First let me say that the picture is a little misleading, the actual product is black (it looks dark grey on the website). I didn't care so much the color, I bought this product for two reasons, I'm fat and the pods are held in by a cross of fabric instead of just an individual strap. This is a more affordable harness that says it fits waists of 42 inches. Now, my pants are a 42, so I assumed this wouldn't fit my gut but it does and it's quite comfortable. The second point, the cross of fabric, this prevents the ends of the pods from pushing through the top (which is quite annoying). The whole harness feels like very quality construction, time will tell though, for now I'm very happy with this harness.
