AR: All Around. Extremely versatile adjustable leg harness that excels for sport, trad, alpine, mixed or ice climbing.
Built with ergonomic freedom and longwearing performance for versatility on rock and ice, the AR-395a hits the sweet spot where innovation, comfort and performance converge. Innovative Warp Strength Technology™ combines strength with a design that evenly disperses pressure and provides flexibility for freedom and comfort. Burly™ Double Weave material provides hardwearing performance with four way stretch, and laminated elastic webbing in the adjustable leg loops extends rebound life. Four reversible polyurethane gear loops, rear haul loop, four ice clipper slots provide plenty of rack space.
Warp Strength Technology™ Advantage: WST™ differs from traditional harness construction in that the load is evenly distributed across the entire width of the harness structure rather than loading a single, narrow strip of webbing in the centre or running edge binding, both of which tend to concentrate the pressure of the harness making them less comfortable. Warp Strength Technology™ cradles the body and the load is universally dispersed from edge to edge. This construction method provides a high degree of support and this new generation of harnesses are more comfortable over time and usage than ever before. The waistbelt and leg loops now include thin reinforcements that help keep the load distributed more evenly across their width and the edges have been softened for a smoother transition. All resulting in a WST™ harnesses that are durable, ultra compact, comfortably supple and light weight.

Amazing harness with so much rack potential. Much more comfortable on the waist strap than others I have used however for hanging belays the leg straps are a little narrow but given how light the harness is I can’t complain. Love it!

Good thin profile, comfortable to move around in. Best for winter climbing. Hip belt adjustment should be on both sides. Ice clipper locations are conveniently in front and it's good that there are two of them on both sides. For long-term top roping, a more padded harness might be better. A vertical haul loop would be nice for a bag of ice. Not nearly perfect, but the best on the market.| Overall rating |
Price quite high but I could not find big benefits if compare it for example with BD Technicians. Carry tool loops quite big and no so strong, gear loops also quite soft. Quite comfortable.
