Lovely and comfortable as well as easy to adjust and sturdy enough to give peace of mind. I'm fairly new to climbing and found the decision for a harness overwhelming but Petzl's reputation swung me to pick their harnesses to choose from. I have wider hips and a small waist and have found the harness fits great, I can easily go between full length to pull on and smallest length to wear. I feel safe and have no problems with my harness digging in now. I have a PEG feeding tube and the padding from the waistband over this has given me reassurance that I'm not going to damage it. Perfect for my needs!

I used to borrow one of the aqua coloured Luna harnesses from my indoor centre and when buying this purple luna online as a first harness i hoped the fit would be the same. It was mostly... except the space between the front of the leg loops and belay loop have been decreased. If you compare the two you will see what I mean. I feel like I needed that space as now the waist loop is always being pulled down and my leg loops always being pulled up, when sitting in the harness or belaying ive found myself very occasionally being pinched in places where i really dont want to be because of this. I've also noticed that if the pressure is relieved in either direction I can comfortably do the harness loops up more meaning I would be more secure.
That aside, I do like the harness, it's well padded and comfortable although I would definitely be going back to the original aqua colour with a larger gap between the front of the leg loops and waist loop to suit my body shape better. Why they changed the colour and and leg loops but called it the same thing is beyond me... may be they should have a warning for that, may be I should just pay more attention when online shopping.
