Metolius Safe Tech Harness

Safe Tech is Metolius's proprietary design philosophy that emphasizes redundant load-bearing components. Essentially, every structural part of the harness—including the belay loop and tie-in points—is built to be stronger than the webbing itself, providing an extra layer of security during high-impact falls.

It is designed to handle both equally well. The harness balances the streamlined profile needed for indoor gym sessions with the durability and comfort required for long days on outdoor rock.

The Safe Tech harness features a highly adjustable design that accommodates a wide range of body types. Because it is a unisex model, the waist belt and leg loops are engineered for a neutral fit, though you should always double-check your measurements against the size chart to ensure the gear loops and belay loop sit correctly on your frame.

While it is versatile enough for sport climbing and gym training, it features standard gear loop configurations. If you are planning on carrying a heavy rack for complex trad routes, you may find the storage capacity more limited compared to specialized big-wall harnesses.

To extend the life of your harness, hand wash it in lukewarm water with a mild, non-detergent soap and air dry it away from direct sunlight. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can degrade the integrity of the nylon webbing over time.
