Metolius Safe Tech Deluxe Harness - Men's

Metolius Safe Tech Deluxe Harness - Men's description

The Metolius Safe Tech Men's Deluxe Harness is one of the best fitting, safest harnesses in the world. The Men's Deluxe is a beefed up version of the All-Around and is designed to lend maximum support to the lower back while simultaneously providing unparalleled freedom of movement. Hard on the outside, soft on the inside with a tough 1050d Ballistics outer layer and a polyethylene foam with brushed inner lining, it is ideal for Big Wall and long Trad routes where comfort is crucial. Metolius' sophisticated adjustment system lets you fine tune the fit by adjusting the riser length; that is the distance between the waist belt and the leg loops. This harness also boasts the world's toughest and longest wearing tie-in points. Every component, including leg risers, the gear, haul, and belay loops are engineered to withstand a load of at least 2250 lbf (10kN)that's FULL strength and typically the max impact force rating of a modern climbing rope. **ABOUT SAFE TECH HARNESSES: Due to an alarming number of accidents involving the misuse of harnesses and/or the failure of harness components, Metolius designed their Safe Tech Series with every possible margin of safety in mind. The structural systems of the Safe Tech harness have been made as redundant and error-proof as possible, e.g., the waist buckle even shows the word DANGER' if not correctly double-passed.

Bottom Line: Equal parts ingenuity and brute strength, Safe Tech harnesses perform true to their name.

I bought it to be a lightweight big wall harness (lighter than my Yates) and I was disappointed to discover that the leg loops can't be completely removed from the harness for sleeping at night. I might have to take a knife to it.

This harness is very comfortable to belay students all day. Luckily found time to test the fit and ergonomics while actually climbing too! Once you tailor fit it you''ll be amazed at how well it works. For Clydesdale types like me it's the first harness that's a joy to be in all day.
