Description

Ultralight climbing harness for demanding tours on rock and ice.

A light weight matters. This is the concept behind the high-end ACE climbing harness. The 3D-Vent Lite technology enables a minimal weight and small pack size coupled with maximum freedom of movement and outstanding comfort. PES and Dyneema® straps evenly distribute the force across the entire harness width without being bulky. This intricate design is particularly breathable and expels perspiration and body heat. The highly stable mesh on the inside makes the waist belt and leg loops robust and durable. The butterfly shape of the waist belt also helps to optimally distribute loads and ensure excellent hanging and wear comfort. The waist belt and leg loops increase in width the larger they are in size so as to offer the optimum fit and appropriate comfort in all sizes. Thanks to sophisticated technologies, the ACE is extremely comfortable and light, making it the perfect partner for tough sport climbing routes, alpine tours, and ice climbing.

  • Butterfly shape for increased hanging comfort and optimum load distribution
  • The hip belt and leg loops become higher with increasing size
  • Parallel tie-in points on the hip and leg loops with textile abrasion protection made from an HMPE-polyamide blend
  • The rear gear loops on the XS to S versions are slightly smaller

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.
