REVIEW: Mammut Togir 3 Slide Harness

The Togir 3 Slide is a decent all-rounder, fully adjustable for four season use and equally suited to summer cragging and ice climbing. Well-made and reasonably priced, it is all the harness that a jack-of-all-trades would need. On the plus side it is very compact in the bag, and has a minimalist low-profile feel when in use. The plastic guard on the tie-in point is an excellent addition too, if only for peace of mind. On the other hand its lack of padding becomes a disadvantage when you're hanging around, and yet despite this scanty cushioning the weight is only middle-of-the-road, not notably light. For trad climbers, slightly bigger gear loops would be an advantage. The attachment hook for the rear elastic is a real fiddle too. Quibbles aside, I've been getting on well with the Togir 3 Slide, and I'm sure to keep using it regularly - perhaps especially in winter, when minimal padding is no disadvantage.
