Description

Ultra-lightweight, performance climbing and mountaineering harness.

For climbers and mountaineers who demand performance! SITTA is lightweight without compromising comfort. It packs down small for easy storage in your pack. A thin and flexible waistband allows for unparalleled freedom of movement whether you’re at the crag or in the mountains. Five gear loops enable you to carry all necessary gear for rock, ice, or mixed climbing. Reinforced tie-in points are designed to provide long-lasting resistance to rope friction, helping you power through season after season.

  • Perfect balance between low weight, mobility, and comfort:
    - Extremely thin and flexible waistbelt and leg loops with WIREFRAME Technology: HMPE (high-modulus polyethylene) strands in the waistbelt and leg loops provide optimal load distribution without the use of foam; it’s so light and comfortable, you’ll forget you have it on
    - Packs down small when stored in its pouch
    - The fixed leg loops and flexible leg loop bridge give you total freedom of movement
    - Waistbelt equipped with a DOUBLEBACK HD buckle in forged aluminum, allowing the webbing to glide smoothly for quick and easy adjustment
  • Carries a large quantity of gear:
    - Two very large, rigid gear loops in front to rack a lot of gear and easily clip and unclip gear; each front gear loop has a mobile separator that divides the gear loop to optimize organization (quickdraws, nuts, or cams) and that can be moved to the back to make a single large gear loop
    - Two semi-rigid rear gear loops are angled to bring gear to the front and comfortable when carrying a backpack
    - A fifth semi-rigid gear loop in the back is easy to access and made to attach a tag line, shoes, knife, or other accessories
    - Two slots for CARITOOL tool holder: optimized for CARITOOL EVO and compatible with CARITOOL
  • Enhanced durability:
    - Reinforced HMPE tie-in points for improved resistance to wear from rope friction
    - Bonded waistbelt and leg loop construction offers optimal wear resistance while maintaining a thin profile
    - Durable, abrasion-resistant exterior fabric
    - Breathable interior fabric is quick-drying and helps manage perspiration
  • Material(s): Nylon, polyester, aluminum, high-modulus polyethylene

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.

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.”

5 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.
