Superb ventilation
I climb sport (in & outdoor) and trad and chose this harness (out of 105, elimination style) of 4 main reasons:
(1) The hip belt moves freely so that it fits perfectly when just wearing a t-short as well as on top of 4 layers of clothes (requirement)
(2) The ventilation in the padding allows moisture to escape when working on long routes (requirement).
(3) The weight of this harness is the lowest of the alternatives that performed similar.
(4) The price of the this harness was 40% of the alternative, when weight had been compared.

After buying it, I discovered that it doesn't compress as well as thinner harnesses. It's not bulky, it's just that the padding is a bit stiffer than others. So on a day I went trad climbing in Tenerife, I found myself short of space in the 20L pack, and therefore chose to put the harness on for the approach. This made me discover how comfortable the harness was to walk with, so the first thing I do now - when I leave the car - is to put it on.
Note I don't put quick-draws or trad gear on the harness for the approach as the noise of the gear would drive me nuts. I leave that in the back pack.

Good but a few design flaws
This harness is really comfortble to belay or climb in. It is not good for trad as the gear loops being at the top of the waist band causes it to peel outwards.
The sizing is generous, I have the XS-M and generally wear an S. This barely goes small enough for me. Do not buy if you are at all skinny. The adjustability is excellent though.
