Gear LoopsNumber of Gear LoopsGear loops are used to hold gear (quickdraws, cams, etc) onto your harness. 4 gear loops is most common. 
0 - 1 Gear LoopsMost often on full body harnesses or guide/gym style harnesses. 2-3 Gear LoopsMostly found on lighter harnesses made for [ski] mountaineering or high-end sport climbing where weight is a high priority. 4 - 5 Gear LoopsThe standard/most common number for climbing harnesses. Perfect for sport and trad. More Than 6 Gear LoopsDesigned for long multi-pitch and big wall climbing, found on harnesses made to hold the maximum amount of gear. Worth ConsideringOccasionally, 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.” | 4 Gear loops |
Ice Clip SlotsIce Clip SlotIce 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 |

Haul LoopHaul LoopTrad 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. | Yes (0kN) |

The second-lightest harness in our review, the CAMP Air CR weighs in at only 9.5 oz., and is designed for sport climbing and stripped-down alpine and ice climbing—any place where minimalist gear is appropriate. CAMP’s edge-load construction girds 2mm perforated EVA foam with a thin strip of weight-bearing webbing; the foam is lined with soft polyester mesh on the inside and more durable nylon mesh on the outside. An upgrade for 2011 is adjustable leg loops, which is a plus for women and mountaineers, who tend to need more room in the legs. Both waist and leg loops have pre-threaded buckles. The elastic straps connecting the leg loops and waist are very thin, and they aren’t detachable while wearing the harness; you’ll need fingernails of steel or a pen or awl to adjust these straps. Women who wear their harnesses higher on the waist may not be able to dial fit very well due to this harness’ low profile. And though most testers lauded a comfortable fit, one complained the harness was “uncomfortable when hanging due to not much padding” and that it rode up uncomfortably, causing pressure in personal places. Testers’ biggest grievance was the Air CR’s secondary gear loops, which, unlike the front loops, aren’t encased in plastic molding. They were “too short and not stiff enough to clip gear easily,” “catch easily on carabiner notches,” and “sometimes got lost amid a fold in my sweatshirt.” Still, if you’re on a redpoint attempt on the sport proj or trekking up a glacier, this harness is so light it could be just the ticket.
