Certainly, but not sight unseen. As I know good from bad and in those 
parts it's easy for a mechanic to tell good from bad, but the same does 
not hold true for a synthetic harness. That material can look good and 
not meet safety specs. Actually it can look good and fail.

My harness, plus fall arrest gear cost a lot more than $100. <:-))
Now, I'm pretty much out of climbing except for up to about 50 or 60 
feet with full gear. Then my legs pay for it the next day.
Besides, when I purchased the equipment I was a tad smaller than I am 
now so there are few it'd fit although I'd say I'm probably weigh quire 
a bit less than average. When I'm gone The climbing gar is supposed to 
get "disposed".
