    Highlights: lightweight

    The Couloir Harness by Black Diamond is a lightweight, technical harness designed for serious alpine adventures. Its compact design and advanced features make it an essential companion for tackling challenging mountain terrains and glacier climbs. 1. Ultralight construction with breathable, low-profile vari-width Dynex monofilament webbing for enhanced durability and comfort. 2. One-speed buckle on the waist for quick adjustments and easy on/off, even while wearing skis or crampons. 3. Diaper-style leg loops that provide a secure fit and facilitate effortless transitions between activities. 4. Patented Infinity Loop for belaying, designed to prevent belay-loop-shift for added safety and reliability. 5. Four Ice Clipper slots and integrated ice screw slots in each leg loop to minimize gear clanking during approaches. 6. Two webbing gear loops for convenient attachment of cordalettes, extra biners, and other essential climbing gear. The Couloir Harness is ideal for technical big mountain skiing, crevassed terrain, and moderate glacier climbs. It excels in high-altitude conditions where weight and packability are crucial, making it perfect for experienced climbers and skiers seeking performance and safety. This harness is particularly suited for alpine expeditions in winter and spring, where versatility and ease of use are paramount.
