Using this harness is easy. First, put it on while your feet are on the ground, even if you're wearing skis or crampons. You can quickly open and adjust the leg loops with the Rock&Lock aluminium buckle, even with gloves on. Tie into the color - distinguished loops for safety. Use the gear loops to carry your essential equipment like ice screws. For additional gear, use the PORTER carabiner slots. The elastic loops on the leg loops are great for carrying ice screws comfortably. When it comes to maintenance, keep it dry as the nylon fabric inside doesn't absorb water but it's still a good idea to avoid prolonged wetness. After each use, check the tying loops, gear loops, and buckles for any signs of wear or damage. Store it in the included transport bag to keep it clean and protected. And always refer to the sizing guide to ensure a proper fit for maximum comfort and safety.
