The Choucas hip belt from Blue Ice should be familiar to all mountaineers interested in ultra-light gear. As a ruthlessly minimalist harness, it weighs in at just 148 grams – it doesn't get much lighter than this. However, it is important to note that this is specifically a model designed for ski and high-altitude trekkers, where every gram counts. Thoughtfully designed, the leg loops can be opened via quick-release buckles, making it easy to put on even with crampons. Four flexible material loops and two attachment options for ice screw holders complete the package. The Choucas excels in the eternal ice, making it particularly suitable for purists and as an ultra-light backup harness, rather than for comfort-seeking alpine climbers.

Blue Ice has been focussing on very light and compact alpine touring and glacier harnesses for years. The Choucas Light is an extremely light and easy-to-use harness. The waist belt is fastened with an auxiliary clip, and two rope loops are used to tie in. The leg loops also do without real aluminium buckles; the small T-shaped aluminium parts are used to secure them...
