AR-395a Klatresele Herre

For reference, I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs, 30in waist and I bought the Small. I bought and immediately took this harness out for a week trip in Yosemite and am loving it so far. The angled front gear loops are like a Pez dispenser for cams. I can fit a whole .3 - 3 in rack of singles on each front gear loop, then have 3 open loops for slings, draws, belay device, etc. Sitting in the harness is extremely comfortable with the material spread out evenly in the hip belt, rather than a skinny piece of webbing digging into your back. And the color is great. My only gripe would be that I wish this harness had the fixed leg loops rather than the adjustable double-backed version it comes with. I knew what I was buying so its not really a con, but the only change I would personally make. 5/5 stars

I ordered a harness from Arcteryx.com and specifically requested shipping via USPS, which was confirmed by their customer service team. Despite this assurance, my order was shipped via UPS and ended up being returned to the warehouse. When I went to pick it up at the USPS store, I discovered the issue. This was supposed to be a replacement for my first harness, which had only lasted 3 years. The wear and tear were significant: the first tie-in point is worn through, and the rear leg loop straps are broken. Based on this experience, I would recommend using a different website; choose a different brand for your next harness.

For me this is the best allround harness. Light, comfortable, packs really small and allows you to carry lots of gear

The color is on point and the is easily the comfiest harness I have ever used. It's adjustable for ice climbing and really easy to use for craiging or multi-pitches.

Great harness, no complaints. Comfortable to wear, sturdy and fits great.

Excellent, incredibly comfortable all-around harness. Replaced my 7-year old AR-395a with the same harness. Sizing: 30' waist, Size: Small Note: I'm a 30' waist and the tightening strap JUST BARELY reaches the little securement tab, with a t-shirt and climbing pants on. If you plan on wearing multiple layers under the harness, or think you might vary in waist size slightly, consider a Medium.

An Absolute amazing harness. fit, comfort, hanging, gear space, you name it. Does the trick!

This harness is the best on the market full stop. During the pandemic related supply chaos, I tried other models from other manufacturers and they all fell short. Try the flat Arc’teryx waistband and you’ll never go back. The gear loops are perfect for any size rack short of a big wall and the ice clipper sleeves are so easy to use. It even looks great. Premium gear that is 100% worth the cost. Sizing is super easy and true to fit. The leg loops adjust easily to suit everything from Red Rock multipitch to Teton ski-mo.

This harness is without a doubt the best harness I have used. It fits perfectly and caries weight very evenly. I tried another option after owning the AR but have gone back to the Arc'teryx and am sold again.

Nice fit, Amazing quality and looks great to boot! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a high-quality harness!

Two stars partially because of consistent manufacturing defect and lack of quality control. And partially for the extremely slow after sales service. I have now received two of the 395-a harnesses in size small with the same front left gear loop defect. The plastic cover for the front loop on the left is molded incorrectly, so that it does not sit flush with the harness and pokes out to the side. Which is frustrating considering the price tag. The process for fixing the issue with the first harness was also disappointing as I could not get a response without calling five days after every email I sent. Squeaky wheel gets the grease is very accurate with the after sales team. I just received my replacement harness today only to be let down by the exact same issue as before, same gear loop, same issue. All that being said the harness is incredibly comfortable and lightweight, and the defect is only cosmetic. But since this is one of the most expensive harnesses on the market one would hope that this piece of gear would be up to standard right out of the box.

Just bought ans worn, but si light and confortable !

Lightweight, comfortable, packable. Using from gym to trad and ice climbing and it rocks everywhere. Totally worth it

This harness is a classic for a reason. It's super comfortable to hang in, lightweight and packable. It has ice clipper loops in the right spots and the gear loops are large and work really well.

This is my second AR-395, robust and comfortable! Works great for summer and winter.

Lightweight and compact, easy to carry in its bag; wide back band that ensures decent comfort at belay anchors; plastic gear loops that helps clipping the quickdraws; ice clipper slots. Highly recommended

These harnesses work well for anything from sport cragging to lead bolting winter mixed routes. Solid ice clipper slots, well structured and shaped gear loops, full adjustability, what's not to love.

Climbing has been my passion since childhood, and throughout my life, I've used numerous harnesses from various brands and models, both for work (as a certified Mountain Guide) and for recreation. I must say that this harness is truly the best for a climber. The wide back band allows for comfort even during prolonged hanging, and in the event of a fall, the impact force is distributed very well. The gear loops are practical and functional. In short, an excellent product!

I’ve had this harness for 5 years and it’s done me very well. It fits well and it comfortable to hang in for long periods of time. I use it for rock climbing, ice climbing, and mountaineering I don’t see any way this product could be improved.

J'ai ce baudrier depuis quelques semaines et j'en suis très content. En effet, en tant que professionnel j'en ai eu beaucoup de différents et celui ci est le plus confortable que je n'ai jamais possédé ! En plus les passants pour mettre les portes broches pour l'escalade sur glace sont top !

This is my third Arcteryx harness and I will never want a different one. I use it for rock and ice climbing and has all the features you nee and nothing you don't.

I am a guide and I love this harness for all day adventures out in the mountains. It is super comfy and lightweight. I love that it has 4 ice clipper loops in the right places and the leg loops are easy to drop. The balance between weight, comfort and performance are perfect. All around a great harness and worth the money!

I've been using this model harness almost exclusively for 6 years. Long story short, it's nearly perfect. The harness packs down small and takes up little space in your pack, which is important on those long alpine approaches. The weight and movement are nice and light and totally appropriate for sport climbing redpoint burns. Yet despite that, the width of the waist belt distributes load well and therefore it's relatively comfortable during an extended hanging belay. The gear loops are large, easy to clip and can easily carry a double rack with all the other accessories. There's also a full sized 5th loop on the back. I personally prefer the adjustable leg loops because when it's time to go for a walk, I don't bother taking the harness off but instead will just open the leg loops all the way up and it becomes quite comfortable to walk in. They also make it possible to get the drop height of the harness dialed in perfectly. This is an awesome quiver of one. Only for the most niche applications is it not the best. For hanging in literally all day, like on aid routes or if bolting or route setting, this won't be the most comfortable. Similarly for skimo type missions, this harness is a bit much. But it isn't designed for either of those applications (despite having been used for both). If you're looking for a single harness to do any type of climbing, this is it. I'm 6'2" and 175 lbs and a M fits perfectly

I have used this harness for a while now and I really love it. The material used makes it incredibly comfortable to climb in and the gear loops are durable and have plenty of space for racking gear.

I used this harness for Trad and Ice climbing. It has good features for both: 5 gear loop on the back, adjustable leg loops, and ice clipper holders. It is also very lightweight for the amount of features it has, which brings me to the downside: not comfortable for hanging belays. There is just no padding around the waist, which I would prefer to take the weight hit. I think this harness runs large as well, so be careful. I am 6' 185 pounds and the Medium barely gets tight enought for me, I have to crank it all the way down when not wearing winter layers.

Great harness. Love the adjustability, comfort in hanging belays, and fully loaded features.

I've had a number of these over the years. I really enjoy the large gear loops and find them really comfy for longer hanging belays
