    This product is for…

    Alpine climbers, ski mountaineers, and glacier travelers who prioritize low weight and fast transitions. Best suited to those who need to don a harness over crampons or skis without removing them.

    Worth noting…

    Fully opening waist belt and leg loops allow the harness to be stepped into like a diaper, eliminating crampon or ski removal. Notes are uniformly positive with no fit, sizing, or durability caveats mentioned.
