SALEWA Ortles Harness warm olive/dark denim

The Ortles is a lightweight, minimalist, compact harness for ski mountaineering, glacier crossing and high-altitude mountaineering. It features the variable-width webbing, which allows minimum width at the buckles in order to save weight, whilst wider sections at high pressure areas absorb the resulting forces and distribute them evenly over the entire harness, providing unparalleled comfort. Dual SALEWA Easy-Slide buckles at the waist provide high safety and are easy to adjust when adding or removing layers, even when gloved up. The leg loop buckles can be completely unthreaded to allow the harness to be put on without taking off your skis or crampons.

Vario Webbing
In the harnesses of the Rock line and the Via Ferrata Vario, special webbing material is used, the width of which varies: in the area of the buckles it is narrow, in order to be able to use the smallest possible buckles and thus save weight. In those areas where the load is highest, on the other hand, it is wide, absorbing the resulting pressure and distributing it evenly over the entire surface. This is how the harnesses achieve their unparalleled comfort.
