Reviews & Ratings for Petzl Sama Harness — 5 reviews — Page 1

This harness is light and more comfortable than most.

What I really like is the wide and overlapping gear loops .. this is great for leading when you want to load up your harness with pro.

One downside is leg loops do not open or adjust. So not good if your ice climbing and need to don harness with crampons on. However, that is minor for me.

Well-made and good design, but it runs snug/small compared to BD and other brands. I’m hoping the next size up will work for me. The arc-shaped gear loops are nice and narrow, if you use a sling for trad this is perfect. If not, it may be a little cramped for gear.

I have owned this harness in the past and it felt like the leg loops were always too small. I may be wrong but it feels like the legs are bigger than they once were making it much more comfortable. I would buy again.

I bought this harness as a replacement for my old Black Diamond harness. I took a few year hiatus from climbing so my technique and strength are not what they used to be. As I get back into lead climbing my confidence is not what it once was so I have been doing a LOT of hanging on harder routes and have taken a few small falls (3-4 feet) as well. This is a fantastic harness. It is light, can hold a good amount of gear comfortably, comfortable to belay in, comfortable to hang in and didn't hurt to fall in. I really like that the leg loops are self adjusting so there is less things dangling around. The gear loops are also plenty big, I lead an 11 bolt sport climb and was still able to have a few extendables, my ATC, and a bail draw with no problem and it has a haul loop. I have yet to trad climb in this but I am not worried about space. I also appreciate the neutral color; I am not sure why but bright climbing gear kinda annoys me.
