Why We Like The Prisma Guide Alpine Harness
We pack along the Prisma Guide Alpine Harness to save weight without skimping on performance during our ski mountaineering pursuits. The ultralight Dyneema frame evenly distributes pressure and allows optimal airflow for a barely there feel that can still take a beating when climbing rock and ice.

Sizing is even remotely correct

The harness is small for the published sizes (based on Edelrid's website because Backcountry doesn't list this model). Although the actual waistband fits the displayed sizes, the gear loops and belay loop only line up at the very smallest end of the size range. I was near the middle of the range, and the belay loop fell two inches of center, along with the leg loops, which makes it seriously uncomfortable.
