injury or death.
• Arc'teryx harnesses are made for
mountaineering and climbing only. Do not use
for other climbing applications.

trained or otherwise competent persons, or
those under the direct supervision of trained
or otherwise competent persons. Do not use

• Keep away from children. Do not allow children
to use this harness.
• Wetness and icing may reduce the strength of
a harness. Air dry it away from direct sunlight
before storing or using.
• Always check buckles and adjusting devices
before use and regularly during use.
• Always check entire harness for any damage
before use and regularly during use. Avoid
contact with sharp objects or any object that may
cause direct friction with the harness. Do not use
if damaged or frayed.
• Before using the harness, carry out a suspension
test in a safe place to ensure that the harness is
the correct size, has sufficient adjustment and is
of acceptable comfort level for the intended use.
• Before using harness check that buckles are
functioning properly and threaded correctly.
• Do not use chemicals, corrosive agents,
or solvents to clean the harness.
• Do not use the gear loops or haul loop for
anchoring, belaying or rappelling.
• The haul loop is for connecting a tag line/trail
rope only, and is not to be used as part of any
safety system. The haul loop load should not
exceed 15kg/33lbs.
• Do not place more than 5kg/11lbs on each
gear loop.
• If climbing with a pack on, we recommend
using a CE approved chest harness in
conjunction with the sit harness. In the case of
a fall, this will keep the climber upright, which is
especially important if the climber is rendered
unconscious.
• Only use CE approved climbing equipment with
this harness.
