Why We Like The Couloir Ultralight Harness
Black Diamond Couloir Ultralight Harness offers us all of the weight savings and packability we demand from a snow-mission oriented harness. The hydrophobic construction works to prevent icing up while we belay out of an exposed ski line, meanwhile the dual ice screw keepers let us rely on this same harness while we ice climb.

Excellent item, got this bunny
Excellent item, got this bunny ear type harness to use over bulky winter layers. It’s super light and pretty easy to put on after staring at the leg loop retention for a couple minutes haha

Does the trick
Keep in mind, this is an ultralight harness, so there’s really no frills. I wouldn’t want to be hanging from this thing all day, but I do trust it to save my life.

Awesome harness
Awesome harness, sizing is a bit odd. Leg loops feel unproportionally baggy for the waist.

As advertised, high quality
Incredibly compact and lightweight. Not a harness I’d want to hang in long, but it’s not designed for that. Great for ski touring.

Way more comfortable than expected
I hung from this for about 10 minutes seeing if it would cut my circulation off, and was pleasantly surprised. I'll still use a padded harness for most climbing, but the Couloir UL packs dramatically smaller and lighter for alpine use. The design also can be donned without needing to slip over feet, which is really nice if wearing skis or crampons. Make sure to do some local practice before adventures since the design will probably make your tie-in/belay point about 6" higher on your torso than a conventional harness. I was able to do everything normally, my hands were just in different spots and I had to adjust Prussik and ascender strokes for some operations.

Lightweight, lacks features
Ultra lightweight, but not hazing adjustment at the thighs is a bummer

Very impressive
Rappel and ice climb TRS with it and it works great. I thought it would have been uncomfortable but it did it with no issue. Very Impressed by that product. It takes so little place an accomplish so much.

Good harness light and compact
The harness is very well designed, strong and incredibly light. The only set back is the lack of padding which can get uncomfortable without proper pants

Good Harness, what we need it for
Harness works sweet for rappels into couloirs and packs up smaller than a can of pop. Helpful to have in the bag with some carabiners just in case one needs it.
