Mammut Togir Light Harness: A Compact Compromise
Like other models of similar construction, the Togir Light lends itself to long approaches. It's relatively comfortable to wear while hiking and easily compresses into a pack's last remaining nook. But while I like the Togir, for alpine days I can't bring myself to use it in place of my C.A.M.P. Air harness, a much-overlooked model that is far lighter and less expensive. As an all-around harness with some nice technology on display, the Togir Light is a smart alternative to pricier offerings. But for a dedicated cragging harness or an ultra-light alpine model, it does little to stand above the competition.
Pros: Lightweight; low profile; inexpensive compared to similar models by other brands; nice all-around harness but does not excel at any one discipline.
Cons: Gear loops sit too far back; not as comfortable as similar models for descending; tie-in protector is redundant and can be uncomfortable.
