Alpha SL Harness

A lightweight harness designed for ski mountaineering and light alpinism. Measure your waist where the swami sits, between your hip bones and ribs, and your upper thigh where the leg loops sit.

Fit Notes

  • For optimal fit, the tie-in points should overlap by 1.5 cm (0.6 in), with the tie-in points and rear rise elastic tab centred on the body.
  • The leg loops should sit high on the upper thigh and fit snugly without restricting movement.
  • If you can't achieve a proper fit in one size, choose the next size smaller or larger.
  • Do not use the Alpha SL if you are outside the size range in the chart, or if your waist is smaller than 67 cm (26.5 in) or larger than 107 cm (42 in).

Detailed Description

The Alpha SL is Arc’teryx’s lightest harness, built for alpine climbing and ski mountaineering where every gram counts. It still keeps the essentials: two gear loops, adjustable leg loops that open fully so you can put it on over crampons or skis, and loops to carry emergency ice screws for crevasse rescue. As a Superlight piece it prioritises low weight and packability over long-term durability, so it’s best for objectives where weight matters most rather than daily cragging.

Features

  • WARP Strength Fusion Technology™: laminated ALUULA composites and braided ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) are bonded into a low-profile, high-strength chassis. Arc’teryx notes ALUULA is stronger than steel by weight.
  • Load distribution: weight is spread across the waist belt and leg loops for support while hanging and belaying.
  • Braided rise: UHMWPE fibres are spliced together at the rise, then splayed and bonded into the chassis, adding strength without bulk.
  • BraidLock™ leg loops: a glove-friendly “finger-trap” buckle loosens when unloaded and tightens under load, so you can adjust the fit over different layers. The tapered buckle passes easily through the loop to close it.
  • Fully opening leg loops: wrap the harness around you without taking off crampons or skis.
  • Two gear loops: semi-rigid, lightweight and secure.
  • Ice screw loops: low-profile UHMWPE loops carry up to two emergency ice screws.
  • Replaceable rear rise: adjustable with sliding knots, and replaceable to extend the harness’s life.
  • PFAS compliant.

Safety Information

A harness is life-safety equipment. Read the Arc’teryx Alpha SL Harness user manual before use, inspect it before every use, and retire it if it shows damage or wear.
