40% Off Black Diamond Blizzard and Iris Climbing Harnesses
The Blizzard climbing harness (just $39.93, search REI.com for Item# 696574) is built especially for ice climbing, but it makes for a great trad or sport-climbing harness too. It’s stripped down as an ice harness, so it’s light (just 15 oz.) and has great freedom of movement. The padding is meduim-thick for comfort and it’s hidden inside the waistband so it doesn’t rub on sport or trad climbs and doesn’t pick up water and ice during winter work. The adjustable gear loops are great too, for those of us who don’t fit one-size harnesses or who climb in all sorts of weather.
Built for women’s waist and leg sizes the women’s Iris climbing harness (just $29.93, search REI.com for Item# 696575) delivers ultra lightweight (just 13 ounces) and Black Diamond’s comfy, but breathable, padding. The Iris is light, flexible and has a rear haul loop - so it will be great for both sport and trad climbing.
