Description

Created specifically for sport climbing, the SL-340 delivers security, agility and freedom. Hardwearing Burly™ Double Weave absorbs little to no moisture, dries quickly and is soft against skin. The waistbelt construction is updated with a softer edge that creates less pressure and improves overall comfort. The disciplined design means features are stripped to the essential; at 340g (12 oz), this is lightest and most compact Arc'teryx harness.

Warp Strength Technology™ Advantage: WST™ differs from traditional harness construction in that the load is evenly distributed across the entire width of the harness structure rather than loading a single, narrow strip of webbing in the centre or running edge binding, both of which tend to concentrate the pressure of the harness making them less comfortable. Warp Strength Technology™ cradles the body and the load is universally dispersed from edge to edge. This construction method provides a high degree of support and this new generation of harnesses are more comfortable over time and usage than ever before. The waistbelt and leg loops now include thin reinforcements that help keep the load distributed more evenly across their width and the edges have been softened for a smoother transition. All resulting in a WST™ harnesses that are durable, ultra compact, comfortably supple and light weight.

Technical specs

Weight (g) Weight In grams, the weight, as stated by the manufacturer/brand. If there are differences in weight (due to multiple sizes or optional accessories) we'll list them here. The default weight is the middle-most size, often this is size M.	340 g
Fit	Unisex
Sizes	XS, S, M, L, XL
Gear Loops Number of Gear Loops Gear loops are used to hold gear (quickdraws, cams, etc) onto your harness. 4 gear loops is most common. 0 - 1 Gear Loops Most often on full body harnesses or guide/gym style harnesses. 2-3 Gear Loops Mostly found on lighter harnesses made for [ski] mountaineering or high-end sport climbing where weight is a high priority. 4 - 5 Gear Loops The standard/most common number for climbing harnesses. Perfect for sport and trad. More Than 6 Gear Loops Designed for long multi-pitch and big wall climbing, found on harnesses made to hold the maximum amount of gear. Worth Considering Occasionally, the number of gear loops will change on a harness model depending on the size. There could be 7 gear loops for the med/large but only 5 gear loops for the xsmall/small. In this case we list the highest number for the filters, and then write an explanation on the product page like, “Size S/XS can only fit 5 gear loops.”	3 Gear loops
Ice Clip Slots Ice Clip Slot Ice clipper slots are made to fit a carabiner that holds ice screws. These slots are generally only used by ice climbers but there is no disadvantage to having them on your harness. Less than 40% of harnesses will have ice clipper slots. And those harnesses will usually have 2 or 4 slots, often located next to, or between, the gear loops.	No, 0
Belay / Tie-In	One Loop
Waist Buckle Type	Quick Adjust
Leg Buckle Type	None (it stretches)
Drop Seat	Yes
Haul Loop Haul Loop Trad climbers often look for a haul loop as they're intended to haul a rope (second line) or pack (while you climb the chimney). A haul loop can also hold shoes or other accessories. Although not the intended use, it is also commonly used to hold a chalk bag.	No
