Description

Ultra-lightweight and technical harness for high-performance climbing and mountaineering.

Extremely lightweight and technical, the WHISPER harness is a breath of fresh air for dedicated mountaineers and climbers. Its innovative construction with MATRYX® Technology fabric is focused on the necessities: it's compact and lightweight without forgoing comfort. With a slim and flexible waistbelt and leg loops, it allows you to move freely. Featuring five gear loops, it provides the capacity to carry all the gear you need for demanding mountain expeditions and rock routes. Its tie-in points and gear loops are designed to provide long-lasting abrasion resistance.

  • Extremely lightweight and compact:
    - 170 g in size M
    - Ultra-compact, it takes up minimal space in a pack
  • Optimal freedom of movement:
    - Exceptionally slim waistbelt and leg loops provide absolute freedom of movement, making it practically unnoticeable when worn
    - Excellent breathability, due to individually coated strands of HMPE and nylon, specific to the high-performance MATRYX® Technology fabric; this process allows the fabric to quickly wick away sweat when the climber is moving
    - Comfortable while resting on the rope or when managing gear at the anchor; MATRYX® Technology construction allows specific areas to be padded for comfort and support
  • Enhanced durability:
    - Highly abrasion-resistant due to the composition of MATRYX® Technology fabric
    - Tie-in points, webbing, and gear loops reinforced with HMPE for greater resistance to abrasion and rubbing
  • Carries and organizes a large quantity of gear:
    - Two very large, rigid gear loops in front for carrying a large amount of gear and to easily clip and unclip carabiners
    - Two rear gear loops don't get it in way of wearing a backpack
    - Flexible rear loop for a tag line or essential accessories
    - Two slots for CARITOOL tool holders: optimized for CARITOOL EVO and compatible with CARITOOL
  • Material(s): High-modulus polyethylene, nylon, polyester, aluminum
  • Comes with a storage pouch made from 100 % recycled polyester fabric

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.
