Performance breakdown
Weight Efficiency
Minimalist construction makes this nearly imperceptible during long, technical ascents.
Freedom of Movement
Slim, flexible profile allows for unrestricted high-stepping and dynamic climbing moves.
Gear Organization
Rigid front loops facilitate quick clipping, though rear loops feel slightly crowded.
Hanging Comfort
Thermoformed foam provides adequate support, but lacks the plushness of big-wall harnesses.
Durability
Reinforced tie-in points withstand significant rope friction over extended seasonal use.
Ease of Adjustment
Streamlined buckles save weight but require more effort to adjust than bulkier models.
