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. | No, 0 |

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. | No (0kN) |

This harness is for the person who truly needs something light! Its perfect for going on a summer traverse where you might need to do a few rappels or short glacier travel (winter or summer). By no means is this harness going to work for summer rock climbing or even alpine rock climbing. It does have 4 very small gear loops, but they won’t fit more then your glacier rescue gear and a few slings.
Overall the Lopo Lite proved to be more comfortable and capable than I was expecting. It’s not the harness I’d choose fro a technical mixed route but for ‘dangerous walks’ such as a trip up Mt Blanc via the Three Monts or Gouter route it’s perfect. Durability wise I wouldn’t expect it to fare well compared to something like Edelrid’s own Gambit but for routes such as those mentioned where you’re not abrading it thrutching against rock it should do well enough.
