Perfect for sport climbing and ultralight alpine ascents, the Arc'teryx S220 LT climbing harness is incredibly lightweight and supple, allowing you maximum mobility while reaching for holds.

Warp Strength® Technology (WST) allows the harness to be shaped and contoured to the climber's body for excellent support and comfort
WST eliminates the need for excessive padding by uniformly spreading the load across the entire harness
Conical leg loops with breathable Vapor Mesh fabric ensure comfort while hanging in the harness
Self-locking 7075 T6 aluminum buckle at the waist provides an extra margin of safety by allowing adjustments while maintaining the proper double-back configuration
2 webbing loops sewn directly to harness are sheathed by injection-molded polyurethane gear loops
Shaped for forward racking, polyurethane gear loops are reversible and removable; loops remain flexible in extreme cold
Core of tie-in points and belay loop feature Wear Safety Markers; when the sheath is worn, bright orange will show to indicate that abrasion to structural webbing may occur
Exterior stretch-woven fabric is lightweight and highly abrasion resistant; spacermesh on inner face is soft and breathable
The Arc'teryx S220 LT climbing harness comes with a stretchy mesh storage bag

Comments about Arc'teryx S220 LT Climbing Harness:

I use this harness exclusively for gym climbing, and it is fits my needs perfectly in this respect. I commute by metro and bus, so since I am lugging so much stuff around on a daily basis, the fact that this compacts down to such a tiny package makes things so much easier. Climbing in it is a dream, it feels like I'm not wearing a harness at all; but at the same time, it feels durable, and it's decently comfortable to fall in. Icing on the cake: great vibrant colors.

That being said, the idea of climbing outdoors in this harness is enough to make me cringe. Yes, it is lightweight and barely-there, but the thought of cleaning anchors in this harness makes me want to die. It's fine for short hangs and gym falls, but I wouldn't want to take a whipper or hang for too long in this harness. Technically, the two gear loops would be enough to hold gear for outdoor sport climbing, but I'd be reluctant to hang more than 10 draws on this thing. There simply isn't enough material there to make the load comfortable.

Arc'teryx S220 LT Climbing Harness

The Arc'teryx S220 LT climbing harness is incredibly lightweight and easy to use. I am a beginner climber and I looked at many different harness'. I have a lot of Arc'teryx clothing & gear so I included them in my research.

What I like a about the ArcT S220 LT harness was that it is lightweight, the no buckle leg loops, durability, no frills accessory items, and quality. It is a simple harness that meets most of my needs at this time. I climb primarily in the gym and will soon moving outdoors. The Arc'teryx S220 LT climbing harness has exceeded my expectations and I would recommend to climbers looking for gym harness or lightweight alternatives.

Off course with Arc'teryx products you pay a premium, but I am a firm believer you get what you pay for. The only reason for 4 stars is because the lack of a "chalk" bag loop. I also have a Arc'teryx C80 chalk bag and i has a belt which i like to use when bouldering.

I am 5'7, 32 inch waist, 165lbs and purchased a Medium. The harness appears to fit true to size.

Comments about Arc'teryx S220 LT Climbing Harness:

Amazing Harness, takes about 2 or 3 falls to break in but once it does its super comfortable. I actually like the gear loops as they come I feel it distributes my weight closer to the wall on balancy climbs. Ive put 18+ draws on this harness and its still comfortable ( my BD harness would dig into my hips). It breathes super well, the only thing this is missing is a haul loop which can sometimes be useful but c'mon this harness is the Ferrari of sport climbing harnesses its all about the redpoint!

Comments about Arc'teryx S220 LT Climbing Harness:

DO NOT dismiss this harness after your first try. This harness requires a good 4 days of climbing before it molds elegantly with your body. It works amazingly well for a super light gym/one pitch climb harness. The only downside to this harness would be the lack of a rear mini gear loop to clip your chalk bag. The simple solution is to use a chalk belt.

Comments about Arc'teryx S220 LT Climbing Harness:

I tried this harness on at the store and was amazed by how small it folds down (about two tube socks rolled up). The innovation in the design and materials used were up to the Arcteryx standard.I put it on, it was light and non bulky. I noticed quickly that the gear loops are towards the front as opposed on the side. Not a fan of how the gear will dangle on my leg as I climb.I clipped into at carabiner and rope that was hung from the ceiling... NOOO BUENO. This harness gently cut into my back and the bottom of my rib cage. Even when I pushed the harness down a little, it was still very uncomfortable.It's only [$] and if you do very short climbs and are not hanging and resting your arms or belaying someone who is, this harness is "good" but not great.
