Moe 3R

Rating

Description

The MOE 3R is the first sport climbing harness to be almost exclusively made from recycled materials. With the exception of the Dyneema® central ring and the parallel tie-in points for extra strength and abrasion resistance plus the elasticated leg loop straps and the Slide Block buckle, all components are recycled. To make the recycled material content as high as possible, a special polyester fleece is used as carrier material instead of foam. The butterfly shape of the waist belt optimally distributes loads and enhances hanging comfort. 

  • Easy Glider buckle for easy and secure fitting
  • Outer fabric made from bluesign®-certified materials
  • All textile materials made of polyester are recycled, including the padding
  • Single-origin polyester in all textiles for simple reintegration into the recycling process
  • Four symmetrical gear loops and two attachment options for ice screw clips
  • Central loop with a kernmantle construction

If there are differences in weight (due to multiple sizes or optional accessories) we'll list them here.

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.”

4 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.

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.

Outdoor Prolink Gear Review rating 4.4/5

Overall, I am excited about Edelrid’s new environmentally-friendly climbing harness. It performs as expected while rock climbing and is exceptionally durable even though it is made from recycled materials. In the future, I would like to see a slightly less bulky fit and some adjustable leg straps to customize the fit of the harness for all body types. However, with that all being said, I will definitely keep this harness in my climbing bag!

UK Climbing Gear Review no rating given just a review

So far, besides dirt, there is no visible wear, but I've only been using the Moe 3R for about the last seven weeks, in which time I've done about 20 routes outside in it, and probably a similar number at the climbing wall. I've noted above that the Edelrid Sendero has been one of my favourite ever harnesses, but it has also worn more than any other harness I have used. None of that wear has been in safety critical areas, but more the material they chose for wrapping the waist belt and leg loop padding seemed rather vulnerable to abrasion and a number of holes or rips have been the result. The polyester used for this purpose on the Moe 3R feels a bit tougher - a bit rougher and not as soft, closer to a Cordura type material than the softer fabric on the Sendero, and so far that seems a better choice with no signs of wear. But it's early days, I'll keep an eye on it and update the review at a later point.

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.
