Description

The Ophir Rental was developed in close cooperation with climbing gym operators, making it perfect for use in gyms and for training. Based on the successful Ophir 4 Slide, this is the first time that Mammut’s comfortable two-part webbing design in the hip belt and leg loops is featured in a rental harness. The harness also comes complete with a wide range of safety features: Tie-in section highlighted in color, dogbones on the ends of the webbing to prevent the harness webbing from unthreading from the buckle and high-strength gear loops to ensure maximum safety for this breathable harness for the rental business.

Special two-part webbing construction ensures maximum comfort
A different color for each size
Special safety features prevent incorrect use
Icons show the correct position of the belt
Full safety and easy adjustment through 4 Slide Bloc buckles
2 very strong gear loops

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.

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.”

2 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.

The harness that dies too young

Pros
Mostly durable construction for a gym environment
Overbuilt gear loops
Good adjustability
Cons
Bottom Hardpoint
Familiarity
I’ve used it a ton

Overall, it is a good harness, but has 1 fatal flaw: the bottom hardpoint. Its plastic protector, while a good idea in theory, leads to the premature death of the harness.

What happens is the bottom keeper bit of webbing in the bottom hardpoint gets rubbed on by the plastic protector and eventually wears through and snaps. This plastic bit also occasionally pops off of the webbing which probably exacerbates the issue. The gym I work at has these harnesses and 9 times out of 10, they get retired for this reason. If Mammut could fix this issue, it would be an excellent rental harness.
