Description: The Cadillac is a versatile harness for big walls, multi-pitch free climbing and for climbers desiring extra comfort. Built wide to spread forces over a larger area, the Cadillac provides superior comfort during hanging belays. Double buckle adjustability, six gear loops, adjustable leg loops and a strong rear haul loop are just some of the many features of our top of the line Evolution harness.

Pros:
Cons:

I've been shopping for a new ice harness, and finally found one that meets all the criteria. I'm tired of a thin waist belt on hanging belays, so I wanted a nice wide belt. I was looking for a good fit (double buckle adjustability would be a plus). I tried the new Petzl Adjama, but the largest size was a little too small (I have a 34" waist). The Callidris only comes in size 1 and 2, and I'm right in between sizes. I came across this harness, and I was sold. Nice quality construction, good fit, double buckle, and lots of gear loops. The haul loop is robust. It doesn't have any webbing loops to slot either the BD or new Petzl ice screw racking biner, but thats a really minor point. I'm really looking forward to climbing in it soon! I'll let you know if it doesn't live up to my expectations.
