Description

Exceptionally comfortable harness leveraging vanguard Warp Strength Technology™.

We are driven by the need to keep progressing. Fueled by human input, and designed by women who climb, our latest-generation women’s harness, the C-Quence, uses vanguard Contoured Warp Strength Technology™ to take performance, safety and comfort to new levels without sacrificing mobility, durability and light weight. Fine-tuned to fit women, the C-Quence’s redesigned swami contours to hug the body while new leg loop geometries and a longer rise provide greater hanging comfort.

Gear Loops

Number of Gear Loops

Gear loops are used to hold gear (quickdraws, cams, etc) onto your harness. 4 gear loops is most common.

0 - 1 Gear Loops

Most often on full body harnesses or guide/gym style harnesses.

2-3 Gear Loops

Mostly found on lighter harnesses made for [ski] mountaineering or high-end sport climbing where weight is a high priority.

4 - 5 Gear Loops

The standard/most common number for climbing harnesses. Perfect for sport and trad.

More Than 6 Gear Loops

Designed for long multi-pitch and big wall climbing, found on harnesses made to hold the maximum amount of gear.

Worth Considering

Occasionally, 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.”

5 Gear loops
Ice Clip Slots

Ice Clip Slot

Ice 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.

Haul Loop

Haul Loop

Trad 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.

Gear Junkie Review no rating given just a review

At first, I was skeptical of this harness design, but it has worked surprisingly well. Whether I was belaying, hanging, or falling, the C-Quence handled the load comfortably. I never felt areas of higher pressure, and the tapered swami never cut into my torso, even during extreme contortions.
