Blue Ice Choucas Arnés de esquí de travesía - Ice - Talla L

The Blue Ice Choucas is a minimalist, ultra-lightweight ski touring and mountaineering harness designed for fast and light ascents. Its innovative construction combines high-tenacity polyethylene (HMPE) and polyester webbing with an aircraft-grade aluminum buckle, offering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The Choucas packs down smaller than a fist, making it the perfect companion for glacier travel, alpine climbing, and ski mountaineering where every gram counts.

Advantages

Weighing only 5.5 oz (156 g) in size L, the Choucas is one of the lightest certified harnesses on the market. Despite its minimal weight, it does not compromise on safety or functionality. The fully adjustable leg loops with a drop-seat design allow for easy bathroom breaks without removing the harness. Two gear loops and two ice screw slots on the leg loops provide essential carrying capacity for alpine objectives. The single aluminum speed buckle makes donning and doffing quick and intuitive, even with gloves.
