Just a quick PSA, the Black Diamond Chaos harness doesn't fit very tight around the groin so if you feel like you need to show off to all the chicks down the crag, i recommend a adjustable harness.

Stuff a couple hexes down there, about the only thing they are useful for.

Probably just shrinkage on your part due to lack of fish heads

Do you like your Chaos? I did at first because it was so much more comfortable for hanging belays and wearing a huge rack compared to my last 3 dead bird harnesses. Now I find any scrambling/hiking with the Chaos kinda crappy since the leg loops never seem to sit right around my thighs (they seem to require a lot of re-adjusting), which ultimately translates into less freedom of movement when getting freaky stylie climbing on a hard pitch.

Funny you say that, i come from the camp quartz and i have to say, i don't find it all that comfortable, it might be that i need to break it in (it's getting more comortable as time goes on) but i just don't find it very comfy at the moment. The leg loops are okay(ish) wish they sat higher in the groan so i can just keep everything in it's place (if you drift my catch), they are big on me and i probably should have gone for the small instead of the medium so walking comfort isn't great because the loops seem to catch on each other(pretty loose) they could also be wider. Not sure what to do tbh, i like the harness though i thinks it's a bit to big on me, so do i get another chaos harness in a smaller size or do i get the ozone for it's sexy weight and low profile? Would probably rate it higher if it wasn't to big for me.
