No matter the style of climbing, Arc'Teryx R320 harness offers excellent comfort and support for vertical endeavors.
Designed on the principle that the entire structure of your harness should be load-bearing, the R320 harness from ARCTERYX uses revolutionary Warp Strength Technology to create a hyper-light, ultra-thin, and surprisingly comfortable way to keep yourself protected on the rock. Created to be a jack of all trades, this harness switches easily between trad and sport climbs.
High performance and jack of all trades, the Arc'teryx R320 Harness for men deftly switches between trad and sport climbing. WST construction, with thermoformed tie in point, provides universal support and incredible comfort across the entire harness structure. A self-locking buckle with added drop seat feature provides quick entry and/or exit. Stashing in its own storage bag, a haul loop, belay loop, and elastic leg loops provide climbing convenience and performance. Wear safety markers on the tie points help to keep you climbing smart.
When you first see the ultra-thin waist and legs on the Arc'teryx Men's R320 Climbing Harness, you may be scratching your head. After a few pitches, you'll be a believer. The WST constructed fabric distributes force over the entire surface area of the R320 Climbing Harness, so it doesn't need excessive padding to provide top-notch comfort. Four gear loops with removable rubber molding easily hold a big trad rack or all the draws you'll ever need on a sport climb. Arc'teryx even added a self-locking buckle to eliminate any chance that you'll ever forget to double-back. *Only available for US shipment.
The R320 Harness is Arcteryx's high performance jack of all trades, deftly able to switch between trad climbing and sport. Four gear loops and a haul loop make racking up for multi-pitch routes simple, and the WST waist and leg loops deliver unified structural support and comfort.

I had the fortune to get my hands on the R320 last Rocktober,and put quite a few sport and trad pitches on it. The obvious question: Is it comfortable? Answer: equal to my old Vapor, but with even less bulk. The Arc'teryx designers have innovated again, and left the other harness companies behind. The weight distribution is what makes this harness work. Other harnesses use padding to minimize pressure points, whereas the R320 uses the structural webbing, spread edge to edge in the leg and waist, to alleviate pressure points all together. I could barely tell I was wearing a harness until I came to a stop after pitching, and not landing on the ground. Gear racks are low-profile,and you can change racking direction to tend forward or back. And the face fabric is super tough Schoeller. Go get those offwidths! Coolest thing in climbing gear this season, for sure. How old is your harness? | |

| Well, the this was the first time I bought a harness that came in a nice shinny box, a little unnecessary but the metal was recyclable so I guess it beats most packaging. Taking it out of the box, I felt like a was picking a sexy piece of lingerie. This harness is scary light. The elastic legs are wonderful, the less straps and buckles the better. The one strap you do have to deal with tucks away nicely in a sleeve under the first gear loop. This harness is super comfy, you might forget to take it off when you're done climbing! The downs Pricey worth it, but still pricey. The haul loop in the back is worthless for anything but a chalk bag. The clip in the back for adjusting the legging heigh | |

Most amazing harness I've worn. | |

I finally traded up to the Arc'teryx R320 and I'll never go back. So comfy that I often forget that I have it on. I can't tell you how many days I've walked back to the car after a day of cragging, only to realize that I never took it off. Nice to hang in and when you're buddy is hanging on his project for 30 minutes, the belay is still pretty comfortable. | |

| Harness is super comfortable for all-day sport-climbing sessions in Hueco Tanks heat. Packs down to almost nothing. Fit is perfect for me. I'm a size 31 waist, and I have to cinch the size S up pretty tight to achieve the fit that Arcteryx says is "ideal". Probably would need 1 size up to wear over winter clothes. Leg loops bruised a bit after a full day of catching a climbing partner that outweighs me 2:1. Haul loop is pretty wimpy. (0 kN rated) No force-bearing haul/accessory loops on back of harness. I am a new climber, doing exclusively outdoor sport climbs at the moment. | |

| Haven't taken any whippers in it yet, but looking forward to it.(that normal?) Would recommend for anyone that is looking to increase comfort and ease of movement (feels non-existent). Cost is up there so I suggest waiting for a member coupon or your yearly dividend, unless you have the green. I was surprised at the stability of the leg loops I was thinking that the edges would curl when weighted. As for the sizing im around a 32/33 and Medium works well with room to spare on waist, legs felt good but I have larger legs | |

| I had been trying to be extra nice and not naughty all year and this is how my hard work was paid off! Imagine my surprise when I ripped off the wrapping paper and was greeted by a shiny box with pure awesomeness inside! It's light and my 32" waist felt pampered as the size large fit over my superbly shaped biker butt. It's fine to hang in and possibly the best thing is that it creates a more desirable mooseknuckle shape than any other harness, which is essential in climbing. | |

Great Harness | |

The R320 is super comfortable and lightweight. It is hardly noticeable when worn and distributes the rope forces very nicely without all a bunch of padding just as it says in the description. The gear loops are solid and hold more than enough draws. It is seems quite durable as well, holding up to wet conditions and general wear nicely. It performed wonderfully on my first super soggy, muddy, and wet trip to the Red and looks like it will be protecting me for many more trips to come. | |

| I was skeptical of paying this much for a harness, cuz honestly, I could use this money towards expanding my rack! But after taking a good look at my harness I decided on trying this thing out and wow! When I'm wearing it I would hardly know its on my body if it weren't for the weight of the gear on the sides! I've taken a whipper or two on it and never felt more secure in a harness! Absolutely no bruising either. Totally worth the cash. | |

| The Arcteryx R320 harness is very light and decetively fragile because it handles a beating very well. It has an auto-locking mechanism on the front which is great: no need to double back the strap and tuck it under like in some harnesses. The sizing chart is accurate although if you have thick legs but an average waist it might be worth going for the XL size. The straps supporting the leg hoops are very thin and only time will tell if they are durable. | |

This is the best gear "investment" I could have made. I have always used Arc'teryx harnesses but this thing raises the bar to a whole new level. Everything from the self-locking buckle to the wear safety markers make this a piece of equipment you can trust. And is it comfortable! I dangled for about 45 minutes from the top of a crag belaying my partners and never once went numb! Just check to make sure you really are wearing it - its that light! | |

| The wrap around waist part of this harness is a dream, but the leg loops are too small! A reviewer for climbing mag found that they lost feeling in their legs while hanging for more than just a brief period of time and I found the exact same thing. For the price, that is not a good thing. Make sure this will fit your legs, not just your waist. | |

Comfortable and light but not worth the extra money | |
| Rating: |  |
I was really exited to try this harness out because of all the great reviews I read. Unfortunately it did not work out for me. I'll start with the good: VERY VERY light and sleek looking, it is also very comfortable to hang in and to take falls. The reason why I sold this to my friend was how it fit while I was on the ground. The leg loops were too tight and the distance between the waist loop and the leg loops was not long enough for my body type. The Petzl Adjama fits much better and I feel is about the same comfort level, only trade off is the weight. Another thing I noticed while comparing the two harnesses, was that the leg loops on the Adjama were more comfortable than the R320, but the waist was not. If you have skinny legs, a short torso, and the extra money this harness will be great for you, but if not save the money and get a Petzl. (Or an Arc'teryx with adjustable leg loops) | |

all up im a little dissapointed with this harness, it's a great sport climbing harness, really comfy to take falls on and hang in, you hardly feel like you are wearing anything while climbing. its not so good for trad climbing when you have to carry alot of gear as it kinda buckles under the weight and is uncomfortable, the angled gear loops tangle ur gear if u load up more than half the length, also the buckle slowly opens during the day so you have to keep tightening it up, i still love this harness for sport climbing, but bought the new bd chaos for trad, which is also super light and even more comfy to hang in, gear loops are better, if u just want to buy 1 harness to cover all bases get the bd | |
