Product Description

A high-performance harness for longer climbs, the Chaos is incredibly supportive and comfortable. Built with a TPU lumbar support, in-molded vents and soft-wicking fabric, the compression molded bullhorn-shaped waistbelt provides breathable support. Using a drop-seat, Y-style design with elastic panels, the wider thermoformed leg loops move with you and distribute weight to maintain circulation. The Chaos is equipped with four traditional gear loops and a full-strength haul loop for trailing a line or clipping your shoes.

Sizes

5 different sizes are available, if you have a small waist, always buy a harness that has this many size options.

Voted 5/5

My mainstay harness now for two years. Switched from Petzl Corax (which I still use over heavy clothes on WI) because it did not fit me right. I have like a 28-29 waist and needed a harness that offered it self up in 5 sizes like the Chaos does. It was no doubt on sale or something, but the bottom line is I have taken several long falls with it not to mention been on long wall days where others had complained and I felt pretty comfortable. Good overall harness, no bells or whistles, just works. The leg loop clip in the back works better than the way they had that Corax fitted at one time.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
