belay. it's smooth to use and you get the choice to control desent, fast or slow. the chalk bag and karb are also great quality. I'm so impressed with the harness i've just bought another one for my son in the daily deals!

Harness, 30 October 2011
By Rob
This is great for a starter pack for a new climber, ther harness is great. But the belay device is not very good since it kept on jamming on me when belaying the climber, but apart from this its great value for what you get with it. thumbs up from me

Fantastic Value & Great Kit, 10 June 2011
By Tony (Bolton)
I have had this kit for 6 months now and use every week for inddor climbing, the harness is very comfortable and very easy to put on and take off, even the guys at the climbing centre couldnt beleive the price I paid for it all !!

As mentioned if using a thick rope the belay device does stick a little but nothing to get too worried about.

If your just getting into climbing or even want some new kit then get one bought !

Great Price for What you Get!, 09 December 2010
By Deary65 (Bath)
Very pleased with this harness. I got the larger version which comes in a nice blue.
The comfort is great, is easy to adjust and looks good.
My only criticism is that the belay device provided has too much friction for my liking.
Overall, a great deal. Not one to be ignored!

Security and simplicity where and when you need it!, 25 February 2010
By Mountain Goat
A great offer on a set of three good quality and essential climbing aids. The harness is quick to fit with its elasticated leg loops and the waist buckle is smooth but secure.

The crab has a positive feel to the locking ring and is a solid design.

I found the belay device adequate but it does stick every now and again when the rope is under greatest tension.

The chalk bag is basic but good enough for the job.

Great value starter kit, 07 February 2010
By Mark
Bought this kit last week and have climbed with it three times already...... so far I'm very impressed!
I am a novice climber and find this much more comfortable than the ones I've previously hired at the indoor wall.
This appears to be great value for money, with the individual items coming up at close to £100 if bought seperately.
I tried four different harnesses in the shop and found this one the best fit, it also has the quality and 'feel' of a much more expensive harness.
Only negative as far as I can see it the lack of adjustment on the leg straps (however not a concern for me at this stage as I have no plans to climb outdoors.....yet!!!)

Good Value Climbing Kit, 26 January 2010
By Scott (Mancheser)
Bought this product last year to get me started out climbing.

The harness is good quality for a beginners one and is generally quite comfortable - I'm a big lad so there's a lot of weight on my harness!

The only real downside with this kit is the belay device. I've been told its designed for smaller ropes than most centres use. so I find it sticks a little bit and you have to put a little more. it has deep v slots on the brake sides and the ropes tend to stick on this and the body of the device.

The chalk bag is pretty normal, but very useful.

The crab provided is a very basic locking one and is a heavy steel design but for use at the climbing wall is perfect and works as expected.

One note - the kit i bought had a different harness than this - as i remember at the time this was the picture on the website but the harness with the kit is the red one without the adjustable leg straps - i would suggest that they change the picture!

Overall this is a good beginners kit and I would recommend it to anyone starting out. there's no where you could buy these items separately for this price!
