The Mentor (I own the Mentor AL) is a wonderful harness for mountain and general use. You don't notice having it on. I agree, even so, with another reviewer: could be not comfortable for long belays; it is too narrow at sides. I recommend it for mountain use, and for routes where you do not have to wait half an hour or more totally hanging. Similar Products Used: Petzl Jump, Petzl Gouru, Camp Sherpa |

Overall this is a good harness. It is super comfortable and it has caught many falls while cragging. Most of my friends have this or the AL. The velcro strap really aids putting it on. The gear loops are kind of small though. I had to retire it after half a year of climbing because the upper tie-in point started to fray due to snagging on rope tips. Be careful when passing the rope through this part because it is not reinforced like the lower one. Either that or make sure your rope tips are smooth. Similar Products Used: Arc'teryx Targa |
