Petzl – Sitta Harness

The gear loops are cleverly designed, with variable stiffness based on positioning. The front two gear loops also have a removable divider, which is useful for racking different types of gear or lengths of quickdraws. I found myself using the divider mostly to rank draws with different sized carabiners. While it does not sound like a huge deal, having something there to prevent large carabiner quickdraws from ‘swallowing’ the smaller ones is a godsend when you desperately want to pull out the right one to clip. There is a small rear haul loop, great for pulling up an extra line when guiding to set up a nearby top rope, or pulling up a static line to be jugged up. The leg loops are elasticized and fit well regardless of layering, and the harness feels just as comfortable in shorts as it does against insulated pants.
