I tried this harness on and was comparing it to the Ophira (no leg slides) and the Black Diamond Primrose, and Petzl Luna harnesses that are very similar.
The Ophira and Ophira 3-slide are nearly identical (same waist band, same padding).
All of them are well padded with almost the same gear loop setup. The features are nearly identical amongst them.
Pros:
The waist sizing of Ophira 3-slide/Ophira goes down lower than the Black Diamond (I wear a small in Black Diamond but have to cinch it fully so it would be too large for most average athletic women) but the small in the Ophira fits really well while having some room to take it in, and it comes in an Extra-small which is quite a lot smaller. The Ophira 3/Ophira small has the same fit as the Petzl small.
Leg loop goes up in size a bit higher than the equivalent-size BD primrose.
The leg padding is similar in all 4 models, but the Ophira 3/Ophira's padding is mostly in the back and inner thigh where the Petzl Luna is too far to the outer-thigh. This is a *lot* more comfortable when hanging.
The buckles are out of the way instead of being between the thighs.
Leg loops adjust to fit a larger leg than the size chart says it does.
No elastic in the leg, so the fit feels more sturdy.
Waist band is padded all the way around, unlike the Petzl Luna which leaves a few inches of exposed webbing at the navel. When your shirt shifts, the padding is softer against skin than webbing.
The waist band fits the flare of hips very well because of the way the closure meets up (more flexible). This spreads out the force better than a belt that doesn't contact your body throughout the whole band. The primrose did not fit the flare of my hips at all.
Cons:
Manufacturer's size chart is a little off. I should wear a medium, but I needed a small.
The Ophira 3-slide's color scheme is dull cement grey.
