Vision
Description
Built to trim every possible gram for ultralight performance on technical alpine routes, the Vision is the lightest fully functional harness we've ever made. Designed to satisfy the needs of the most discerning ounce-counters, the Black Diamond Vision Harness is a full-featured ultralight harness built for pushing the limits in the high, cold and loose. Clocking in at less than 250 grams, the Vision’s incredibly packable and quick-drying shell-less design is stripped to the core to provide gram-counting alpinists everything essential and nothing superfluous. Four pressure-molded gear loops, a rear fifth loop and four Ice Clipper slots accommodate a full alpine rack, and the speed waistbelt buckle makes for quick, simple and secure on/off.

The Vision has its limitations, though. It certainly shines for casual cragging and can work well for longer routes, depending on how light you're willing to go or if you supplement it with a gear sling and/or backpack. At some point, you'll probably want something a little more substantial. I won't be using this for any big walls, but it's a great option to have for that Grade III 5.9 with a two-hour approach.

A pictoral representation of UIAA-105 and EN-12277 standards for harnesses.
The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.
