Due to the great interest in climbing equipment, you will find accessories related to this sport on our site. In this category we present a lightweight climbing harness.
Without this element, no climbing is possible. Thanks to the harness, you are assured of self-assurance.
You can distinguish between a via ferrata climbing harness or a full climbing harness. Depending on what you need it for, you will choose a different model. We will discuss this in the following section. How is such a harness built?
A hip harness - because you will find such in our offer - is built from a hip belt and thigh loops. The two are connected by a "center link". This is the most important point of the entire harness. To be approved for sale, the connector must withstand a force of 15kN. The human body cannot even withstand such a force. Instead, this shows how strong materials must be used to make the center connector. In addition to being very strong, it must be resistant to the friction that the rope causes. The coupler is precisely the point to which you attach the climbing rope. A lightweight climbing harness also has buckles for adjustment at the hip and thigh straps. The last part of the harness is the climbers. These are 2 or 4 loops at the hip belt that are used to hook up climbing gear.
The Military.pl store offers products from manufacturers such as: Petzl, Climbing Technology or Edelrid. Each of them pays great attention to the quality of the equipment. Before buying a harness, make sure that it is made to maximize your comfort during your favorite hobby.
Climbing comfort is influenced by such features as the adjustable waist belt and thigh loops. This allows you to perfectly adjust the width to your figure. To improve airflow and reduce perspiration, manufacturers cover the material on the inside with mesh - just like in backpacks. Another element that may determine the purchase of a particular model is the number of chainguards. If you carry few spare snap hooks with you, then two loops are definitely enough. Otherwise, it is better to opt for more, such as 4. This will allow you to suspend more accessories. These can be carabiners or a bag of magnesia. You might as well hang a water bottle there.
We mentioned earlier that harnesses can vary in construction. A via ferrata climbing harness is usually a hip harness alone. Via ferrata is actually a type of hiking glass that is climbing in nature. However, it is additionally equipped with steel ropes for self-assurance. Colloquially, such trails are called iron perć and are very popular in many European countries, such as Italy, Germany and France.
A full climbing harness is a combination of a hip and chest harness. You can say that it is simply a harness with suspenders - this is the easiest way to distinguish them. This type is mainly used for work at height, where better stability is required, especially if you are doing precision work. The full harness is more often intended for younger climbing fans.
Regardless of the type of harness, remember that the main task of this accessory is to ensure the safety of you and other participants on the climbing route. So choose proven, reputable manufacturers.
In our offer on military.pl you will find several respected companies, among which you will find durable harnesses. You can choose among different colors and additional elements with which the models differ. An interesting fact is that some models have pockets equipped with an RFID chip. This allows you to tag the harness with the owner's data.
We invite you to take a look at the offer of our Military.pl store. We hope that you will find a product that fits your needs. Also remember to take a peek at the "Technical data" section. There you will find, for example, information on size.
