Outback Convertible Harness Sit Harness, Medium

Description

A harness that redefines backcountry operations. Now available with modular Gear Loops!
The Outback Convertible Harness is a lightweight modular system for fast-moving technical teams in remote areas. Certified to EN standards and tested to ASTM standards, the Outback meets the strength requirements for a versatile mountaineering harness capable of rescue, rope access, climbing, and tactical or military operations. Its patent-pending integration lets users configure the harness for the task at hand and share components interchangeably in the field. Every team member wears the belt, edge personnel add leg loops, and vertical technicians get the full ensemble. The Outback Harness goes the distance and gets the job done. It’s globally certified, highly configurable, and fully-featured for challenging mountain operations.

Note: if you’re between sizes or plan to wear multiple layers of clothing, we recommend sizing up for more range in the waist belt circumference.
