Climbing Harnesses
know of a rock climbing harness for a heavier person?
My husband loves to rock clmib but has put on some extra weight over the last couple years. He is actually quite muscular but has put on some fat over it! Anyway, he would really love to start rock climbing again but we cannot find a harness that will fit him. Do you know of any larger harness that would fit a person with 33 in legs and a 40 in. waist? Thanks.
I was wrong on the waist size. He has a 42 in waist, not a 40.
The Black Diamond product sheet shows that(http://www.bdel.com/pdf/s07_rock_export.pdf) the "speed" versions of their harnesses (Momentum, Focus, etc) size L - XXL fits 30-42” (76-107 cm) waist and 21-27” (53-69 cm) legs - that may fit.
Look at this dealer if you can't find one locally:
http://www.mountaingear.com/pages/product/product.asp/imanf/Black+Diamond/idesc/Focus+Speed+Climbing+Harness/Store/MG/item/203338/N/0
I have a Focus Speed and it has a huge range of adjustment and is much more comfortable than a wrap / diaper style harness because it has seperate leg loops and won''t squeeze you when you hang in it. This is the best kind of harness for gym or sport climbing.
Good Luck

Yeah, it’s the weight of the parachute and harness plus the added bulk that would be the most problematic. Some cowtails and carabiners are light and dont take up much space.
