Thanks for the video, decided I should finally get a new harness after about 8 years and went for this one. Cant wait to have more than 4 gear loops on multipitch trad!
I'm mostly the "buy it once" type of person, so I went for this harness when getting back into rock climbing and I really like it. It's not perfect for everything, but it's great at most things. Sure, I could have gone for something more comfortable since I'm usually in the gym and it's not the most comfortable to hang in, but I feel like it makes me less likely to hangdog and bore my belayer to death. I'll also be able to use this in the alpine (eventually) which I wouldn't really want to do with an Adjama or something heavier and more bulky like that. Also I sweat A LOT in the gym, so having something a little thinner that doesn't act like a sponge and take forever to dry is a plus.
One thing to consider: Both, the Hirundos and Aquila are incompatible with carabiners that can (and thus will) catch on their nose. If you switched to/ own clean nose carabiners already there is no issue with that harness. Otherwise consider additional costs! ❤
Love this harness. Just wish they’d made the belay loop black and the gear loops any other colour than that horrible mottled grey effect. Aesthetic grumbles - admittedly but still.

Got that harness half a year back or something. Can confirm, great harness. Huge fan and also was kind of the most comfortable one!

Thank you for the review. These harnes look pretty promising.
Thanks for this review. I have been looking for a newer harnesses and was looking at the Aquila. Your review help make my decision.👍

Hey! Does Petzl say that or have you tested this?
Wouldn't that kinda be the case with any harness? What do other harnesses do that make them "compatible" with non-shrouded biners?
Petzl doesn’t make carabiners with hooked noses they are all key lock style so the catching isn’t a problem with the carabiners they produce

Get it, it's good.
