Solution Guide Harness

The Solution Series consists of Black Diamond's sportier climbing harness, and the Men's Solution Guide Harness is slightly modified for trad crags like Indian Creek or even longer multi-pitch climbing like Red Rock. It's mostly the same as the original Solution, with the exception of the Super Fabric exterior that boasts advanced durability for chimneys, offwidths, and rubbing against the rock on hanging belays. Apart from that, and the fifth gear loop for items like gloves and cord, the Solution Guide still features the same Fusion Comfort Technology that uses two separate strands of webbing to balance comfort and lightness. The single waist buckle is easy to cinch on and off, the elasticized leg loops are easy to move in, and the detachable risers allow drop seat functionality.

Great all around harness

I have been using this harness exclusively for the past couple of years. I got it to replace my previous go-to harness, a BD Chaos. It has been durable and the wider swami and leg loops have made it comfortable for hanging belays, aid routes, and route-setting. I use it for everything from multi-pitch ice routes to big wall solos to days at the sport crag. I do miss the classic bigger haul loop and I don't really use the back gear loop, but otherwise I think BD nailed it on this design.

Hands down the best harness

Hands down the best harness for multi pitch climbing. Super comfortable, easily holds a rack of doubles from .0 to 4, and is very durable.

Day in, day out comfort and durability

This is the second solution guide I have had. I got over 200 days out of the first one. The simple, straightforward design that is comfortable for daily use that includes general diverse abuses meted out guiding on quartz conglomerate in the Gunks, dakota sandstone in Eldorado Canyon, Alpine Granite in the Eastern Sierras; this an all arounder’s choice type of harness. Very happy with it!

Complete Klimbing Gear!

I’m so happy with all the new equipament, like a child with the new christmas toys. Thanks to the entire Black Diamon team for the attention received and for the attention received. Despite a couple of changes that I had to make, everything has been very fast, efficient and comfortable! Thank you! Now I'm ready for the best adventures!

Solution Guide Harness

Great Harness. This replaced my ~10 year old BD harness and I'm expecting that it's going to last just as long. The stitching is top quality and there's tons of room for racking gear. The padding is wide, meaning that this is a super comfortable harness for hanging. Additionally, the padding is pretty sleek so it's not tough to walk in--haven't tried hiking/scrambling in it yet though. Only desire would be to see an Ice clipper slot added on. This def is a gym and sport/trad mainstay harness that I'm excited to push into the alpine climbing environment. While I think I'll keep it out of my mountaineering kit because of the bulk, the elastic leg loops, and the lack of ice compatibility, it's great at those areas for which it's meant! Highly recommend for sport/trad/rock-focused alpine-climbing.

Loving my new Solution Guide Harness

I replaced my Edelrid Sendero with the Solution Guide, and I've been loving it on every climb so far. You really don't even notice it's there. Tons of room for gear - I purchased it for trad climbing but have found myself just using it for everything as there is no reason not to!

Perfect harness

Bought this harness for its all around capabilities and does not disappoint. It is light weight and packs well, material is strong and abrasion resistant and 5th gear loop is great. My favorite harness so far for trad days.

Good harness overall, but would

Good harness overall, but would have prefered adjustable leg loops. Can be a little tricky to get on over bigger thighs and clothing.

Solution Guide Harness - Mens Large

Great comfort and ease of hanging gear on the four side loops. The rear loop made out of thinner cord doesn't work for me, its too low. I would have preferred just a single high small loop on the waist to haul another rope or gear. I still give this harness 5 out of 5, I would buy it again!
