Tips

When fitting the Choucas Pro, ensure the waist belt sits above your hip bones and the leg loops are snug but not restrictive. For glacier travel, pair with a lightweight locking carabiner and keep the harness in its mesh pouch inside your pack for instant access. Always inspect the tie-in points and webbing before each use, especially after rocky or icy terrain.
