A great harness never pinches during hanging belays or on rappel. With my previous harness I would get brusing from the legloops after working routes or taking a big wipper, but no such thing has happened with the targa.

I have had this harness for about four months and I am completely satisfied with it. Although it does not have adjustable leg loops it does have a nylon stretch cord near the crotch. This comes in handy for extra layers of clothes; but what is nicest is that when you fall (I took a 15 footer not to long ago) the cord stretches with you and does not hurt nearly as bad as other harnesses I have used. One point of concern is that I was being lowered not too long ago and as my belayer was bouncing me down the harness was digging into my leg/pelvis connection and I woke up with a bruise the size of a VW bug on my upper inner thigh! It hurt like crazy! I am not sure if it was a problem with the harness or not, just letting all potential buyers know. Buy it though, I think you'll be satisfied.

All around great performer. I've had this harness for about 2 years and climb at least once a week. The comfort is pretty good and the quality and materials are excellent. Even while I have the gear loops loaded down with my lead rack, it stays comfortable. I hardly have any wear on the stitching and stress points. This thing is made to last! It isn't the most comfortable harness to hang in (few are), but overall, I am very satisfied.

Very comfortable harness, fits like a glove with the elastics in the legstraps. It is well designed and finished with the special shape for the buckle and tuck away for the waist strap. I particularly like the large gear loops.

This is a decent harness for the money. It's not very adjustable, so make sure it's fit well the first time!
These things are always a compromise-- comfort vs. weight and bulk, and the Targa does a good job of taking that middle line.

The targa is a great climbing harness and is a good choice for anybody who does occasional climbling, like myself, because of it's good price. The elastic leg straps are very comfortable and never need to be adjusted and the waist band is nice and wide on the back but tapers thinner on the front for comfort. I really like mine and haven't had any problems with it, ever.

The targa is a nice middle of the road harness that is a bit more versatile than some of the super expensive models. The elastic leg loops provide a great variance of fit so you can wear many layers of clothes comfortably.

I've enjoyed the compfort of the targa. I spent a lot of time at the store hanging in many similar priced harnesses and this pinched me the least. The price is right.

Comfortable, well-made, and well-designed. They elastic leg loops work well, and gear loops are well placed. Has a full strength haul loop - a bonus that not all harnesses have. Comfortable to hang in. An excellent harness for sport or trad climbing. Forget the more expensive harnesses - you're paying for nothing.

Rushed my harness purchase a bit. But settled for this one. It fits me pretty well, better than anything else I tried. But above all for my body, it is insanely comfortable. Take the time with your purchase, hang in everything you can, you'll know when you get in the right one. Don't skimp, spend the money for something that is comfortable. It's not worth suffering.
