Like a Ferrari around your legs and waist, the C.A.M.P. (camp-usa.com) Quartz CR3 is svelte, high performing, and highly customizable. New for 2009, C.A.M.P.’s harness is a sport/trad marriage of light — 15.8oz — and right. The right comes from welcome flourishes like a foldoverpadding, slide-through waistbelt; auto-locking fast-pull buckles; full-strength haul loop; patented Flat Link adjustable rise, featuring low-profile elastic straps threading a flat rear panel; and the patented No Twist Belay Loop. Now go vanquish your project in style!

DO THE (NO) TWIST
Eliminate cross-loading with this nifty invention, a locker-diameter, Hypalon-lined biner-retention hole between two of the loop’s three bar tacks.

KINDER, GENTLER WAISTBELT
The Quartz CR3 lets you easily adjust the position of the waistbelt padding and tie-in point, so you can finetune a perfect fit. The belt’s 4mm, super-perforated EVA padding includes a honeycomb-mesh enclosure with three-dimensional structure, to increase airflow and breathability — i.e., no more “soggy-waistbelt syndrome.” The padding also folds over the top of the waistbelt — highly comfortable, especially against bare or sweaty skin.

EDGE-LOADED
Comfortable edge tape along the leg-loop borders distributes weight (when you’re hanging) or force (when you whip) throughout the loops, which are padded with the same material as the waistbelt.
