The Quartz CR3 is an all-around climbing harness that can be used for rock climbing, general mountaineering, alpinism, and tree climbing.
It is constructed of a 3-D honeycomb mesh. This is enveloped with an EVA perforated foam that is 4 mm thick. The foam is attached to the mesh with a minimum of internal stitching.
On the waist belt, the foam padding folds over the top, providing extra comfort around your abdomen, hips, and back. Its Sliding Waist Belt System allows the padding to slide along the honeycomb mesh. This makes it easy to center the padding and the tie-in point.
On the leg loops, the entire surface of the padding absorbs the force of your weight, thus eliminating pressure points. This is made possible by the Edge-Load Construction of the loops.
Both the waist belt and leg loops feature patented Sicura buckles. These allow the stripping of the harness without having to remove your boots or skis. The leg loop buckles also allow full adjustment to accommodate different layers.
At the front of the harness is a No Twist belay loop that keeps you belays, descenders, or rappel devices in their proper position. There are also four gear loops where you can attach carabiners, cams, quick draws, or nuts for easy access. At the back is a rear haul loop that is rated at 12kN.
