AR-395a Klatresele Herre

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.
