Climbing harnesses

Sit back and relax

There’s nothing like the feeling of being high off the ground, but you want peace of mind knowing your gear has got you. At MEC, you’ll find a wide range of climbing harnesses to keep you safe in the gym, at the crag, or on multi-pitch epics. For some great tips on which harness is right for you, check out our article on how to choose a climbing harness.

Harnesses for rock, ice or snow

If you want one harness that does it all or the ability to layer up, scope out harnesses with adjustable leg loops. If you’re looking for something less bulky or more lightweight, then fixed harnesses might have what you’re after. For climbers venturing to frozen waterfalls or deep into the mountains, our ice and snow harnesses have the features you need to carry all your gear, including ice screws.

Top brands, such as Black Diamond and Petzl, have options for the first timer to the seasoned pro. Not losing sight of sustainability, Edelrid and Mammut offer a selection of bluesign®-approved harnesses created with the highest environmental standards.

It’s never too early to start

Climbing is fun for the whole family. Our kids’ harnesses provide options for aspiring alpinists and rock warriors. If you’re starting them early, a full-body harness is perfect for youngsters who are too small for a traditional harness.
