Metolius Safe Tech Trad

You would expect a harness that boasts every possible clip-in point being as strong as the belay loop to be as bulky as an adult diaper made out of ballistic nylon, but the Safe Tech Trad harness (an addition to their successful Safe Tech line), is nearly as svelte as the average all-around harness. It’s an airy 16.5 oz., with smaller and easier-to-use buckles at the waist and legs. Other features include a prethreaded, doubled-back waist buckle, double belay loop, and full-strength haul loops and gear loops. It’s an excellent choice for beginning climbers and those who don’t climb often. While it’s strongly recommended to get proper instruction on tying in and belaying, Metolius’ Safer by Design technology helps reduce the danger of mistakes that can be made by anyone, from beginners to fatigued veterans.
