What climbers keep saying · from 5 reviews

Replacing a long-used Chaos, finds the Solution Guide does everything as well for long trad days: comfortable to hang in, carries a big rack, packs small, with a useful fifth gear loop and durable-feeling fabric; the loops stick out less but hold as much.

Wouldn't recommend the Solution Guide: theirs wore out in under two years, which was really disappointing.

negativewears out fast

Their Solution Guide lost a gear loop in under a year, unimpressive for something sold as durable (BD refunded it); the women's small also has really small front gear loops.

Bought the Solution Guide for trad, multi-pitch and ice and it works well, but they ended up loving the Mammut Togir 3 Slide more.

The new Solution Guide is awesome for thicker thighs because the leg loops are now adjustable, unlike older Solution models.

Uses the Solution Guide for sport climbing precisely because it's so comfortable.

Has the Solution Guide harness and has zero complaints racking a trad rack on it.

Uses the Solution Guide and racks a double set of cams, nuts and alpine slings across its front loops.

Used the new Solution Guide this year and has been happy with it, though finds that gear sliding forward on the loops tends to bunch.
