Syncro
Description
We took the best elements of the old Syncro, our fullyfeatured big capacity multi-pitch harness, and then went back to the drawing board. The result is a completely new construction that offers superior versatility, comfort, support and ventilation with maximum gear carrying capacity for long lines and big wall projects – and all at a reasonable weight. Made with a super comfortable padding, and matched with robust, abrasion-resistant Ripstop covering, the Syncro offers a proven combination of durability, flexibility and weight distribution for hanging belays and long days without uncomfortable pressure points. We also give the reinforced lower tie-in point a wear indicator. It has red threads that only become visible after excessive wear and abrasion, to show when it is time to replace the harness. A further important standout feature is the ventilated Air Mesh zone for increased breathability in the lumbar region.
The two beefy slide block buckles on the 25 mm webbing waistbelt and on the 20mm webbing leg loops can be fully opened to make the harness easier to put on when wearing skis or crampons. For each of the four buckles you get elastic strap retainers to prevent loose ends.
The Syncro features a total of six gear loops with two rigid front loops and four softer loops at the back for multiple racking options and uncluttered organisation. The gear loops are also specifically designed for easy gear retrieval and its twin buckles at the waist allow you to keep everything centred, no matter how many layers you’re wearing. And there are two slots for carrying tool or ice screw holders and a decent-sized rear haul loop too.
- Maximum comfort when hanging: well-cushioned, broad waistbelt distributes load over entire surface area
- Engineered for balanced weight distribution and maximum stability, no matter how big your rack
- Ergonomically-shaped, adjustable leg loops and waistbelt remain comfortable while moving
- Dual slide block, aluminium waist buckles allow tie-in point to be centred and equalize gear loops
- Dual slide block, aluminium leg buckles for full adjustment, including over winter layers
- Ventilated Air Mesh zone for increased breathability at the lumbar region

Weight (g)WeightIn 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. | 560 g S/M: 585 g / 20.6 oz |
Fit | Unisex |
Sizes | XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL |
Gear LoopsNumber of Gear LoopsGear loops are used to hold gear (quickdraws, cams, etc) onto your harness. 4 gear loops is most common. 0 - 1 Gear LoopsMost often on full body harnesses or guide/gym style harnesses. 2-3 Gear LoopsMostly found on lighter harnesses made for [ski] mountaineering or high-end sport climbing where weight is a high priority. 4 - 5 Gear LoopsThe standard/most common number for climbing harnesses. 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.” | 6 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. | Yes, 2 |

Haul LoopHaul LoopTrad 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. | Yes (0kN) |
