WARNINGS AND SAFETY

• Read and understand this entire manual.

Failure to adhere to these warnings and the

instructions of this manual may result in severe

injury or death.

• Arc’teryx harnesses are made for

mountaineering and climbing only. Do not use

for other climbing applications.

• This product should only be used by properly

trained or otherwise competent persons, or

those under the direct supervision of trained

or otherwise competent persons. Do not use

without proper training or supervision.

• Do not use if you have a waist that exceeds the

sizing chart (107cm+ / 42in+) or are pregnant.

• Keep away from children. Do not allow children

to use this harness.

• Wetness and icing may reduce the strength of

a harness. Air dry it away from direct sunlight

before storing or using.

• Always check buckles and adjusting devices

before use and regularly during use.

• Always check entire harness for any damage

before use and regularly during use. Avoid

contact with sharp objects or any object that may

cause direct friction with the harness. Do not use

if damaged or frayed.

• Before using the harness, carry out a suspension

test in a safe place to ensure that the harness is

the correct size, has sufﬁcient adjustment and is

of acceptable comfort level for the intended use.

• Before using harness check that buckles are

functioning properly and threaded correctly.

• Do not use chemicals, corrosive agents, or

solvents to clean the harness.

• Do not use the gear loops or haul loop for

anchoring, belaying or rappelling.

• The haul loop is for connecting a tag line/trail

rope only, and is not to be used as part of any

safety system. The haul loop load should not

exceed 15kg/33lbs.

• Do not place more than 5kg/11lbs on each

gear loop.

• If climbing with a pack on, we recommend

using a CE approved chest harness in

conjunction with the sit harness. In the case of

a fall, this will keep the climber upright, which is

especially important if the climber is rendered

unconscious.

• Only use CE approved climbing equipment with

this harness.

SAFETY STANDARDS

This harness is designed to protect the user against

falls from a height. It is made for mountaineering and

climbing only, and is deﬁned as “Type C Sit Harness”

by the EN 12277:2015+A1:2018 standard. This

product should only be used by properly trained or

otherwise competent persons, or those under the direct

supervision of trained or otherwise competent persons.

Climbing and mountaineering are inherently dangerous;

seek qualiﬁed instruction and thoroughly familiarize

yourself with the following product guidelines.

Competent persons need to consider how any rescue

may safely and efﬁciently be carried out.

LIFESPAN

The harness is your direct link to the rest of your safety system.

You are responsible for inspecting your harness before every

use. If there are any doubts regarding its safety, you should

immediately discontinue its use and destroy the harness to

prevent further use.

All harnesses have a limited lifespan. To determine if your

harness is safe to use, you must inspect it per our inspection

procedures included in this document. Arc’teryx harnesses

that are stored properly and pass all inspection criteria may

be used until it reaches 10 years of age from its date of

manufacture. The date your harness was manufactured can be

found on the care and content label permanently attached to

every Arc’teryx harness (Figure 1).

Remember that some factors impacting harness lifespan will

not be visible, so you must know the history and exposure

of the harness to environmental factors (ultraviolet light, salt

water, extreme heat, etc.) and chemical factors (petroleum,

oils, lubricants, acids, etc.). If the harness has been subjected

to a major stress, such as a big fall, it should be immediately

retired and destroyed to prevent further use. Retire any

harness that is obsolete due to changes in regulations,

standards or when incompatible with other equipment within

the safety system.

You are responsible for knowing these factors and if there is

any doubt on the condition of the harness, discontinue its use

and destroy the harness.

INSPECTION

You need to perform a thorough inspection of your harness

before every use to ensure that it is undamaged and safe

to use.

Inspect your harness using these steps below and

immediately discontinue its use and destroy if any of these

conditions exist:

• There are ANY doubts as to the condition of the

harness.

• Any damage, holes, cuts, colour changes or

discoloration, missing or cut threads, melting,

swelling or cracks on any part of the harness both on

the inside and out.

• Orange showing through any part of the belay loop

or tie-in points on the waist or leg loops.

• Buckles have deep scratches, cracks, dents,

corrosion, deformation or any visible damage.

• The harness has been exposed to a major stress

such as a big fall.

• The harness has been exposed to environmental

factors (excess ultraviolet light, salt water, extreme

heat, etc.) or chemical factors (petroleum, oils,

lubricants, acids, etc.), whether or not there is visible

damage or colour changes.

CARE

Transport the harness in the supplied bag and always keep

it away from sharp objects, ice screws, crampons, direct

sunlight, corrosive substances (battery acids, gasoline,

automobile motor ﬂuids, solvents, bleach, etc.), or any

other potentially damaging objects. Store the harness in

a dry, dark place that is free of any contaminants. If the

harness becomes wet or icy, air dry it away from direct

sunlight before storing or using. You may hand wash the

harness in warm water with a mild soap (never use bleach)

and allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight. Never

make any modiﬁcation to the harness: this includes sewing,

altering, melting threads or webbing, dying, colouring or

marking any part of the harness, and modifying a buckle

in any way.

PUTTING ON THE HARNESS

1. Hold the harness in front of you; belay loop facing forward. Check that there are no twists in the

belay loop, leg loops, or the elasticized leg loop straps. The swami buckle should be positioned

left of centre on your waist when putting the harness on and the belay loop should be centreed.

Also, make sure that the leg buckles are positioned on the outer part of each leg (not all models

have leg buckles). Step into the harness and pull up the waist belt and leg loops.

2. Positioning the waist belt between the hip bones and the ribs, pull the webbing through the

auto-locking buckle until the waist belt ﬁts snugly. Stow the loose end of the waist belt webbing

in the stretch woven sleeve located beneath the left side gear loops. To ensure a proper

ﬁt the ideal amount of overlap between the waist belt ends is 2.5cm/1”. There is 7.6cm/3”

range of adjustability within each size; if you cannot achieve a proper ﬁt in one size choose an

appropriately smaller or larger size. The leg loops should be situated high on the upper thigh and

ﬁt comfortably without restricting movement.

3. Harnesses with adjustable leg loops are ﬁtted by tightening or loosening the webbing through

the auto-locking buckle (Figure 2). All Arc’teryx auto-locking buckles are fully-separating if desired,

and must be reassembled correctly otherwise serious injury or death may occur.

4. Prior to using the harness, perform a suspension test in a safe place to ensure that it is the

correct size and adjusted properly for personal comfort. If uncertainty exists regarding the ﬁt or

adjustments, seek qualiﬁed professional advice before use.

5. During use, regularly check buckles and adjustments to guarantee a proper ﬁt.

TYING INTO THE HARNESS

Tie in with a ﬁgure-of-eight knot as shown in Figure 3, making

certain that the rope passes through both the waist belt and

leg loop rise tie-in points. Failure to tie into both points can

result in serious injury or death. Do not tie directly into the

belay loop. Adjust the knot’s loop/bight length to position the

knot close to the tie-in points; this ensures a comfortable ﬁt

and keeps the knot from interfering with climbing.

Figure 3

BELAYING AND RAPPELLING

Attach all belay and rappel devices to the belay loop with

a locking carabiner (Figure 4). The belay loop is engineered

for extreme structural strength (>15kN/3350 lbf), equal to

the main harness structure, and when used correctly for

belaying and rappelling provides a safer two-point load.

Do not employ any attachment system that cause s undue

direct friction to the belay loop or either of the tie-in points.

Never girth hitch anything to your belay loop. This can focus

abrasion in a single location. Before use, always inspect the

belay loop for signs of wear or damage, see: “Inspection”.

The belay loop is to be used as the attachment point in any

rescue situation.
