Arc'teryx AR-385a Climbing Harness

Yes, it is designed as a true all-arounder. The adjustable leg loops allow you to accommodate bulky winter layers, while the four dedicated ice clipper slots make it fully capable for ice and alpine missions.

Instead of using thick foam padding, Warp Strength Technology uses a wide, flexible band that distributes weight evenly across the entire harness. This creates a lower profile that feels less bulky and significantly reduces pressure points during long hangs.

The stainless steel quick hook is intuitive and allows you to undo the leg loops without fully taking off your harness. It is a practical, time-saving feature for long days on the wall when nature calls.

The harness features integrated wear safety markers on the belay loop and tie-in points. If you see the contrasting color appearing underneath the outer fabric in these critical areas, it is time to replace the harness.

Yes, the AR-385a is patterned specifically for the female anatomy. It features a rise and waist-to-leg-loop ratio tailored to provide a more secure and comfortable fit than a unisex model.
