Edelrid Autana II

Yes, it is designed specifically for alpine environments. The leg loops fully open, allowing you to put the harness on while wearing skis or crampons, and it includes dedicated attachment points for ice screws.

The padding is not fixed to the webbing, allowing you to slide it independently. This ensures the gear loops and padding remain centered on your hips regardless of how much you tighten or loosen the waist belt to accommodate different clothing layers.

The Autana II uses 3D mesh padding with soft, rounded edges to prevent digging. While it is a lightweight alpine harness, the construction is designed to distribute weight effectively for all-day comfort.

The tie-in point features a contrasting red inner layer. If the outer material begins to fray or wear down significantly, the red fabric becomes visible, providing a clear visual cue that it is time to retire the harness.

Yes, the gear loops are robust, but they are also designed to be compressible. This makes packing your gear into a smaller bag easier, though you should be mindful not to overload them beyond their intended capacity.

The Autana II is specifically engineered for climbers with narrower hips. The geometry of the waist belt and leg loops is tailored to provide a more secure, ergonomic fit for this body type compared to a traditional unisex design.
