Wild Country Matrix Ziplock Adjustable Harness

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. the front...

Advantages: Will burn well just about any fuel you can find to use, good at altitude.
Disadvantages: Not as good looking a stove as others in the series! Keep a spares kit.

It can burn just about the full range except nuclear!! Mine even burned pure alcohol, aviation fuel, petrol and more, with minimal adjustments. Lots of small parts though, that do tend to go missing, in the wilds,when you clean it!! So always keep with you the MSR XGK spare parts/maintanance kit to hand for any emergencies!!!! One stove of mine is an original XGK, and the other stove is the better later XGKII improved model. The currently available model is basically the manufacturers up to date XGKII. This is as good as it gets, really!... Read review
