Metolius

Safe Tech Trad Harness

The 3D Rise System is a proprietary design feature from Metolius that ensures the harness fits snugly and comfortably around your body. It uses a unique construction method that conforms to your shape, providing optimal support and comfort, especially during long climbs. This means you can focus on your climbing without being distracted by discomfort.

A Dual Belay Loop consists of two separate loops on the harness that are used for belaying. This redundancy is crucial for safety; if one loop were to fail, the other remains secure, providing an extra layer of protection. This feature is essential for climbers who prioritize safety while managing the rope for their climbing partner.

Gear Loops are essential for organizing your climbing equipment. They allow you to clip in items like carabiners and quickdraws, keeping your gear easily accessible. Efficient organization means you can quickly grab what you need while climbing, enhancing your overall performance and safety.

The Haul Loop is specifically designed for hauling gear or attaching a rope. Located at the back of the harness, it helps lift heavy loads or secure additional equipment while climbing. This feature is particularly useful for multi-pitch climbs where you may need to carry extra gear.

The Claimed Weight of a harness, such as 16.5 oz, is important because lighter gear can significantly reduce fatigue during climbs. Knowing the weight helps you choose a harness that balances comfort and performance, especially for long climbs or hikes to climbing locations. A lighter harness can enhance your overall climbing experience.

The Metolius harness, featuring the 3D Rise System, Dual Belay Loop, and well-placed Gear Loops, is designed to meet the needs of both beginners and experienced climbers. Beginners benefit from the comfort and safety features, while experienced climbers appreciate the efficiency and reliability during challenging climbs. This versatility makes it a great choice for climbers at any skill level.
