Testimony

This is a very comfortable harness but also very lightweight. It is great when you have crampons on, and need to saddle up - because you can clip the harness around your body which allows you to avoid stepping through holes and possibly puncturing the webbing. Another perk is that it is very packable. It stuffs down into a very small bag and is easily stored in your pack. The only downside I have noticed, is that it only has two gear loops.

Minimalist Harness
This is truly a minimalist harness designed primarily for glacier travel where you hope to never have to use it. There's no padding and only 2 gear loops. It's a great, lightweight harness for its intended use but make no mistake; if you fall into a crevasse, you won't be very comfortable hanging in it for long.
