A distinguishing feature of the Arc’Teryx R320 Harness is its ultra-thin waist and legs. Unlike other harnesses, it does not need thick padding to provide comfort while climbing. With its proprietary Warp Strength® Technology, the entire weight of the body is evenly distributed across the entire structure of the harness. This is possible because the belt and legs are closely contoured to the shape of the body.
Four gear loops of injection-molded polyurethane cover webbing loops directly attached to the harness. These allow you to carry all the racks, draws, or other climbing gear you need. These reversible and removable gear loops are flexible even in extreme cold. A haul loop is also included for trailing a second rope.
Wear Safety Markers are included in the thermoformed tie-in points and belay loop. A bright orange appears when the protective ballistic sheath of the structural webbing is worn out. Using the harness in this condition is inadvisable as it could abrade the structure leading to loss of strength. A 7075 T6 aluminum anodized buckle that is self-locking allows adjustments while maintaining a double-back configuration.
The exterior of the Arc’Teryx R320 Harness is made of Schoeller® stretch fabric. This is a lightweight and abrasion-resistant material that allows maximum freedom of movement. The inner part is lined with soft and breathable spacermesh providing comfort and allowing the free flow of air.
