"Hey guys, what if we took a critical piece of safety equipment and redesigned it in the name of fashion, making it hard to adjust and virtually impossible to inspect for wear?" Does look cool though.

I'm holding out until they have a full body suit with integrated gear sling, helmet and footwear as well as pockets for bivy gear and whatnot. Only then will the "action suit" truly fulfill its potential.

No speed buckles uh... I expect to see a number of the most challenged contributors to this website sporting those next season. Unless it's not made in 'murica of course.

i want one of those other harnesses in the background. they appear to have a built in/on chalk bag, Perfect! now the chalk is always where i thought it was, which is great for chimneys. . .

Seems like a good idea for alpine routes with a short rappel or something where packing a separate harness would be a bit more of a hassle. Is this gimicky? You bet! Am I thinking I might benefit from it? Yeah I am. EDIT: but to wear this instead of a real harness at the crag seems ridiculous!

I recall seeing an alpine pant with a similar idea. Makes sense for the mountaineering to have an integrated harness, especially for routes which require very little roped work. However, makes no sense to have in shorts form.

So you admit that you are lazy at work? Glad you only work in a gym, and not at the hospital.
