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. | 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 |

I took this harness out climbing both at the crag and the gym to see how it felt, and it is definitely comfortable. The wide waistband is extremely comfortable, and their V-Flex shape is a game changer. When taking big sport whips or chilling at a hanging belay, I didn’t notice any pinching or tugging in places I wasn’t used to. Unfortunately, this harness hasn’t solved the problem of ‘thigh loops being the right size, but waistbands being too large’ for me. I had plenty of space pull away from my hips at hanging belays and I find myself trying to tighten and retighten the waist strap all day long, only to find it wont cinch down anymore.
Our testers couldn’t say enough good things about the Wild Country Mission Women’s harness. They praised the light weight and comfortable shape. The performance and features for trad climbing, having easy access to lots of gear loops, is a huge plus. And lastly, not to pigeon hole them because they are women, they thought the colors and design looked really good. A quick scan of prices on the internet show it to be about $95 at most places. We found sizing to be spot on with the Wild Country size chart.
