I like the PMI Pit Viper Harness. I have one that I use for my Frog. Very comfortable. I also have a ON ROPE Endurance harness that I use for my Rope Walking system.

Though I'm a Petzl fan, I just bought an MTDE Amazonia for less then 50$. Is it me or harnesses are cheaper in Europe?
It's better down here than out there...

You can buy Singing Rock brand harnesses http://www.singingrock.com/article.asp?nArticleID=490&nLanguageID=2 for roughly half the cost of Petzl equivalent harnesses - the "Digger" is very similar to the older design Petzl "Fractio" (a bit bulkier and heavier) and retails for about GBP 31 as opposed to about GBP 62 for the "Fractio".

I don't know if you can get Singing Rock harnesses in the US but its worth a look.

their climbing harnesses are easy to find, but haven't seen any speleo stuff around...those interested may want to contact Liberty Mountain as they import a lot of Singing Rock products.
