Black Diamond Big Gun Harness reviews and deals for sale

Awesome Harness

I just tested it out this weekend on a Abseil course teaching Scouts. Lot of time hanging mid air. Very comfortable with lot of gear hooks..

The Best Harness

I love this Harness, it is so comfortable and durable. As a Big dude this harness truly gives me the confidence I want.

Super comfy

very comfy and can hold tons of gear! only down size is the size, very bulky for travel.

Comfortable

I bought this harness to replace my entry level metolius. It is extremely comfortable for all day use. The extra gear loops are great as well.

5 stars

Way comfortable, although I seem to sweat a lot in it.

5 stars

had to switch over to a different harness for the trad climbing I've been doing, and this is the perfect harness for that.

Comfy

After many hard catches and uncomfortable belays I ended up ditching my minimalistic sport harness in favor of this bad boy. I personally love the padding construction and placement, as being a slim jim I have a lack of natural padding of my own. The extra gear loops are a bonus for trad as well, but I have yet to use the extra belay loop. Overall this harness is a great choice… read more for those needing a comfortable fit.

10/10 Would Recommend

This harness is incredible. Now, maybe I am over the top about it as it replaced a much smaller, sport climbing harness that I had recently been using for long multi-pitch days, so this thing feels like a dream. The waist belt is really comfortable and forgiving, they put on ample gear loops for those of us that like to have double the gear that the route calls for, and the 2 belay… read more loops make it really easy to manage a lot of rope work when you're getting rowdy up on the wall. Can't say enough great things about this harness, just don't forget to double back those buckles! Love it!

Solid

I tend to over rack my harness. The many gear loops allow for better organized over racking habits. The two belay loops can be useful for big wall applications. It's a solid, sturdy, comfy harness. It's also heavy. Quite heavy. Know that before buying it. You won't be cramming this harness into the last spare few inches of your pack.

not great on hanging belays for me

This harness shines when you need to rack up for trad climbs because of the extra gear loops, and it's supposed to be more padded and comfortable. It has been my go-to harness for all outdoor climbing because the bulkiness inspires confidence. However, I have always been uncomfortable on hanging belays using this guy. For a long time I told myself this is just the nature of hanging… read more belays. But I've been using my tiny little Mammut zepher harness more lately and realized it's suprisingly WAY more comfortable than the big gun while hanging. I don't know if it's just me, my hips might be too small for the large padding on the big gun so that it never sits quite right.

Gear & Belay Loops, with Comfort.

I bought this mainly because I'm OCD and wanted to organize all my gear better on multi-pitch routes but couldn't believe how comfortable it actually is! It's pretty bulky but that's just added comfort physically and mentally.

The cadillac of big wall harnesses

Where do I begin? If you're going to be spending the entire day in your harness, or any extended period of time for that matter, then this is the one. With seven gear loops you can easily fit the iron skirt while the design is sturdy and keeps the harness from sagging. Two belay loops let you multi task and also provides that warm fuzzy feeling when you know you're being redundant.… read more Sometimes i feel like i'm sitting in a lazy boy and forget that I'm at a hanging belay. This harness is my work horse for most of the climbing I do, and was definitely money well spent. It's durable and is built to last.

Comfort

This harness is definitely the most comfortable harness I have ever had. It has a good amount of padding, tons of gear loops and the double belay loop is a pretty cool feature to have. This harness is great except for the fact that it doesn't pack down super small but i'd rather be comfortable and carry a bulkier harness. I'd recommend it for multi pitch/big wall and even for single… read more pitch crag days if you aren't worried about weight. I'm 6'3" and about 165 lbs, I purchased a medium and it fits perfect.

Super Comfortable!

I have had this harness for about a year. I switched from a thinner sport harness. The only down side to this harness is you sacrafice being comfortable for a little bit of extra weight. I wanted a more padded harness for those days of sitting on the wall doing multi-pitch climbs or bigger alpine climbs. I will say when I tried them on I tried the medium and large. I went with the… read more large only because the medium seemed to small and they aren't suppose to stretch at all but it did. But over all I love this harness. Being able to stack cams, water bottles, slings, draws, etc and still be comfortable is a huge plus.

Great harness, but hot

Size up if you're a short-waisted woman. I have a 28" waist (so I ordered a small) but because I'm hourglass shaped and the waist belt is so wide, it didn't fit and I had to go up to a medium. Love just about everything about this harness except for two things: 1. The padding is awesome and makes it more comfortable, but if you're in a warm place you will sweat a TON under this… read more harness- and I am not a sweaty person. 2. I wish they made a women's version because the width of the waist belt and leg loops are disproportional to my 5'2" frame. Girls need big wall harnesses too!

Super Comfortable

Absolutely awesome harness. I use it for my all day trad harness at the Gunks. Super comfortable to hang in and for rapping. I can fit my entire rack on it, with space to spare, and makes organizing things a breeze. 2 belay loops are awesome for at the Gunks, allows you to keep your belay organized. Everything is super padded on this harness, so even at long hanging belays I'm able… read more to prevent losing feeling in my legs, which is a bonus!

Very comfortable

Solid harness that I don't mind being in for an entire day. Only problem for me is the position of the gear loops, when you have the harness completely loaded it can become a pain to get to what you need. The double belay loops makes transferring a belay very quick.

Am I wearing a harness or pillows?

This is the most comfortable harness I have every worn. I can, and have, hang in them all day. The number of gear loops is great for all your pieces and whatever else you want to bring. I also find myself using this harness while I'm setting at my local gym, which I find to be a wonderful decision. No more blood loss/tingling in the legs!

7 gears loops

This puppy has 7 gear loops. I can put so much gear on here that I end up wearing my whole rack up routes just because I can. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up for debate. But this thing is comfortable. I can hang in this thing all day. I often will spend an hour or more top belaying several people up routes just to try and save time, which wouldn't have been possible… read more in my old Petzl Corax. This baby supplies all day comfort.

Fallen, bashed, and wore for many hours

I love this harness. I've fallen on it, abrasively moved it against rock, and sat in snow, dirt, and various elements without any problems. It's comfortable as all can be and the gear loops make for an easy management of whatever you may have.

How much does it weigh?

Are there any built in Ice Clipper slots on this harness?

Does this model of harness require that the leg/waist loops be doubled back when being tightened?
