Choucas Light Harness - Unisex
$105
The Choucas Light harness is probably the world's lightest harness you can put on with feet on ground and with independant opening leg loops. Weighing a mere 84 g (size S), it is lighter than a smartphone and, once folded, as compact as a headlamp. Still it features what you expect for a ski or alpinism harness, including two gear loops, and our iconic screw keepers on our openable leg loops.
The secret for such lightness? Simplicity: two convenient tying loops instead of an opening metal buckle. An on the leg loops a handy, fast and secure opening system. The result is a harness being both ultralight and comfortable, whether when hanging for an occasional rappel or on the move. Never was an alpine and ski harness so light and convenient, but we struck this challenging balance with the Choucas Light harness.
Can be put on/off with skis/crampons on, feet on ground
Tying loops, with adjustable clip backup
Independant leg loops opening system with secured aluminum buckles
Two gear loops
Two ice screw keepers
Dimensions waist / leg:
S: (70-83cm/45-55cm) / (27.5-32.6'' / 17.7-21.6'')
M: (80-93cm/50-60cm) / (31.5-36.6'' / 19.7-23.6'')
L: (90-103cm/55-65cm) / (35.4-40.5'' / 21.6-25.6'')
Designed in Chamonix Mont-Blanc
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOU?
The Choucas Light fits a bit small for its size. Also, it can be put over the pants or under them (with the tying loops left outside the pants). Please choose your size accordingly. In doubt or if your waist/legs dimensions are in between two sizes, we recommend you to choose the bigger size.
