A harness conceived by women, designed by women, and built for women. The Supernova started as a conceptual lightweight harness for high-end sport climbing, but proved so comfortable it became the ideal all-arounder. Modified edge-load construction offers the best support-to-weight ratio, especially over time where the unique construction prevents the kind of cupping and contorting typical of other edge-load harnesses. The thin padding, profiled cut, and modified rise eliminate the pressure points commonly noticed by women while the strong materials and construction truly make the Supernova ready for any kind of climbing; from high-end sport climbing to big, bad trad. Pre-Threaded Buckles on the waist and legs. Patented Flat-Link elastic straps with drop seat. Hub racking biner compatible.

Super comfy - fine for top rope but nightmare for lead!
This harness is super super comfy, if you're a larger thighed and bottomed lady as myself - this harness is perfect. Doesn't cut into you, easy to adjust and get on and off. Easy to tie into. You can wear it all day and not notice.HOWEVER - if you're planning on using it for trad or lead climbing, the loops that hold your gear are AWFUL - they sit flush to you, rather than the usual design that pokes out slightly. Which makes reaching for quickdraws a pretty flappy experience. Also - for me at least, - the loops on your right side are located really far back, so you're reaching behind you rather than beside you. Loops on the left side are easier to get to.
