Taking the lightweight harness to the next level, Petzl uses Frame Construction technology to provide strength while the mesh provides support and helps to distribute weight. Ideal for times when space and weight is at a premium.
The Petzl Men's Hirundos Harness gives you the lightweight, low-profile design you need to tackle the hardest sport routes. Petzl didn't stop there either. They used a perforated closed-cell foam to pad this minimalist harness without inhibiting breathability. You won't sweat like crazy during a summer projecting sesh. The Hirundos Harness has four gear loops to hold all your draws and two Caritool slots to give it the versatility to take it on cutting-edge bolted mixed climbs in the winter.

I *love* this harness. I'm 5'9", 140 pounds, 30" waist, enjoy long walks on the beach and I wear a Medium in the Hirundos (and in the Petzl Sama.) | |

Great sport climbing harness | |

| I ordered the Hirundos because I needed a new sport climbing harness. I wanted a light no frills harness, and was on the fence between the Hirundos and the new Arcteryx harness. Given that the Arcteryx was considerable more expensive, I went with the Hirundos. I haven't been disappointed. The Hirundos is super light and I don't even notice it while climbing. It is also very comfortable, and haven't noticed any pressure points. There are a few things that potential buyers should take into consideration: 1) the leg loops are small for the given waist size (did not bother me b/c I have chicken legs) 2) I like the gear loops (2 plastic and 2 soft) but they are postioned in profile with the waist and sometimes it is hard to get the draws off. Overall this is a very good harness for sport climbing, particularly on hard projects and onsite attempts. | |

A specialized Harness | |
| Rating: | |
| Excellent product, but not the best choice for me. Pros: Very light weight, simple, strong. Would highly recommend for good climbers (just make sure it fits because it does not have adjustable leg straps). Cons: If you are still at a point in your climbing career where you need to sit on your harness at least once during most climbs, this one is to advanced for you! It is not made to be sat in. It is made to keep you from dying if you fall. I traded it for a more comfortable harness, but if I was a better climber I would have definitely kept it. | |

Lightweight, comfortable, great | |

It feels like I'm not wearing a harness at all. It weighs almost nothing at all! It's comfortable to wear whether I'm belaying, climbing, or just sitting down to rest and it's got a great range of motion. Petzl really pulled out all the stops with this one. By measurement I should be on the low half of a Medium but a Small is definitely the way to go for me. If you tend towards the low end of a size you might consider just buying one notch down. | |

I was previously wearing a harness (the Metolius Safe Tech Harness, actually) that made me feel like I was in thigh-tourniquet hell whenever I fell, hung, or belayed someone. I got the Hirundos on a friend's suggestion and I'm so stoked - despite the fact that the padding is minimal, it is unbelievably comfortable. Less bulk also means I'm less of a sweaty monkey on hot days. I'm a fairly small gal (5'6, 103lbs) and the XS was perfect, even though this is a men's harness. | |

comfy ride | |

| The Hirundos really surprised me. I knew it was going to be light, but I wasn't expecting it to be so comfortable. Beyond just sport climbing and cragging, I ended up taking it on quite a few bigger adventures and ice climbs, too. One comment is that the sizing seems a little off: I am normally a medium but the large just feels a little less constrictive, and allows for added winter layers. No biggie -- it's still my favorite harness since the alpine bod. | |

| The thing that's great about this harness is the weight. I'm mostly an indoor climber, so when i come down from a route, if i want to boulder i don't have to take it off. and it's mega easy to put on. the minimalist design allows for extra flexibility in moves, and it fits true to the size. it can dig in to your legs if you hang for too long in it, but overall, its a harness that is well worth the purchase. | |

Awesome! | |

I love this harness! It's really the best one I've ever had. It's great for in the gym or outdoors. It's got 4 gear loops for a full set of quickdraws and some gear if you need it. It's super breathable and light. I love the non-adjustable leg loops and the small belay loop. The green color on the black is also a winner. Everyone will compliment you and ask about it! | |

"Best harness I have owned to this day." | |
| Rating: | |
| Its light, its comfortable, and its stylish,what more can you ask for? The color is just flat out awesome! The waist is super comfortable and breathable for those long days at the crag. The leg loops dont get in the way at all for those long stretchers. This harness is just too bad ass to write a review about...it's hands down the best harness, and quality from petzl!!! | |

Perfect sending harness. Definitely not intended for hangs or long belays. The harness also runs true to size, if not a tad small. I'm a 32/33 waist, 6'2 185 and wear a large. I love this baby at Rumney where the crowds are as thick as the flies and the humidity is tangible. Keeps me light and cool with the vented waistbelt and folded nylon loops. | |
