I reviewed many other harnesses and settled on this one because of comments regarding best comfort. Yes it fits great with terrific comfort. I'm 5'7 at 170lb and medium size fits like a glove.

Overall these harnesses are great, they're incredibly lightweight and comfortable to a point where it's legitimately easy to forget you've got it on. The only downside is since the seat is so easily detachable there isn't much in the way of seat-to-back support, so if you're not paying attention I could see it being easy to accidentally end up inverting yourself. Not really a safety concern if you're wearing it properly but you're going to look pretty stupid if you do it.

Disclaimer: I'm not a professional. I'm an Amateur Radio operator who likes to buy good equipment. I wanted a harness with a detachable seat. Not having used one before, I wasn't sure how well I'd like it nor if it would work well in all climbing situations. I'm happy to say the harness fits well and I love the seat. I bought a variety of positioning lanyards for the various things I need to climb. Very happy with the purchase

This harness is wonderful. If you want a harness designed for safety and comfort to get the job done while at the same time being affordable, this is the harness for you. First and foremost, lets talk safety. There are many safety features built into its design. From the Tattletale inner webbing to show excessive wear to the Fall Arrest Load Indicators, this harness has protection and safety at its core. What about comfort? In this line of work, comfort is a safety issue. If you are not comfortable for prolonged periods of time, that's where many are tempted to disregard safety protocol or cut corners to save time. Thankfully, comfort is at the heart of this harness as well. The seat is fantastic and the harness cradles the individual evenly. The vertically adjustable chest strap and breathable shoulder/back padding are features also add to the overall ease of the harness. Whats more is the unfortunate fact that these features are not found in all harnesses. The bottom line is that this harness will help you get the job done as comfortable as possible as well as allow you and/or your crew to get home safe, all for an amazingly affordable price. If that sounds like the harness you want, I highly recommend purchasing yours today.

Very good harness. I use this and a Petzl rope access harness and this one is by far more comfortable to use. Hooks and straps remain tight without frequent resetting and re-fitting. Very satisfied and GME makes it that much easier

I have tried a few harness from elk river. The Peregrine is the best (lighter weight). This harness does have an extra shock absorber in the back which causes it to be heavier and hotter. The seat is not fully adjustable as I have seen with other harnesses. So I would say it is a good comfortable harness.

This harness is not the most comfortable harness I have climbed with. the saddle aluminum plate is not heavy enough to hang in all day. after hanging for 6 hours on and off I had bent the saddle plate in my harness and was pinching me across my hips. I weigh in at 200lbs so i would hate to see what would happen to someone closer to the weight limit of 310lbs would do to the saddle plate.

Elk river has finally designed a harness that I don't mind working in! THE PROS: The Platinum Ras is very lightweight, streamline, and comfortable. The seat is well fitted and easily adjustable. Legstraps being the buckle style, don't loosen up and require readjustment. The same goes for the chest D-ring and shoulder straps which are simple to loosen and tighten;simple pull down tightens and lightly lifting up the tab allows the strap to loosen easily to the desired fitting. While some harnesses seem to reduce your flexibility, the Peregrine Ras offers Full flexibility and a snug fit for all. I have a rather short torso so most medium belts don't fit correctly, and the next size down I is always to small. With the broad setup for adjustment I can wear a medium harness that actually fits correctly in every aspect. CONS: I have only one bad thing to say about the peregrine ras. The hip belt isnt designed to run inside the connector piece for the d-rings. Instead, it is required to be ran through the d-rings themselves. This issue it is causing myself is that the waist and hip padding will ride up while working and become uncomfortable. Thank you for taking the time to read this review. I hope it helps you decide whether this will be a good harness for you or not. Stay 100% brothers. WHOOP!

i purchased this harness going on 3 years ago it has thousands of climbs on it well maintained in still like new condition. comfort is above expectations tried dbi sala hated it i have had this belt on 16 ours straight during restore of emergency communications wasn't fatiguing or making lower back and legs uncomfortable the extreme convenience of the easily adjustable chest and leg straps is worth its weight in gold i would recommend this harness to anyone in the industry its light and comfortable and rugged two thumbs up

Best harness I've had yet. It is fairly lightweight for its configuration. It has enough padding to not chafe, but not so much that feels "bulky". The padding and straps breathe to keep from having hot spots. The D-rings are well placed, and the seat works very well when suspended. The only downside is that the waist D-rings do not stay "out", making hooking and unhooking the positioning lanyard a two-handed operation. They need to be rigged like Klein lineman's belts. It has all the features I was looking for. Lots of D-rings, lanyard parks, comfort and reasonable price. Heck, it's pretty, too! Additionally I have found that Elk River is very responsive to resolve any issue the user has with their products.
