The Helia II, by Edelrid, is a versatile harness that is particularly comfortable to wear.
This comfort is thanks to its three-dimensionally pre-shaped waistbelt and leg loops, which benefit from 3D Pad technology. This technology involves placing padding strategically, only where it is truly needed.
In practice, the sides of the waistbelt are heavily padded, unlike the section located at the spine. The leg loops feature additional padding at the back, as well as stabilizing elements that help them retain their shape.
Combined with the butterfly shape of the waistbelt, the two-part load strap ensures optimal load distribution.
Thanks to its O-shape specially designed for this harness model, the waistbelt padding adapts perfectly to the body shape of climbers who have the same width at the waist and hips.
Additionally, the large central ring improves comfort when standing and during belaying.
With its five gear loops, the Helios offers all the space needed and allows for good organization. At the front, two large pre-shaped gear loops angled outward provide quick access to equipment.
The adjustable leg loop buckles feature a textile coating that protects them from wear.
For a harness in this comfort category, the Helios boasts a reduced weight and compact size thanks to its construction.
The textured outer material and elasticated elements in neutral tones give it a modern, clean look.
In summary, the Helios stands out for its exceptional fit and comfort, as well as its optimal force distribution.
A fully comfortable harness for sport climbing routes, multi-pitch climbing, and extended periods of suspension that can otherwise be demanding.
