Hands down, best in it's class. I'm on several years using this ski harness exclusively. To me, it's unparalleled and what I recommend to any friend that asks. When I'm going into terrain with hanging or multiple rappels, I prefer to shift to a more robust harness like the Choucas Pro. Pairs well with any captura style carabiner (like the Elderid HMS Triple or any other triple action, isolating carabiner).

I thought I forgot to put on my harness...

So light, so smooth, so sexy. This harness is so compact that the biggest concern will be realizing you packed it or put it on. Very functional leg-loop closures and waistbelt buckle make the Choucas Light EASY to take on and off without putting it on one leg at a time. That's right, you can finally transcend the everyday routine of putting pants on one leg at a time.

I have been using this since 2018, and it's still going strong! It's great for Cascade volcanoes and low angle alpine rock like the W Ridge of Forbidden Peak. The one question I get from people is about gear loops, and my answer is to pair it with a Warthog pack and move your gear loops to the pack's waistbelt!
