Black Diamond Couloir Harness

Yes. The Couloir features a diaper-style leg loop configuration that allows you to step into the harness and secure it without removing your footwear, which is essential for safety and efficiency on glacier travel or technical ski descents.

Not really. Because it uses ultralight monofilament webbing with no padding, it is designed for short periods of suspension rather than long, comfortable belays. It is built for alpine efficiency and weight savings, not all-day cragging comfort.

The Infinity Loop is a seamless, patent-pending construction that eliminates the stiff, bulky overlap found in traditional belay loops. This makes the harness lighter, more packable, and prevents the loop from shifting or rotating while you are moving.

It includes two gear loops and four dedicated ice clipper slots, which is plenty for carrying screws and essential protection on alpine routes. However, it lacks a haul loop, so it is best suited for fast-and-light missions rather than heavy-duty multi-pitch climbing.

It is extremely compact. When packed down, the harness is roughly the size of an orange, making it easy to stash inside a jacket pocket or the lid of your pack when you aren't wearing it.
