Buoux
Description
Buoux is a light and fully adjustable climbing harness from the Polish brand Lhotse . “Quick” buckles on the hip belt, as well as on the thigh loops, enable the harness to be easily adapted to the user's physical conditions.
The Lhotse Buoux model is the result of a search for a solution that is a compromise between weight and comfort of use. Buoux is a light and fully adjustable harness, ideally suited for climbing on multi-pitch routes , as well as for sports climbing . It is also a harness that will be perfect for people who are just starting their adventure with climbing . The Lhotse Buoux features 4 adjustment points with the use of "quick buckles", which allows for its efficient and comfortable adjustment to the user's physical conditions. All the above arguments make the Buoux the most universal model in the Lhotse offer so far.
Ergonomic shape, the use of a wider connector and the best quality materials guarantee the highest level of safety. The polyamide used in the production of the harness additionally strengthens the connection of the belt with the connector, which significantly affects the durability of the harness.
Light and fully adjustable climbing harness is equipped with 4 rigid and durable bottom loops. For the production of the Buoux model, a special laminate of material resistant to weather conditions and material made of antibacterial lining was used, which improves the breathability of the harness adjacent to the body.

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 |

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.
