Petzl Altitude Harness
Using what they call "wireframe technology," Petzl has created a feature-rich but impossibly light harness for high-altitude climbing and ski mountaineering. The Altitude is light enough for racing but robust and feature-packed for all your ski mountaineering needs. The harness is very slim and packable yet doesn’t bite into you while hanging. The Petzl Altitude is the new standard for day-to-day skimo.
- Harness is about the size of a small canned energy drink when packed in its bag.
- Designed to allow donning and removal without taking off skis/crampons.
- Buckles are durable and can be operated with gloves on.
- Two gear loops are easy to access with a backpack.
- Siliconized ice-screw keeper on each leg loop keeps the pointy things outside your skin.
Update 2019/20: A new gear loop design makes for one large horizontal loop on each side instead of the previous 2 small vertical loops per side. New leg loop buckle mechansim is slightly larger for easier gloved operation. Black accents give a nice Halloween theme; it's spooky safe!
