Weight (g)

Weight

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.

Size 2 : 540 g / 19.0 oz

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.

My First Harness

by anonymous on 04/1/2020
Pros
Comfortable
Cons
Heavy
Familiarity
I’ve used it a bunch

Great harness. I got this as my first harness, unfamiliar with climbing at the time. It fit great, sharp looking and had still held up. It's a little on the heavier side when it comes to harnesses so I would shop alternatives (Petzl Sitta) that is something that would impact your decision.

This is my main climbing harnass. It's a good first harnass, however the leg loops never seem to stay in place and slip around on your leg even when tightened. This causes a lot of friction.

Good all around beginners harness

by maxime on 03/29/2020
Pros
Comfortable
caritool lops
Cons
bulky and heavy
Familiarity
I’ve used it a few of times

This harnress can do everything. You can take it ice climbing, thanks to the caritool loops you can clip your ice screws. it is fully adjustable if you wish to add more layers. It is well paded and comfortable to sit in. I particularly like the rigid gear loops in the front. 

There is certainly better options out there if you are willing to spend a little extra money. I don't like how bulky and heavy it is. All the buckles and straps annoys me and i prefer more streamlined and simple desings. 

If you are a beginner, on a tight budget, don't climb ofthem and not sure wich type of climbing you want to do, i'd say go for it. If you get more serious about climbing, you will probably end up buying a better harness down the line. Can make a good spare harness that you can lend to friends to get them into the sport.

Petzl corax was my first harness, i bought it twice. It's perfect to start practicing rockclimbing and it's pretty comfortable. If you should do a long approach or take a lot of stuff with you, it's a little big heavy and you'll feel it on your backpack. Despite that, I think it's great

Outdoor Gear Lab Gear Review rating 4/5

The Petzl Corax is a reasonably comfortable harness that has the ability to serve well for all styles of rock climbing. It is most notable for its incredible adjustability, mostly due to its double buckle design on the waist belt. For this reason, climbers with larger bodies who still want the gear loops and belay loop to stay centered are encouraged to check it out.

If you know of a good product video that should be here, let us know, and we'll put it up.
