What is the Couloir Harness?
The Couloir is a super lightweight, full-featured harness that packs down so small that it could even fit in your jacket pocket. It's designed for gnarly adventures like skiing, winter climbing and general mountaineering, whether tackling a big, technical mountain climb, crevassed ski terrain or a moderate glacier ascent.
What is it made of?
This harness has recently been redesigned to lighten the construction. It now uses breathable, vari-width Dynex monofilament webbing, which is ultralight and air permeable, helping to prevent sweat and moisture from building up around contact points. This webbing is also incredibly durable and can easily withstand bumps and scrapes from rugged rock faces.
What are its features?
A patented, full-strength Infinity Loop provides durability for belaying, eliminating the dreaded loop shift when the belay seam catches. The loop is lightweight and seamless, ensuring complete reliability whilst keeping weight to a minimum.
Thanks to the colour-coded waist and leg loops and the diaper-style design, it's super easy to put the harness on or get it off, even whilst wearing skis or crampons. A speed buckle on the waist adds security and requires minimum faff to fasten, whilst easy-adjust wings allow you to dial in the fit of the harness to keep you feeling safe and secure.
Four Ice Clipper slots and an integrated ice screw slot in each leg loop provide ample storage and keep clinking around to a minimum, spacing out your gear nicely for long approaches and flat glacier travel. There are also two webbing gear loops for securing cordelettes, extra carabiners and other accessories that you want to keep handy.
The entire harness packs down to the size of an orange (impressive, huh?) and can easily be stored in a backpack, kit bag, or even a pocket! Ideal for technical climbers and minimal mountaineers counting every gram of weight.
