What harness is this? (Babsi and Jacopo in Flashed)

Anyone know what harness Babsi and Jacopo are rocking in this movie (Flashed)? Pretty sure they are both sponsored by Black Diamond and these look like more burley trad harnesses w/ bigger gear loops and I assume they are BD. Finally a Solution Guide replacement?

Been noticing these for about a year on the BD athletes. Feels like they should be coming out soon!

If we are talking about gear... did you guys see, my favorite climber is using my favorite gear --- yes, MY Vaporlock Magnetron locking biner! And they even have multiple! 

@Black Diamond, are you paying attention? Time to bring it back to market!

P sure that was just a normal solution. The gear loops in Connors video don't taper like the ones on Babsi and Jacopo.

I can’t tell from the pictures, but I really hope it has a fifth gear loop..

I've been dreading the day I have to replace my Solution Guide. Perhaps there is hope!

No 5th gear loop in sight, we'll be waiting a bit longer. The ocun levit is kinda close but the gear loops are definitely weak points and the buckles on the leg loops are sub optimal.

Harness design really peaked with this one

One time, I got in the car with my partner who had his Invisalign teeth aligners out because he was eating. I asked how he would clean them normally (and learned he brushes them). Next day, many Ultrasonic Retainer Cleaner Machine ad popped up on my IG feed. I kid you not! Well, I didn't know they even existed, so I had to buy one as a gift for my partner. (They work very well.)

Anyway, after reading this thread on my phone yesterday, I got this Black Diamond ad reel showing Babsi go through her crag climbing kit. In it, she tells me (hehe):

I'm not buying though ... 'cuz I've owned one for years!

It's very easy to mod the harness by tying some cord between the back two gear loops to act as a fifth gear loop.  My friend and I both did this and it has worked quite well.

Oh man me too!!! I just recently had to go to a zone because I had to size down. Solution guide is my all time favorite harness.

It’s crazy how often Magnetrons show up in photos of pro climbers, to this day. Would not be surprised if BD has a few new ones sitting in a box for the blessed.
