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.” | 4 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. | No, 0 |
| Belay / Tie-In | One Loop |
| Waist Buckle Type | Quick Adjust |
| Leg Buckle Type | None (it stretches) |
| Drop Seat | Yes |
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. | No (0kN) |

The gear loops consist of two plastic ones at the front, with very thin nylon loops at the back. Clearly the business end, the front pair are designed to move draws to the front as you remove one each time. Works well on vertical ground but the theory falls down on overhanging stuff – still not much of that on sports routes ... But they work as well as any others I've used. The main belt fastener is thin (again) nylon through a fairly traditional (but thin) buckle system, all padded from the climber's waist by The Matrix inspired 3D thingy. And it works ... I wouldn't recommend it for thrashing up grit, granite or gabbro, as it wouldn't last long but for styling it out on limestone (or even the indoor plastic stuff) it's great. It might even help you stay within your Ryanair baggage allowance.
Somethings are better left simple, the Zephir is just that — no bells, no whistles. It is super lightweight, which makes it nice to wear and easy to pack. It weights in at only 250 grams without sacrificing strength and still feeling secure. The low profile design helps it comfortably fit underneath a pack while on the approach or just sitting around waiting for your buddy to quit flailing around so you can send your next project.
