- Who it's for
- Alpine climbers who prioritize low weight and want a harness that adjusts cleanly over multiple layers. Notes emphasize multi-layer versatility, so it suits those climbing in variable or cold conditions.
- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the floating belay loop, which lets gear loops stay centered regardless of how many layers are worn underneath. One host notes it feels like it "disappears on your hips," suggesting a minimal, unobtrusive fit.
- Worth noting
- Note 3 is uninformative ("Harness option 1"), so endorsement depth is thin — only two substantive reviews exist, both one-sided positive with no criticism or caveats mentioned.
