Climbing Harness for some one who is bigger

Recommended Posts

I am 6'3, 220 pounds and I cannot seem to find a harness that works right. I bought the Alpine BOD harness from REI in XL figuring it would have to fit. I can get the strap to go around my waist and into the buckle but only about an inch makes it through (obviously not safe).

 

Does any body have any recommendations?

Hey guys, not the perfect fit but certainly useable in the 6" 220# range, Petzl HIRUNDOS and ADJAMA. I did a lot of climbing at that weight or more in those same harnesses.

 

I used both in a Large.

 

190# or so now thanks to a crash chemo diet. Which I don't recommend. Have to say my HIRUNDOS does fit better today though. Not enough better to buy a med but close :)
