Choucas Light Harness

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is my go-to harness for ski mountaineering. It’s insanely light—barely noticeable in the pack—but still has everything I need for glacier travel and steep ski lines. The leg loop system is a game changer for transitions with crampons or skis still on."

When we're counting grams and chasing big alpine lines, the Blue Ice Choucas Light Harness is the tool we trust to move fast and stay safe. Weighing in at just 84 grams, it’s one of the lightest certified ski harnesses available, designed for high-output objectives where space, weight, and function matter most. Whether we’re roping up for a glacier crossing or climbing to a high col in full gear, the Choucas Light keeps things simple, light, and secure.

Despite its minimalist weight, this harness doesn’t skimp on the features we need. Two gear loops and ice screw keepers give us solid organization for quick-access tools, and the fast-opening leg loops let us suit up without removing skis or crampons—a critical detail when we’re perched on icy terrain. UIAA-certified for ski mountaineering competitions and proven on big peaks like K2, the Choucas Light is a serious harness for serious objectives.
