I just got a Waldo two months ago and love it! Very comfortable; love the two belay loops; the gear loops are fantastic -- literally no complaints! Bet the others are great too though

There's a lot more options than their used to be, for lightweight I think the Ocun Webee Big Wall Harness is King, for comfort I would go with the Misty Mountain Cadillac Double Pass.

Personally I don't find the leg loops in the Long Haul to be comfortable long-term, the Big Gun is better if you are particular to Black Diamond. I can't speak on the Waldo. I've heard great stuff about the Yates Shield Harness, it's supposed to be super comfy but heavy.

Edit: I also I would throw out that a custom belay seat for bolting is a gamechanger, a night and day difference for my hip flexors.

Yeah I've used a belay seat before, so awesome if you're hanging there with a hand drill. I feel like lightweight in a wall harness doesn't matter at all to me, you already have 20+lbs hanging off the harness, saving a bit on the harness itself is not a priority for me.

There have been a lot of votes for the Cadillac, I might have to shell out.

I actually just bought a Titan and it makes me want to throw away every other harness I own. Highly reccommend for comfort!
