Description

Full body climbing harness for children less than 30 kg.

Designed for children weighing less than 30 kg, the OUISTITI harness is especially easy to put on and adjust. It does not require a connector to be fastened, and the adjustment system is difficult for a child to access. The perforated foam structure and the front tie-in point favor comfort while climbing. The rear attachment point allows the child to be connected for other specific activities.

Description

  • Easy to put on and adjust:
    - proper donning is facilitated by holding and shaking the harness from the orange dorsal point
    - semi-rigid structure is color-coded (gray foam interior and blue exterior) for easy donning
    - primary adjustment is done on the shoulder straps with the DoubleBack buckles
    - secondary adjustment, for small or big children, is done with the DoubleBack buckles on the back of the harness
  • Comfortable to wear on the ground or when suspended:
    - quilted closed-cell foam structure on the leg loops, positioning waistbelt and shoulder straps
    - does not require connectors to remain fastened, allowing the child to keep wearing the harness for playing without hindrance 
    - front tie-in point is reinforced and lower, for greater comfort when climbing, particularly during descents

Specifications

  • Material(s): high-strength polyester webbing, closed-cell foam, polyester
  • Harness comes in a protective carry bag

Gear Loops

Number of Gear Loops

Gear loops are used to hold gear (quickdraws, cams, etc) onto your harness. 4 gear loops is most common.

0 - 1 Gear Loops

Most often on full body harnesses or guide/gym style harnesses.

2-3 Gear Loops

Mostly found on lighter harnesses made for [ski] mountaineering or high-end sport climbing where weight is a high priority.

4 - 5 Gear Loops

The standard/most common number for climbing harnesses. Perfect for sport and trad.

More Than 6 Gear Loops

Designed for long multi-pitch and big wall climbing, found on harnesses made to hold the maximum amount of gear.

Worth Considering

Occasionally, the number of gear loops will change on a harness model depending on the size. There could be 7 gear loops for the med/large but only 5 gear loops for the xsmall/small. In this case we list the highest number for the filters, and then write an explanation on the product page like, “Size S/XS can only fit 5 gear loops.”

2 Gear loops
Ice Clip Slots

Ice Clip Slot

Ice clipper slots are made to fit a carabiner that holds ice screws. These slots are generally only used by ice climbers but there is no disadvantage to having them on your harness.

Less than 40% of harnesses will have ice clipper slots. And those harnesses will usually have 2 or 4 slots, often located next to, or between, the gear loops.

Haul Loop

Haul Loop

Trad climbers often look for a haul loop as they're intended to haul a rope (second line) or pack (while you climb the chimney).

A haul loop can also hold shoes or other accessories. Although not the intended use, it is also commonly used to hold a chalk bag.
