Petzl Altitude Harness

The stats and features are impressive, but it is actually the way such a light harness can offer such incredible comfort and superb performance that makes the Altitiude stand out.  The ultra thin unpadded Dyneema waist belt and leg loops look like they would be uncomfortable, but infact they are great.  The Dyneema is also stiff enough to keep its shape and they are broad enough to spread the load.  The thin tape also means the harness sits unnoticeably under a rucksack.  The low absorbent fabric also ensures the harness absorbs minimal water which is perfect in winter conditions, it is easy to get on or off when wearing crampons and it packs up (storage bag supplied) really small. It has everything really!
