Petzl Sitta Harness

The Petzl Sitta is an excellent lightweight harness that performs well across all climbing disciplines. While I have some personal preferences that the Sitta doesn’t perfectly align with (primarily in the configuration of the gear loops), those do not detract from the comfort or the overall performance of the harness. But is the Sitta’s comfort, weight, and performance worth an extra $100 when compared to budget harnesses? That’s a question that you’ll need to answer by looking at your personal priorities. For me, $100 buys gas from my house in Bozeman to the Bugaboos. Or two weeks of food in Indian Creek. Or a well-constructed, high-performance, lightweight harness that will stand up to heavy use across a wide range of climbing disciplines. For me, I think the Sitta’s cost is justified since it gives me one harness to use for all my climbing pursuits, and it also happens to be one of the lightest all-round harnesses on the market.
