Product details: Blue Ice Choucas Light Harness Blue
Once again Blue Ice presents a revolution in terms of climbing harnesses. The Blue Ice Choucas-Light is perhaps the lightest climbing harness in the world that you can put on and take off with your feet on the ground because of its independently opening leg loops!
Weighing only 84g (size S), it's lighter than a smartphone, and once folded, it's so compact you can slip it into your pocket. Yet it offers what you'd expect from a ski touring or alpinism harness, including two gear loops and ice screw holders on the easy-open leg loops.
The secret to this lightness of the Choucas Light? Simplicity: two convenient tie-in loops instead of a metal buckle that opens. The leg loops offer a practical, fast and secure closure system. The result is an ultra-light and comfortable climbing harness, whether for casual rappelling or on the move. Never before has an alpine and ski touring harness been so light, compact and comfortable at the same time, but that's the balance you've found with the Blue Ice Choucas-Light.

Note:
How to choose the right size: The Choucas Light is a rather tight fit. It can be worn over pants or underneath (keeping the attachment loops out). Choose your size accordingly. If in doubt, or if the leg or waist circumference is between two sizes, the manufacturer recommends the larger size.
