AR-395a Klettergurt Herren

As a professional guide in Argentina, I needed a high-quality harness that could handle long days, heavy gear loads, and varied terrain. The Arcteryx AR-395a checked every box — and exceeded my expectations. I purchased it specifically for the winter ice climbing courses I teach, which involve multi-pitch climbs and require carrying a significant amount of gear. The four dedicated Ice Clipper slots were one of the main reasons I chose this model. They allow me to organize multiple ice screws efficiently, and even clip my technical ice tools during transitions — an essential feature when you're climbing with students and managing safety. I first tested the harness during a rock climbing trip in San Luis, and it performed flawlessly. The Warp Strength Technology™ truly makes a difference: the pressure is evenly distributed, and I barely noticed I was wearing it, even after hours of climbing. Other standout features: Adjustable leg loops: allow a perfect fit regardless of the layering system I’m wearing. Four gear loops and rear haul loop: plenty of space for racking gear for both rock and ice objectives. Versatility: This is a true all-round harness — equally at home on granite, alpine snow, mixed lines, or bolted sport routes. Comfort: Long belays and hanging stances feel much less fatiguing than with other harnesses I’ve used in the past. If you’re a climber who moves between disciplines — sport, trad, alpine, and ice — and you need a harness that’s rugged and exceptionally comfortable, the AR-395a is hard to beat. It’s a premium investment, but absolutely worth it for serious climbers or professionals.

Harness is super comfortable light weight and reliable. Great for spending time hanging on projects, and belaying on big walls.

Super baudrier d’escalade, la ceinture est vraiment agréable autour de la taille et léger. Les portes matériel sont vraiment bien disposées et leur rigidité est un atout

I love the AR-395a harness - it provides excellent support for the lower back and is very comfortable, especially during long belays. The broad waist belt distributes weight evenly, making it a great choice for hanging stances and multi-pitch routes. => Highly recommend it!

The harness is comfortable enough when you first put it but once its weighted while projecting or belaying it is a nightmare. Even with the adjustable leg straps, it is impossible to get the fit dialed-in enough to stop circulation being cut off to upper legs and groin when weighted. I bought it from an Arcteryx store where there wasn't anywhere in the store to try the harness weighted...my mistake I guess, but I also feel like Arcteryx stores shouldn't be selling harnesses if they don't have proper facilities to test harness fit under weight (ie something closer to actual climbing conditions). Now I am stuck with an expensive harness that's going to sit in my closet.
