Blue Ice Choucas Light Harness
Best ultralight harness for fast-and-light ski mountaineers.
This is the ultimate harness for weight-obsessed alpinists who refuse to compromise on convenience. By ditching traditional buckles for a clever ring-based system, it packs down to the size of a headlamp and lets you gear up without removing your skis, though you do sacrifice a bit of on-the-fly adjustability.
