Climbing harnesses are protective equipment that you wear when climbing so you can attach yourself to the rope. Climbing harnesses should fit correctly and allow a wide range of movement, whilst maintaining a high level of safety. It's important to buy a proper fitting harness to avoid pain from the leg loops being too tight, and to ensure that you cannot slip out of it during a fall. Sit harnesses are most commonly used in rock climbing though full body harnesses are popular for kids, as they are more difficult to slip out of. 

We stock a massive range of adult and kids climbing harnesses from leading brands such as Petzl and DMM, for all types of climbing. We have great value for money lines for entry level beginner climbers, and a high end performance range for where every gram and design feature counts. Pus everything in-between!

Try and remember that the fit is the most important factor when buying your climbing harness, colours and aesthetics should be secondary considerations. Your harness should last 5 to 6 years with a decent amount of use, so it's important you choose the right one.
