Black Diamond Diva Harness - Women's

 Brand : Black Diamond
Item : BLD0886
The Black Diamond Diva is a shaved-to-the-bare-bones women's harness for ladies who're tugging hard on their latest sport route. Ounces count during the last few moves to the anchor. That's why Black Diamond used a mixture of nylon and closed-cell foam to drop the Diva's weight to 10.6oz. Two gear loops hold just enough draws to get you up a rope stretcher at Maple, and quick-clip carabiner loops allow fast access to your draws in really desperate moments.

Black Diamond Diva Harness - Women's



Two Thumbs up.... super comfy, functional harness!
I bought the Diva to replace my old cragging harness but it is so light and comfortable that I think it will be my new alpine harness as well. At just 10 1/2oz, you'll be hard pressed to find a lighter harness. Even the stripped down, no padding, very utilitarian Alpine Bod is heavier. With the Diva you won't have to give up comfort however thanks to the padded waist and leg loops. The leg loops are not adjustable but have elastic so they should work with a range of sizes. My only complaint about this harness is that the leg loops don't drop when nature calls but to be honest I very rarely used that feature on my old harness anyway. I found the gear loops to be a little small but they are textured which is nice as it keeps your gear from bunching up on the loops. (That being said, I think I will cut them off anyway as they would be quite uncomfortable with a pack on so I think I'm just going to McGyver up some webbing loops so I can use it for alpine climbing and glacier travel too.) I've read in other reviews that it fits small but I didn't find that to be the case. Best to try it on before you buy it anyway though. Time will tell if this ultralight construction can hold up but it is reasonably priced and it's probably a good idea to replace your harness fairly regularly anyway.


Diva Harness Women's? Why not for men...
Bought that one simply because it was that cheap and I did not see any reason why it should not fit a normal sized man. I already have 2 harnesses. 1 Salewa (old) and a pretty new Black Diamond Blizzard for mixed and ice routes. So I decided to use it as a replacement for my older Salewa. And it is perfect. Freedom of movement in all directions. You hardly recognize that you're actually wearing it. Size I'd say is according to the BD size table and I chose a 10 according to my measurements, which turned out to be perfect. I wanted to give the harness 4 points because of missing Ice Clipper sleeves, but what the heck, that's not what it is intended for. But I do love that Ice Clipper system for any gear besides quickdraws. So if you also have a lot of gear on your harness, then try one that can actually hold some Ice Clippers. Truly great. Aside of that really good gear from BD, as usual!


Small size, light padding, but very lightweight
This harness definitely runs small--I'm a size 8 and I needed to get the 10. Another thing to keep in mind is that the thigh straps are not adjustable, so if you have very skinny or very large thighs, you won't be able to control the fit. This harness is very lightweight, and sometimes it feels like it could have done with a little more padding, but I can't complain when schlepping it into the backcountry.


Sizing is SMALL
Hi Ladies! I just got this harness is the mail today... so I can't really tell you how it works, but I can tell you to order a size or two bigger. I am a pretty universal size 8- you know, occasionally a 6, occasionally a 10... and the size 8, well, I barely sneak into it. I am returning it to get a bigger size- thought I would save you the time! Cheers & Happy Climbing!
