I have spent the last few months looking for a harness the is on the lighter side but still really comfortable!! And all my searching stopped here! This harness is great for spending a day at the gym or working on that tough project at the local crag! Bottom line... the aquila is pretty kick butt!!

5 AOmegaIV
[ This harness has a fantastic fit and a quality build. Everything feels solid when straps are manipulated and the padding is just right when in use.

5 Tim R
[ So happy with this harness. Easy to put on, Feels great, light, and keeps your straps out of your way. The belay loop is also slimmer than those super wide belay loops which is nice because it stays out of your way when being belayed. No negatives. A+++

5 Seppa
[ fits well. gear loops are where you expect them. unobtrusive when you 're climbing. haul loop in the back is a bit difficult to access, but I 'm sure I 'd recommend this harness.

5 Cowboy
[ I absolutely love this harness. The quality is amazing and it adjust to fit perfectly no matter what I am waring. I added the new petzl ice clip and it couldn ’ t be a better fit. This harness is amazingly comfortable, I bought it to to do tree work and belay my kids but my new Battman Belt has renewed my sense of adventure so I am planning exciting climbing and repelling adventures for my kids and I. Life is good!

[ The second one I 've bought and it fits great!!!!!!!! I would buy again!!!!!!!!! Great for the gym climbing or sport climbing.!!!!!!! Gear loops are a little small if carrying a double rack and and anchors

5 Bob C.
The sizing was a real guess, but I think the chart provided is pretty accurate. The harness is very comfortable to climb in and sufficiently comfortable to wear all day. The leg straps are a little goofy in my opinion and I struggled to get them in the `` perfect '' position but it worked out alright. As a whole it is a very nice harness, it packs up well and the utility loops on the side are very helpful when setting up the tower.

As a plus sized climber it can be hard to find a padded harness that actually fits where it's supposed to. This harness is comfortable and does the job perfect. 10/10 would buy again

5 Innosanto N.
Enough padding to hang around on for hours projecting hard cruxes, but also lightweight and compact enough to feel unnoticable for hard onsight comp climbs.

5 Shawn W.
Being the base level, this hardness is limited by the adjustability of the legs and waist. But it is still very comfortable and has a high- quality feel!

5 Adam C.
Very nice beginners harness. I recently started top roping and took a class using the rental harness( not sure of brand) and knew I ’ d need something better. I bought the Momentum harness and am thoroughly impressed. The adjustments for the legs are much more comfortable and easy to adjust. Belt buckle is a single strap to tighten with double D- rings so it won ’ t budge while climbing. Fanny adjusters are with a single pull strap from behind. I can hang in this and fall hard without being uncomfortable, pinched or bruised at the end of the session. It ’s a bit of a bulky feeling harness but I believe it just adds to the support/cushion for the user and does not impede climbing. Highly rec this harness for beginners unsure of what to buy. Just make sure to try on the right size as the leg adjusters don ’ t have much adjustment. I ’ m 6 ’ 4 ” waist size 32 and wear a large, fits perfect.

[ This is a simple, easy to use harness. I am 220 5'- 10 and the M/L fits over my ski clothes just fine. It is very comfy while using and seems to be very well made.

5 epwalsh
[ I 've owned one of these for a year and used several times for glacier travel in the Cascades, including a mountaineering course on Mt. Baker during which I was suspended in a crevasse with this harness for 15 to 20 minutes while others were learning how to haul me out. Despite it being so light, it's actually surprisingly comfortable due to the fairly wide, flat leg loops. It's also very easy to get on and off while wearing crampons or skis, which is essential for an alpine harness.

5 Frisky
[ My old harness was embarrassingly old last year on Mount Rainier. Upgraded this year to the Petzl harness. Much, much better. Super light, easy to manipulate( even with frozen fingers), packs down small for the hike in.

4 Skierguy
[ I 've taken this out a few times and it's done the job well. Lightweight and packable. I 'm a smaller guy 5' 8 '', 175 and with insulating layers on the medium is a close fit.

[ I bought this harness a month ago so that I have an extra to take friends climbing who do n't have their own gear. The harness is simple and easy to use but comfortable for an alpine bod. I bought it in a small and the size range is a bit more narrow than I expected but it still works. I made a 6' 1 '' friend squeeze into it. He complained a bit but it got the job done. Overall, a great harness to have around.

5 James B
I bought this harness because I wanted a low weight, compact harness for mountain guiding and glacier travel. It worked perfectly and was super comfortable to wear while traversing the glacier even with my backpack on. Also, in general it is a really comfortable harness to wear for top rope and gym lead. I have n't used it for sport or trad yet, but I 'll update when I have.

5
I originally got this harness for ice climbing as it has 6 different ice tool clipper spots( on both sides, 12 total) of the waist. This allowed me to put my ice tool clippers exactly where I wanted them versus where they have to be on other harnesses. It is very lightweight with functional gear loops. I recently took it alpine climbing and it felt awesome having it on all day, even through the more scrambly areas of the climb. Would highly recommend especially for women that have a bigger chest or hips and need to put ice tool clippers in specific spots in order to see them. I have a Large which works great with winter layers but I could have also fit a medium. I am 5' 6 '' and 170 lbs.

5
Somehow this harness has less padding and is lighter weight than the Ophir slide or the black diamond momentum harness, but is actually more comfortable when sitting in it for a long time. I 'd highly recommend if you have a bit more money to throw in for a harness that you want to be lightweight and still comfy. Fits true to size.

5
Amazin harness which is surprisingly comfortable and does not consume any space in the backpack. I am using it for trad climbing. I climb with 14 cams, 12 slings, and three sets of nuts/tricams. I also carry cordlette, belay device and bunch of lockers. All these can be comfortably clipped to the harness. The front gear loops are bigger and the gear is easy to unclip/clip. I use the front gear loops for cams and draws. The rear loops I use for nuts, lockers and belay devices. The harness has also a small gear loop at the rear in the middle. I use this for the nut tool and sometimes the radio. The harness feels good on my body and I do n't even feel it while climbing. The only little thing I found is the seem in front without any padding pushing against my bones. I did not experience it with my previous harness ocun Ego. Anyway, it is not too annoying and I might get used to it very soon.

5 Jacinto F
This harness is comfortable for a full day in the alpine. I spent 16+ hours wearing this harness scrambling, alpine trad climbing, rappelling, and doing some sketchy snow crossings. While a bit heavier than some of the Petzl options it ’s 100% worth it for the comfort.

[ I bought this to replace a light rock climbing harness I had been using for home maintenance safety( tree and rooftop work). I have already used it for some tree climbing using a Petzl Zigzag combined with knee and foot ascenders and it did the job admirably for its price point( i. e. I 'm sure the SRT Harness would be more comfortable for hanging by a rope all day, for limiting hanging this harness was comfortable and secure enough and at less than half the price). It feels totally secure... no slipping, no binding, and I 'm able to adjust it for a great fit. Typical high- quality Petzl product. Worth every penny.

Super lightweight harness great for ski traverses. The sizing is a bit smaller than expected.

This is a great ultralight harness& super versatile and comfortable( for what it is). Excellent functionality and some of the best racking on this type of harness. Super light and compact too. I prefer this to the Petzl Fly. That said- the sizing is off. I 'm a 32 '' waist and based on Mammut's sizing chart I should be a comfortable medium. In reality I barley squeeze into the medium's hip belt. I have thick legs and the legs are fine though. Overall, I 'd highly recommend this harness, with the caviot that folks should try it on in- store. Hopeful that Mammut can address the sizing issue, but likely plan to size up on this harness. Would be 5 stars, but for the sizing issue.

4 Ian O
I bought this for a very particular application and it is perfect. It is incredibly light and it barely takes up any pack space. It is as comfortable as you can expect from something in this category and has solid attachments for the minimal gear I carry in these situations. Plus, it's awesome to have a sub 2oz harness to toss around for emergency kits.

5 graphisch
I like it. It's lighter and less complicated than my basic harness. My old one, which is now my trunk spare, had leg buckles and two waist buckles. Almost every time I used it, it needed to be untangled. This harness has no leg buckles and one waist. It took me a couple of times to get used to the singular waist, but now it's no problem and almost never tangled. I primarily indoor climb, and almost do n't notice I 'm even wearing it. 5. 10+ is my highest grade climbing and that's not often. Was hoping the harness would push me to a 10. 14+ but alas, I 'm still at my same level. But I look better. I actually chose the Honnold version because his charity got something. Otherwise I would have gotten the regular.

Im not sure why the Honnold addition has any gear loops haha just saying. This harness is comfortable! Continue crushing brothers and sisters and may all your dreams be of rock and ice.

This harness has verry a large waist belt and leg loops, they are also reasonably ridged this gives a verry comfortable hanging feel! The belay loops are interesting I like the lack of barracks my only concern is long term durability of these belay loops other than that, every part of this harness feels bomber and durable. I ca n't stress enough how well the large waist belt and leg loops feel 10/10!

5 Peter T.
So far this is a great harness, bigger and better than the Big Gun. Hanging in it for several hours at a time it ’s more comfortable than the previous BD big wall harness. I like that it does not have double stacked gear loops, making gear access easier. The addition of ice clipper slots is a nice addition, and makes convenient storage for awkward items. The modern speed buckle is a mixed bag for my use, but overall a positive change. I use this for bolt replacement work, and think it ’s great! Lots of hanging with lots of tools and faff, and this harness is a step up from other harnesses I ’ ve used.

5 joseph k.
Bolting and long routes are both way more comfortable with this harness, it ’s beefy and comfy.

5 Harold B.
I absolutely love this!!! Wonderful upgrade to the already great momentum harness I was using before. Able to pass that one down to a buddy to get him into climbing. Thank you black Diamond!

5 Levi S.
Harness is very comfortable especially when hanging from big walls on those long pitches.

[ I love this harness. Bought it so I wouldn ’ t have to keep renting the cheap BD harnesses at the gym. It ’s way more comfortable. Also easy to adjust in seconds if needed. Highly recommended.

5 Hubbabub19
[ I have used this harness about half a dozen times so far and like it more and more each time I use it. The leg loops are comfy for hanging and the waist is padded but light enough that sometimes I forget I am wearing it! Went outdoor climbing with it and it held 14 draws, PAS, quad anchor, and some extra carabiners and did not feel too loaded up. Definitely worth getting, and I wish I had gotten it sooner!

I ’ ve had many harnesses over the last 20 yrs from everything from petzel to grivel and I can say without a doubt this is one great harness, holds its adjustments, he has had zero issues with this. Taking him up mixed climbing and ice climbing come winter and he ’ ll be wearing this, won ’ t be any issue unlike others.

5 Ben_03
Purely based on the adjustability and comfort factor this harness has, it ’s close to the favorite one I own. The only one that beats it is the Solution Guide, because of the 5th gear loop on the back.

5 Aaron M
I got this to upgrade from the Couloir harness and its been great! Comfortable to wear for hours while belaying or climbing. Its pretty light too! Only natural downside is its is not as slim and packable as the Couloir harness, but its not made to. Definitely a 10/10 though!

5 Barrett L
Good fit and good quality. Light weight and no frills. It ’s my go to for both gym and outdoor climbing.

5 GeorgeB
The two buckles on the waistband enable you to center it over wide range of waist sizes and the clothes you have one. This is the 6th harness I have owned and it's going away the most comfortable. You really DO not realize you have it on. I am not good enough to comment on how an expert would find this harness, but from beginner to intermediate, I challenge you to find more bang for your buck!

5 Wisco
I bought this harness about 1 month ago to replace a much bulkier harness that needed to be retired. I use it for instructing, trad leading, and top rope. I love how light it is, and gear loops are great for trad. The waist fit and contour is great, and it stays in place even when weighted down with a bunch of gear. Adjustable leg loops are much appreciated. The only drawback is the waist sizing, but it worked for me. My waist size is near the top end for size small, but too small for the medium( I think). When I make the waist as bit as it goes, it's kind of a tight fit over my butt. My measurements are 29 in waist and 36- 38 hips. To be fair, I often have to get pants tailored. My only concern is getting it on over my butt if I 'm wearing bulky pants or multiple layers, but I 'm sticking with it because I love everything else.

5 Patrick
I found the harness comfortable, durable, and secure. It was rubbed against all sorts of rock and remains fine. So far it's been great for gym climbing and outdoor activities. No complaints here.

5 Japaclimber
I bought 3- 4 weeks ago. Comfortable and reliable. Use this gear all most everyday. So far soo good!

5 Guildmarm
This harness is fantastic. I love it. Easily adjustable, great fit, thin and easy to pack, and it's comfortable despite how thin and slim the form factor is. Whether beginner or more experienced, it's a very nice harness and has a lot of room for expansion when clipping.

5 KSG20002
Bought for use indoor and outdoor climbing and I ca n't say enough good things about this harness. It is lightweight, a true' I forget I 'm wearing it' design of streamlined comfort. The color is nice and not overly common in the gym, which I like. Glad I got the women's version as I find it long enough for my torso that was too short for the unisex harnesses I tried on. I am 5' 9 '', 140lbs with a long hourglass shape and the small fits me very well.

[ I wanted my new harness to have a waist and leg loops that could be opened completely so I can put it on when wearing crampons, skis, or do n't feel like standing on one foot while putting it on. I was pleased that the gear lops and the ice clippers I added are lined up evenly on both sides when the waist is adjusted.( I have a 32 inch waist and got the large harness because the leg loop size matched my leg measurements.) It's light and does n't take up much space in my pack.

[ I bought this harness to replace a worn out Black Diamond, and I am so glad that I did. The adjustment system is very user- friendly, and feels secure. There is no uncomfortable pinching as I send my projects, and I ca n't wait to take this outside to the local crag. Also, I love this color way. Super sharp.

5
This harness gives me the comfort of taking big whips and light on my hips. Used the Ophir Slide 3 for years and just found a new upgrade. The hard draw loops are way nice for single pitch sport outdoors as I do n't have to worry about my draws flying all over the place. The rigid plastic keeps them close to my body allowing for faster clipping even though I 'm not that fast. Well good and love Mammut

5 Glen L
Easy to adjust and wear, comfortable too. Use this several times a week for indoor climbing and also outdoors. Has held up nicely so far.

5 Natalie S
I bought this harness for my move to France. Some of the best climbing gyms in the world are in Paris where I was based. I used it 50+ times over the past year that I lived in Paris. For this harness I would say it ’s a great price point, I felt safe using it, didn ’ t have issues with it rubbing against my skin when I wore shorts, loved the look to it, easy to break in, and got many compliments on it. Used it for top rope throughout Europe. Would highly recommend getting this to anyone looking for a good climbing harness and would get this as a gift for my friends any day.

5 Natalie S
I used this while living in France and was at top rope gyms often. It held up great, didn ’ t have issues with rub from wearing shorts, and has not failed me. Would recommend this product. Takes a few times to break it in but once you do it ’s great. Love the color and design.

5
This is a great harness. Perfect for the gym since it's a single adjustment and easy to put on and take off. I think if I was sitting in it for any amount of time, I 'd prefer a 4 slide, but this is preferred for gym climbing. I have a 30 '' waist and the medium just barely fits, but works perfectly. If you have smaller than a 30 '' waist, I would recommend a small.

5
Easy to use, straight forward buckle, comfortable. Great for gym climbing at a minimum, draw loops are light but stand up well. Should be good for sport as well.

5
This harness is perfect for climbing short to medium pitches but once you have been in it for an extended amount of time it can get a little uncomfortable. I wore it while setting a top rope and was in it for over an hour and it was really comfortable for the time 30 mins but after that it started to be uncomfortable. But to about 90% of potential buyers this harness is perfect and lightweight for sport climbing. Also for figment I 'm a 32 waist and I fit snugly in the small.

Well suited for both hang dogging projects in the gym, very comfortable. Thin enough to pack away into an alpine bag with plenty of features for outdoor climbing.

A purchase for my wife. This was to replace her BD Momentum harness. She really likes it. Initially she was worried the leg straps would be too tight but after wearing them for a top/lead session at our local gym she felt they were simply felt 'snug', and not uncomfortable at all. She was also really pleased at how breathable the harness is. One can get pretty sweaty under the Momentum, but that is not the case with the Airnet. This is an example of when a products name does in fact describe its actual qualities.

5 Tyler M.
This harness is so comfortable and light. Completely unnoticeable while climbing. Really enjoy how it moves. Definitely a sport climbing harness. At 5 ’ 11 ” 165 with a 32 inch waste the large fits great. Gear loops are definitely low profile. I can fit about 14 draws on the first set of rigid gear loops. Back gear loop are definitely a just incase being that they are just webbing. Was more comfortable than I thought while belaying. Wouldn ’ t want to hang in it for extended periods of time but plenty comfortable for hangdoggin up a route. A+ all around.

Some day hopefully, BD will figure out how to make the straps at the back more robust... they are always the first thing that fails.

This harness is extremely comfortable and well- designed. The padding is supportive without being bulky, and it distributes weight evenly, making hanging and belaying feel secure and comfortable. The 3- slide adjustment system makes it super easy to dial in a perfect fit, whether layering for cold weather or climbing in warmer conditions. The gear loops are sturdy and well- placed, offering plenty of room for racking without feeling cluttered. The materials feel high quality and durable, and the overall construction inspires confidence. It stays comfortable even during longer climbing sessions. Overall, this is a top- tier harness that balances comfort, adjustability, and performance. Highly recommend for both indoor and outdoor climbing.

Great harness& love all the adjustable straps. Love the breathable material on the inside of the waist& legs!!! It ’s not as comfortable when coming down( it can dig into the back of your thighs.)

4 moutaingoat333
[ I really like my Metolius Harness and that basically everything on this harness is a hard point. The waist buckle is an update from their old double back buckles( they are still on the leg loops which make adjustment a little tenuous) which is bomber. Contrary to many waist buckles, this one latches down on the nylon strap when it is tightened inhibiting any accidental openings of the waist strap. I think this is an improvement in speed of putting on the harness over the old double back buckles that you had to feed through each for adjustment. The foam padding is concentrated which could make long hanging belays a little uncomfortable.

4 Adamm H
[ I have had this for a couple months. Wearing it is comfortable, and the gear loops work well. I really like having two belay loops too. It is uncomfortable to hang in for long periods of time, and because part of the waist band is not stitched to the tightening strap, it can be a little annoying to get on just right. For trad climbing or multipitching without hanging belays, it's great. It just wo n't replace a sport climbing harness.

5 Nate Chaz
This is my favorite harness that I ’ ve ever owned. The reason why is because it ’s so light and compact, I never question whether or not I want to have a harness with me. I just toss it in the pack, and it disappears. When I need it, I ’ ve got it. I love how it can disappear under the hipbelt of a pack. Something that frequently irritates me with other harnesses while climbing and skiing. The packbelt, and harness are fighting for the same space and the pack ends up losing and riding up on my torso. When I ’ m not wearing a pack with a big belt, this harness has nice, but minimal gear loops that can hold my crevasse rescue, rappel, and other climbing gear( as long as I keep it to a minimum or rack in trees off of my carabiners.) For anyone who is considering purchasing this harness but is concerned that it may be too specialized, I would suggest that it ’s much more versatile than you might initially think. I ’ ve used the Choucas Light for alpine routes, rappels while skiing, ice climbing, summer scrambles that get a little too technical, self- evacuation from chairlifts while ski patrolling, and even glacier travel( which was probably its original intent).

[ I ’ ll be honest. I live in NC and I buy Misty Mountain gear by default because they ’ re local. That being said, when it was time to replace my MM Turbo, I really didn ’ t consider another harness. The Turbo is light and comfortable enough for hanging all over a sport project, and has ample gear loops for long trad days. For me, it ’s a great all around harness. I will say, I don ’ t love the new color scheme, but what do I know about fashion anyway. I know this harness is comfy, functional, lightweight, and it ’ ll catch you if you fall.

[ If you 're looking for a high quality comfortable harness for all around rope climbing, look no further. Misty makes the best harnesses around, and this thing will last you a lifetime.

5 Will
[ I bought this a couple months ago and so far it ’s the most comfortable harness I ’ ve tried. I upgraded from the Petzl Corax and this is far more comfortable, and the build quality is incredible. I ’ ll probably be using Misty Mountain harnesses for good due to the great impression I have of this harness.

[ Very low profile, barely noticable during climbing. Only criticism is that during long periods of hanging( route setting in my case), it got slightly uncomfortable, but it was still bearable.

Light and comfortable

Used for multi pitch and has a added gear loop in the back which is convenient for anchor material. Comfortable for hanging belays, would buy again.

5 Joel W
I bought this harness to be comfortable and have more gear loops then my sport harness has. The gear loops are perfect for leading or following a trad pitch. plenty of room for two full racks as well as anchors/ slings and runners. this harness would be perfect for any level trad climber in my opinion that is looking for a multipitch day of climbing. The legs are even adjustable for wearing shorts on a warm day or some bulkier pants on a cooler day.

5 Peter T
[ I 've used this harness twice now and love it! It is very comfortable. I wear a size 31 pants and the medium fits well. The color scheme is slick and the utility loops are spacious.

Would definitely recommend this harness to anyone that is getting into trad climbing. ... The Cadillac is great, definitely comfy enough for all day climbing and makes the hanging belay while my partner flails on that 5. 8 offwidth so much more

[ Comfortable and light. Great trad harness. Would definitely recommend this harness to anyone that is getting into trad climbing. The extra gear loops are key.

5 Corey
[ Super happy! Bought this for more comfort and better gear loops fits the bill perfectly. I like the quick buckles and ability to center the loop. Belay loop is large

5 Sean
[ Great harness for trad multi- pitch-- lots of semi- stiff gear loops, very adjustable so you can make it fit just right, and the padding is both thicker and wider than most other non- big wall harnesses.

5 SCCP1009
[ Misty Mountain makes some of the best climbing gear around. I love that it ’s made in the U. S. This is my second Misty Mountain Cadillac, and I ’ m not sure I ’ ll ever use a harness from another company. Do yourself a favor, get one!

[ A friend of mine had a misty mountain harness and always raved of how great it was. My cheap petzl harness was almost falling apart from the chimneys and crystalline granite I had made it subject to, so I decided to upgrade. The Cadillac is great, definitely comfy enough for all day climbing and makes the hanging belay while my partner flails on that 5. 8 offwidth so much more survivable. I also don ’ t mind the extra weight versus some other harnesses, it still feels sleek and works great for hard cracks in the creek.

Frequently Asked Questions For Lightweight Climbing Harnesses

A lightweight climbing harness offers enhanced mobility and comfort, making it ideal for long climbs and multi-pitch routes. Its reduced weight can help minimize fatigue during extended use, allowing climbers to focus on their performance. Additionally, lightweight designs often incorporate breathable materials that improve ventilation, keeping you cooler during strenuous activities.

Choosing the right size for a lightweight climbing harness involves measuring your waist and leg circumferences to ensure a proper fit. Most harnesses come with size charts that correlate measurements to specific sizes. It's important to try on the harness and adjust the straps for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring it allows for movement without being restrictive.

Lightweight climbing harnesses are typically made from durable yet lightweight materials such as nylon and polyester, which provide strength without adding unnecessary weight. Many harnesses also feature reinforced stitching and gear loops made from high-strength materials to ensure safety and functionality. The use of breathable fabrics enhances comfort during climbs, especially in warmer conditions.

While lightweight climbing harnesses are designed for versatility, their suitability can depend on the specific type of climbing you plan to do. They are ideal for sport climbing, trad climbing, and alpine climbing due to their comfort and reduced weight. However, for activities that require additional gear or protection, such as ice climbing or mountaineering, a more robust harness may be recommended.

When selecting a lightweight climbing harness, consider features such as adjustable leg loops, multiple gear loops for organization, and a comfortable waist belt. Look for harnesses with quick-adjust buckles for easy on and off, as well as those made with breathable materials to enhance comfort. Additionally, check for safety certifications to ensure the harness meets industry standards.
