Choucas Pro Harness

Switched over from a dead bird to the Choucas Pro. Great fit, lightweight, loops are solid, easy on and off. Been using in the gym (super comfortable) heading out to get an ice shortly!

For the same weight as comparable ultralight harnesses (like the bd couloir) you get gear loops with structure that are much easier to clip things to, 4 ice clipper slots, and leg loops with buckles that don't snap as soon as you go on rappel. Its not amazingly comfortable, but I was surprised at how little it bothered me when rappelling. The gear loops are sturdy enough that I have no concerns leading runout trad in the alpine, and I've started using it as my primary ice climbing harness. While the leg loop connecters are a bit tricky, a frequent climbing partner reported replacing the buckles on his bd couloir harness 3 times, something I'm happy to avoid.

I'm really happy with this thing. A good all rounder that can do most things! I also had a pretty tough time undoing the leg loops with my bare hands (as in I couldn't really do it) and I have concerns about the usefulness with gloves. Doesn't bother me much as I just sit down and walk the crampons through the leg loops.
Also the size chart is WAY off. I have a 32" waist at the smallest which puts me in the center of a size medium. I tightened the medium all the way down and still could slip a couple fingers in there. Need to return.

A fraction of the weight of my Arc Teryx and all of the comfort
