Clean, simple & lightweight, yet comfortable & supportive

This comfortable waist harness with leg straps is ideal for experienced backcountry snowkiters venturing deep into mountains, or riders looking for a lightweight comfortable fit alternative to the classic spreader bar system. The Connect Backcountry has been designed like a rock climbing harness so that it will not ride up.

Webbing chicken loop connection

Heavy duty webbing loop to connect the chicken loop, reducing size and weight of the harness. Three step connection - release chicken loop, feed loop through webbing, reload chicken loop.

Ergonomic shaping

Strong internal structure

Plastic layers along the back section with full length webbing support for ideal load distribution and extra strength.

Leg support straps

Comfort grip fit

Extra padded areas for increased comfort and neoprene lining for a strong grip/hold on winter clothing. It also protects better against the cold.

Lightweight construction

Strong yet lightweight construction for backcountry touring – weighs only 700 grams!
