Advantages: Very Comfortable Disadvantages: Non-Adjustable harness may feel different to a normal harness
I brought this harness after looking at a number of different harnesses both online and offline, mainly becuase of the price.
The Ziplock's buckle means that you no longer have to double buckle, which makes putting on the harness easier. I found that these buckles were also eaiser to tighten and loosen, and fitted a good range of sizes.
The elasticated leg loops can be slightly unnerving, as you cannot tighten them yourself, however I felt that they we're still secure and made for a more comfortable climb, especially when wearing the harness for a long time. The Adjustable version of the Matrix harness includes a leg loop buckle for those who would prefer one.
I found plenty of gear space was available, and these are very comfortable harnesses. I felt secure and have no problems wearing these for long periods of time.

Advantages: Value for money, simple, effective. Disadvantages: Could be eaten through if dog is a serious chewer.
and shiny like so many of the Pets At Homes products but just standard looking. It is fairly durable, unless your dog constantly chews this is shouldn't snap or break.
It is light weight and also perfect for use in the car, the harness sits around the dogs body, the dog steps in to it, like a pair of trousers there are two legs holes.
Once the dog has stood in it, you can pull it up their legs and use the clip at the top which is a similar to a buggy or car seat clip, I apologise, I don' know what they are called. This clip once secure locks the harness in place around the dog, there is above the clip two semi circle, silver, metal rings where you attach the lead (or car seat belt).
The harness is adjustable, and has a strap across the chest as well as the ones that fit around the legs. It is quite sturdy on. With the lead coming off ...
Advantages: comfortable, flexible and light Disadvantages: twists easily
I have used the Corax for years now. it was my first harness and there has never been a need to replace it. a testament to its durability.
in terms of comfort the corax is well designed. cushioned on the inside of the waist and leg loops to allow the climber to sit back in the harness for longer periods of time than cheaper harness that lack the padding. this is a great advantage when climbing longer routes, after a few hours on the rock you can easily forget that you're wearing it. further more, the padding is very flexible so it does not hinder movement on the rock. if it couldn't get more comfortable, the padding is designed to be breathable, stop those sweat patches building up on those summer days on the crags! even better, despite the extra padding the weight is still low (510g).
the harness is completely adjustable ...
