- Offers the perfect balance between low weight, mobility and comfort

- Waistbelt is equipped with a DOUBLEBACK HD buckle in forged aluminum, allowing the webbing to glide smoothly for quick and easy adjustment
- 2 very large, rigid gear loops in front to rack a lot of gear and easily clip and unclip gear
- Each front gear loop has a mobile separator that divides the gear loop to optimize organization, and that can be moved to the back to make a single large gear loop
- 2 semirigid rear gear loops are angled to bring gear to the front, and comfortable when carrying a backpack
- A fifth semirigid gear loop in the back is easy to access and made to attach a tag line, shoes, knife or other accessories
- 2 slots for CARITOOL tool holder; optimized for CARITOOL EVO and compatible with CARITOOL (CARITOOL EVO and CARITOOL not included)
- Enhanced durability
- Reinforced HMPE tie-in points for improved resistance to wear from rope friction

No complaints with the Sitta
1 year ago
Bought the Sitta to save some space in my carry on when traveling. This folds up in its bag to about half the size of my Petzl Sama. Just spent four days with it in the RRG and I don’t have any complaints. Slightly less padded than the Sama but there wasn’t a noticeable difference in comfort after climbing in it for about a month total, and both have been more comfy than my Solution.

Light, comfortable, and fully featured.

Great harness for sport climbing, works well for ice climbing too. It has the right combination of support vs weight to make working a route / longer belays comfortable while still being light enough to remain virtually undetectable while climbing. Lots of room on the gear loops to rack everything you need for any mission. Size up if you're in between sizes, I think it runs a little small.

Great All Around Harness
1 year ago
This harness is so lightweight it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing a harness when I have it on. I spend a lot of time projecting hard sport routes which means a lot of time sitting in the harness. For the light weight the harness is still super comfortable and I don't mind hanging all over a route in it or belaying someone who is hanging a lot as well. The gear loops function well with an additional divider on the loops. It packs down really small in a pack.

Absolutely the Gold Standard of Harnesses
1 year ago
This is one of the two best harnesses on the market, full stop. If you want the lightest yet toughest harness available, you either get this one or the Arc Teryx 395AR; your money = your choice. I am too chubby to fit into this harness; but many of my climbing buddies have this harness and won't consider any other. Its' absolutely the lightest harness you can buy, yet it's tough as nails. You might not notice the divider down the middle of the front gear loops; but it's a clever design that keeps your quickdraws or cams in an orderly configuration.

Lightweight, comfortable, streamlined.

Ultralight and streamlined. My complaints would be that the 5th/rear gear loop is too small to be of much use and the four main gear loops are too narrow in diameter which causes wiregate carabiners to snag when trying to unrack.

love this harness for traveling

comfortable lightweight harness that packs down. perfect for those long approaches or travel climbing pack. however at this price point, not sure if it's worth twice as much as other harnesses.
