Why We Like The Couloir Harness

With no bulk and all strength, the Couloir is an essential on our big mountain pursuits. This harness packs down to the size of an orange for compact stashing, while the adjustable leg loops clip open, letting us kit up without removing our skis or crampons.

Good Alpine harness

The belt is relatively easy to manipulate but (and this has been a problem with other BD gear I have) the plastic buckles are difficult to manipulate especially with gloves on. The other problem I have with this is the two front elastic straps are sewn in at the wrong angle and they rotate the harness crotch strap. It’s not really a problem but it’s a detail that would be nice if it was corrected.

Light weight, genius design, has its own dedicated belay loop.

Safety Lingerie

Tiny harness! So much easier to pack in for long approaches to where you finally need to wear it. The gear loops are tiny and essentially weightless, so I wish BD had put four on there instead of only two.

Perfect!

For anyone on ski patrol and have considered a harness for lift evacuation, the Couloir harness works perfectly. Easy to put on while sitting on the lift without dropping your skis. Nicely done BD!

It won't catch your fall

It might seem like a great light weight harness, perfect for mountaineering...I thought so too, but let me tell you this harness won't save your life, might as well travel glaciers unroped. The buckle system will fail around your leg loops. I took it for a slight scramble with a friend, I slipped and my friend caught me on the rope (fell less than 6inches), it was enough force to snap both the buckles open on the leg loops. I tried it again. I was practicing self crevasse using prusiks to climb out at home, the wight of me just sitting in the harness made the leg buckles snap out again. I weigh 152lbs pretty. Don't buy the harness. Buy one with out the plastic buckles.

Nifty and light package

Very well made and easy to use. The infinite loop idea is $$$

Ultralight harness

I tried the Couloir and the Petzl Altitude and found the Couloir to be more comfortable. I would definitely go for this version with the adjustable leg loops. This harness is about 1/4 the pack size of my sport climbing harness and half the weight. But don't buy this unless you have a specific purpose, it has no padding and is not comfortable for sport climbing.

Comfy

The videos on the different harnesses are super helpful. I was really torn about which size to get because I need this to fit over ski gear. I got the M/L and need to cinch it fully down in more lightweight gear, so I think the S/M would have worked fine. As a women, I find that unisex harnesses can sometimes fit fine in the waist but be tight in the legs, so I sized up. That wasn't an issue here. For those debating sizes...

Reasonable lightweight

A good balance between weight and safety, in my opinion. Will not use it for climbing gym but for the mountaineering for sure! Color is nice!
