Edelrid Autana II Harness

The Autana II is built for alpine environments by including specific features like laminated attachment points for ice screw carabiners and a haul loop. Its lightweight construction and adjustable leg loops also make it easy to layer over bulky winter clothing or mountaineering pants.

The center-fit construction allows you to adjust the waist belt padding independently from the webbing. This ensures the padding stays centered on your waist, which is particularly helpful for climbers with narrower waists who often struggle with off-center padding.

Yes, the harness features five gear loops that are designed to be compressible. This makes them durable enough to hold a full alpine rack while remaining low-profile enough to prevent snagging when you aren't carrying gear.

While it is optimized for alpine climbing, it performs well for sport climbing if you prefer a harness with adjustable leg loops. However, if you are strictly sport climbing, you might find the extra alpine-specific features like ice clipper slots unnecessary.

The 3D mesh padding is designed to provide airflow, which helps manage moisture and heat during long approaches or extended days on the wall. It offers a good balance between comfort and breathability without adding excessive bulk.

The self-locking slide block buckles are designed for safety and ease of use. Once threaded, they lock securely in place, and because they are self-locking, you don't need to double back the webbing, which simplifies the process of putting on and taking off the harness.
