Mountaineering / Ski Harness Review Part 3: Petzl Altitude

As with all ski/mountaineering harness the Petzl Altitude can be put it on (and taken off) while wearing skis or crampons.  The Altitude accomplishes this in a similar fashion to other such ski/mountaineering harnesses where the leg loops have plastic buckles to hold them in place and the waist strap is fed through the belay loop before going through a buckle.  To secure the waist belt in place the nylon strap is fed through a large buckle, hard to feed while wearing gloves but simple and effective.  The nylon waist strap does not have any wear protection which may limit the lifespan of the harness.
