Has used their BD Momentum since starting to climb and really likes it, though it's starting to wear out and they want more gear-loop space for trad.

Owns the Momentum harness and finds it very comfortable.
With thick thighs, the Momentum's leg loops fold down and leave them sitting on webbing, which is brutal when hanging a lot.
Their Momentum was a struggle with a smaller waist but large hips and thighs: hard to get over the hips and still loose at the waist when fully cinched.
Wears the Momentum in large and it fits well, but they found it uncomfortable for long takes and sitting.
Has the Momentum harness and finds it great if you have proportionally narrow legs for your build; the leg loops have a little give but not a lot.
With thighs nearly the size of their waist, found the Momentum's leg-loop padding, which ends abruptly in webbing, pinches the inner thigh.
Wore the Momentum before pregnancy and always felt the distance between leg loops and waist wasn't enough for their body.
Finds the BD Momentum harness really uncomfortable; the leg loops cut in too much.
Had to send their BD Momentum harness back twice within 6 months because the plastic leg-loop buckle broke.
Both leg-loop buckles on their BD Momentum harness broke; Black Diamond refunded them.
Has had a BD Momentum harness for a couple of years and its plastic leg buckles have never broken, unlike a newer one.
The leg-loop buckle on their BD Momentum harness broke after only a month and a half.
Got a BD Momentum for under $40 and uses it as their gym and sport harness; good enough for that.
At 5'2" and 230 lb carrying weight in the belly, they wear a men's XL BD Momentum and have never had a problem in it.
Found the Black Diamond Momentum in XL pretty roomy and wears it fairly high.
Used a men's Black Diamond Momentum in XL when they first started climbing as a fat climber.
Currently uses a Black Diamond Momentum harness and finds it really comfortable.
Used the Momentum harness for 18 months without problems, but after losing weight it now puts painful pressure on the inner-thigh crease when hanging, even with tightened leg loops.
Got hip inflammation from long project belays of a partner 25 kg heavier while wearing the Momentum harness and switched to a different harness.
