Pros: Lightweight comfortable, padded waist and leg loops, large tool capacity.
Cons: no quick release leg loops
The Bottom Line: It's lightweight, comfortable to wear for long periods, and has a large tool capacity. Except for the lack of quick-release leg loops it's a near perfect all-use climbing harness.
I bought this harness as a general harness for indoor sport climbing and to also use for ice climbing/glacier travel. I chose the Adjama because of it's lightweight, comfort, and hardware capacity. It has comfortable padded leg loops and a padded waist belt. The waist belt and leg loops are easily adjustable with the doubled back buckles. The harness keeps its shape well and is easy to put on even after pulling it out of a jammed pack. There is no real central adjustment of leg loop distance from the waist belt except for a central elastic strap on the back that shortens or lengthens the rear leg length.
The Adjama harness has four decent sized gear loops and two Caritool slots for even more carrying capacity. There is also a small centrally located loop of webbing in the rear for attaching a chalk bag.
Due to the small size and lightweight of this harness, it packs well and takes up little space. The Adjama harness also works well for outdoor climbing and even ice climbing. The leg loops and waist belt easily adjust to fit around cold weather clothing. The large tool loops make taking off tools easy even with thick gloves on. The only draw back of the Adjama for outdoor climbing is that there is no quick release built into the leg loops making it a bit more difficult to answer the call of nature.
Overall, the Adjama is a great harness for any climber from beginner indoor climbers to the advanced climber because of its lightweight, comfort, and hardware capacity.
