What is the Blue Ice Choucas Pro Pure Alpine Harness?
The Blue Ice Choucas Pro Climbing Harness is crafted for climbers who pursue the zenith of minimalism, performance, and technicality. Its streamlined design keeps you fast, efficient, and unburdened, making it perfect for challenging excursions and technical mountaineering.
What is it made of?
The Choucas Pro harness is constructed from a high-tech blend of UHMW polyethene, high tenacity PES, aircraft-grade aluminium and acetal buckles.
High-tenacity polyester is known for its toughness and resistance to stretching, providing added strength to key areas of the harness. By incorporating this material, the Choucas Pro harness maintains its shape and structural integrity even under significant stress.
UHMW polyethene (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is renowned for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and abrasion resistance. It's commonly used in applications where high durability and low friction are crucial, making it an ideal choice for the structural integrity of the harness.
The buckles and hardware of the Choucas Pro harness are crafted from aircraft-grade aluminium, prized for its lightweight yet durable properties. This ensures reliable performance without adding unnecessary bulk to the harness, contributing to its streamlined design and minimalist appeal.
What are its features?
The Choucas Pro harness is packed with great features tailored to enhance your climbing experience.
The breathable mesh waist belt of the Choucas Pro harness is a game-changer for climbers seeking comfort and ventilation during long ascents. It allows optimal airflow around the waist, preventing overheating and moisture buildup. This design ensures climbers stay cooler and drier even during intense climbs or in hot weather conditions, enhancing overall comfort and performance on the mountain.
With four generously sized gear loops and four ice screw slots on the waist belt, this harness offers ample storage for all your essential climbing equipment. Whether you're packing cams, nuts, quickdraws, or ice screws, you'll have easy access to everything you need for a successful ascent.
The waist speed buckle and full-strength "magic ring" belay loop are essential for quick adjustments and secure attachment points, ensuring your safety and efficiency on the mountain. With these features, you can easily fine-tune your fit and trust in the reliability of your harness, even in the most demanding climbing situations.
The Choucas Pro harness also comes with a patented large leg loop opening secured with aluminium buckles. This design allows climbers to put on the harness without removing crampons or skis, making it ideal for high-altitude and technical climbs where every second counts.
Comfort is key when spending long hours on the mountain, and the Choucas Pro harness delivers thanks to adjustable and replaceable rear elastic. This feature ensures a perfect fit for every climber, maintaining comfort and flexibility while you're on the move. Whether tackling steep pitches or navigating tricky terrain, you can trust that your harness will stay comfortable and secure throughout your climb.
This harness is also certified with CE/EN 12277 type C and UIAA. Type C means it meets European safety standards for climbing harnesses, ensuring it's been thoroughly tested and meets safety requirements. The UIAA certification means it's been approved by the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation, showing it's of high quality and reliability.
