Arc'teryx  AR-395a Harness - Men's

This harness is the best on the market full stop. During the pandemic related supply chaos, I tried other models from other manufacturers and they all fell short. Try the flat Arc’teryx waistband and you’ll never go back. The gear loops are perfect for any size rack short of a big wall and the ice clipper sleeves are so easy to use. It even looks great. Premium gear that is 100% worth the cost. Sizing is super easy and true to fit. The leg loops adjust easily to suit everything from Red Rock multipitch to Teton ski-mo.

I’ve had multiple Arc’teryx harnesses, and this is hands down my favorite. It strikes the perfect balance between weight and comfort—ideal for trad climbing, as it carries gear well without feeling bulky. The drop seat feature is important when it comes to bathroom breaks, making things much easier when you’re layered up. I’m pear-shaped, and the XS fits well, though I have the leg loops extended as much as possible. If you’re a petite and curvy climber, I recommend trying the harness on in-store to find the right size.

I got this harness this winter. I bought it for ice climbing but it is so comfortable that I will use it for rock climbing as well. Really nice width for the back and the legs, adjustable, super light. However the second gear loop and the second ice clipper are a bite too far in the back. Hard to reach the gear. I preferred the 6 gear loops on my old Arcteryx harness. Possibility to buy an ice clipper that attached around the harness waistband instead of using the slot made for it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the person that wants to own one harness to do it all from Ice and glaciers to trad and alpine, this is that one harness. What originally drew me in was the ability to fully open the leg loops rather than stepping into them (ya still can) and the fit! I'm a 33" waist and often between sizes but the AR-395A fits me perfectly! The thin "padding" had me wary at first but the whole Warp Strength Technology really works and the harness is amazingly comfortable to hang in! Gear loops work as designed and slid the next piece to the front, I like the size of the haul loop for hanging a jacket and extra gear yet it can be hard to unclip wire gate carabiners from the thin webbing. All in all I love this harness, I don't think I've ever said that about one before either.

I absolutely love this climbing harness! It’s by far the comfiest harness I have owned and sits amazing on the hips. It has adjustable leg straps which makes it accessible to all. The gear loops are super durable and can hold so much gear for long alpine adventures. This is my go to harness for indoor gym days, crag days, or long alpine adventures! This harness is incredibly durable and secure. By far the best one I have ever owned. I cannot recommend this product enough!

AR-395a is by far my favorite harness - I can wear and sit in it all day while out on big multi pitch days, cragging or on weeknights at the rock gym. Holds gear very well, do not feel the weight of the gear on hips after long days. Big fan of the adjustable leg loops!

I've been using this harness for a couple years after hubby offered it to me as a gift. What a difference from other harnesses especially in terms on how comfortable it is! I used to feel pinched in the back leg loops and would avoid at all costs having to hang but this one has a wider band and is better fitted - same with the back support band! - so I can relax, get a take and a breather if needed and try climbing harder again. The only kind of "downside" is that for ice climbing, I find the ice screw racking clip quite far back. Of course I need the front space for ice screws and quickdraws, so I'm not sure how that could be made better..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This harness is phenomenal. Not only is it well made, it’s comfortable, light, and adjustable! I have larger quads and finding a harness that fits both my waist and my quads is challenging. This one ticks all the boxes. So grateful!

I have used this harness for a while now and I really love it. The material used makes it incredibly comfortable to climb in and the gear loops are durable and have plenty of space for racking gear.

The color is on point and the is easily the comfiest harness I have ever used. It's adjustable for ice climbing and really easy to use for craiging or multi-pitches.
