Climbing harnesses, mountaineering and ski touring harnesses, alongside chest harnesses, full body harnesses, work harnesses and accessories. There are men's, women's and children's models for the climbing gym, the crag and the mountains.
Adjustable or fixed leg loops. Buckles on adjustable leg loops accommodate different builds and clothing; fixed versions are lighter and designed mainly for crag climbing. Full body harnesses combine leg loops, a waist belt and shoulder straps, and are available mainly in children's versions.
Women and children. Women's models make up a substantial share of the range; children can choose from sit harnesses and full body harnesses. There are dedicated harnesses for mountaineering and ski touring, canyoning and caving.
How to choose. Start with the activity, then consider the version, whether men's, women's or children's, and the type of leg loops.
