Mammut Realization Shorts (Harness) Tested & Reviewed

I am aware that the video is pretty long, but for a harness that is $200 I think that it is justified. If you are spending this kind of money on a harness you better get what you want.  For a quick review, I provided pros/cons bullet points below the video.

Sizing: I'm 6' 165lbs and where a medium...it fits perfect
Use: 30+ days sport & gym climbing, two multipitch routes

Pros
+ Comfortable
One of the most comfortable harnesses I have had. Hangdogging is no problem and doesn't ride up.

+ Bomber Short Material
The shorts are a breathable, durable, and stretchy fabric. It is a perfect balance that gives you enough stretch for high feet but won't tear if caught on sharp objects.

+ No smell
Don't know if they had this planned when developing them, but I have not washed these at all and there is absolutely no smell at all.

+ Grab 'n' Go
I love that I can just grab these when I'm
in a rush or climbing after work.

+ Sizing
Fits perfect. Might just be me though.

A little tight.

Cons
- Not enough gear loops
One more gear loop would help keep my gear a little more organized

- Tie-in is a bit small
With slings, rope, and belay (if you rappel) it is a tight squeeze.

- Cinch
Just not a fan of it. Not a deal breaker though.

Recommended Use:
Sport & gym use
Projecting
Take n grab use (like after work)

Overall, I really like this harness. Being $200, it would be tough to justify this purchase without first trying it, but after testing it, I would say that you get what you pay for. It gives you everything that you would want/need in a sport/gym harness that many $150-200 harnesses don't provide.
