The Corax LT has a wide waistbelt and padded leg loops, but unlike the Corax, only the waist is adjustable. There are four gear loops; the two at the front are rigid and the two at the back are flexible. The waistbelt and exterior leg loops are made of recycled polyester, and there is a rear accessory loop for chalk bag, shoes or other gear. It is lighter than the Corax.

I have recently started top-roping indoors, and wanted to pick up a harness so I didn't have to rent anymore, and I found that the weight of this alone is a huge improvement over the gym harnesses.The weight, and comfortability of this harness made it not very bothersome at all when climbing, and during a dead hang and lower, I found that the harness was extremely comfortable for me, especially on the back of the legs.I have only used this for gym climbing, so I cannot speak to the gear loops.The elastic on the leg adjusters may be bothersome to some, as I have noticed that the elastic is rather tight, and seems to not be made for very large thighs, however this does not affect me.

I choose this harness instead of the new Black Diamond Momentum because it has a rear haul loop in addition to the four gear loops. I don't know why the B.D. Momentum no longer has that rear loop, but I find it useful and am surprised the newest one didn't have it like my previous harnesses.I wasn't sure about the Petzl Corax leg loops since they are not adjustable, but that does not seem to be a problem; if the legs fit well I never adjust them anyway.I also like the softer gear loops as compared to the B.D. harness.

To start my frame of reference is the Petzl Corax (original). It's 6 years old so decided it was time to replace it. We went with Corax LT based on our results with original Corax. My wife got the Womens version. The difference is very dissapointing.We both felt that the fit was wrong. The leg straps fit nice for me and don't move around. The single adjust for the harness on the waist is nice. To stand or walk around they are fine. For me the legs and waist do not have enough padding. I could not get the adjustment right on my waist and it was painful both climbing and belaying. The leg straps adjusted ok but were not comfortable hanging on the wall or on falls on top rope or leading. I just didn't like it.My wife didn't like the leg fit and was unhappy with it ... MoreTo start my frame of reference is the Petzl Corax (original).

This new LT version we assume means "light weight" and they stripped out padding. It seems that this new version is their cheaper version at $60. Which is about what we spent on the original one.We returned them and ordered the $80 versions. Petzl Adjama and Luna. Those seem to have the padding and fit of our original.If your budget won't allow the $80 version then this one will work as long as you don't mind it being more uncofortable.

Y’all the tiny leg loops thing is real. I’m 6’, 170lbs, medium in most things, 31/32x32 in pants. Above the knee my leg is about 16” circumference, mid way up about 20” and around where my thighs touch 23”. I don’t know where that ranks on the chicken leg spectrum but these leg loops still feel a bit tight. Climbing is FINE in them for me but it’s something I’m still aware of compared to adjustable leg loop harnesses.This is gonna be fine for a gym harness but of four harnesses I’ve owned, this is probably the least comfy, which is a bummer since I regard Petzl highly.
Having received the Petzl Corax LT Men's Harness in the mail I was initially thinking that's awfully lightweight and am unsure how it will hold up on some longer climbs.Having invested in a big wall harness the previous year and looking for a harness that would not only be able to handle a double and potentially triple rack, comfort was at the top of the list as the trait I needed.Taking the Petzl Corax LT to Joshua Tree National Park would help me decide if this new harness was going to be something I wore a few times or a lot of times.Climbing up Dappled Mare (3 Pitches) on a windy day (of course the winds were higher than projected) I wore the new Corax LT harness and clipped double rack onto the large gear loops. I was surprised at how well the harness fit ... MoreHaving received the Petzl Corax LT Men's Harness in the mail I was initially thinking that's awfully lightweight and am unsure how it will hold up on some longer climbs.Having invested in a big wall harness the previous year and looking for a harness that would not only be able to handle a double and potentially triple rack, comfort was at the top of the list as the trait I needed.Taking the Petzl Corax LT to Joshua Tree National Park would help me decide if this new harness was going to be something I wore a few times or a lot of times.Climbing up Dappled Mare (3 Pitches) on a windy day (of course the winds were higher than projected) I wore the new Corax LT harness and clipped double rack onto the large gear loops. I was surprised at how well the harness fit to the hips, the speed buckle provided a smooth transition between tightening and loosening without compromising any safety or comfort. The gear loops were large enough to hold all the gear and have extra space.The leg loops (no extra tension straps) were comfy, fit snug but not to the point where I felt I needed them to loosen. They stretched as needed when bringing my leg up for high feet moves and when at the belay staying I was comfy in the harness, not something I had expected. It also held up well in some off widths in sharp Joshua Tree Granite, having to stuff legs, bodys, arms, etc into off width jams the harness came out well after rubbing against a range of rocks at different angles (no frays or damage).On two more trips to local crags I was pleasantly surprised at how much I was enjoying the harness, on sport and trad routes. It doesn't even feel like I'm wearing anything at times but when I do need to take on a project or take a fall it was there and felt secure.The color initially was not something I was psyched about but the more I wear it, the more it grows on me, it's definitely nice to have something other than a grey or black harness to wear.I'm excited to keep taking this harness out and hope to get some more time with me and would recommend this to folks looking to cut a few ounces off their base weight without taking away comfort or safety. Will be a great gym harness too, something to always keep in the car (out of sunlight and high temps).
This is a solid, comfortable, durable, and nearly perfect harness. First, let's look at the basics. The harness has a lightly padded waist belt, a smooth buckle system, a rear accessory loop, and 4 gear loops. The front loops are rigid to help you access your quickdraws and biners easily, and the rear loops are floppy so they don't get in the way if you're wearing a backpack.Here are some things I really like about this harness:The leg loops are elasticized and are not adjustable. My previous harness was the same way, and I have found no downsides to this setup. Unless your thighs are very large or very small relative to your waist proportion, the elastic will be comfortable and likely saves a little weight compared to buckle adjustments.Despite the waist loop ... MoreThis is a solid, comfortable, durable, and nearly perfect harness.

Unless your thighs are very large or very small relative to your waist proportion, the elastic will be comfortable and likely saves a little weight compared to buckle adjustments.Despite the waist loop being wider than my previous harness, this one is slightly lighter. The wider wrap didn't feel intrusive and should provide more comfort when hanging in the harness or belaying for longer periods of time.I really like the placement of the waist strap end-keeper loop thing on this harness! On my previous one, it is so far along the waist loop that the strap end barely reaches it (I'm a 34" waist, and the L size on both harnesses is for 33"-36", so it should be the proper size for me).The gear loops have more overall space than my previous harness. You lose some small accessory loops in between the front and rear loops, but I never used those. And the Corax still keeps the accessory loop in the back - in fact it is larger, so that's even nicer. Having said this, I have never run out of space on my old harness, but I also have not done any trad multi-pitch climbs. If I did, I would probably appreciate the extra gear space more.I really have only two small complaints about this harness - judge for yourself if they apply to you. The first is that the tie-in loops are a little chunky. They are reinforced, which should help reduce wear. But right now they are a bit stiff, and the chunkiness makes it slightly more cumbersome to thread rope through. Not a big deal, and maybe they will soften up as it wears in. In the long run, the extra reinforcement could be more of a plus than a drawback if it extends the life of the harness.The second minor quibble is that the harness didn't come with a bag. If you don't use your harness bag, good for you! You'll enjoy the responsible and less wasteful packaging provided (cardboard open-concept box). But I keep a few things in my harness bag: tape, brush, spare ATC and biner, and gym ID card. I also clip my shoes and belay glasses to the outside of the bag so everything is where I need it when I head to the climbing gym. Again, your needs may be different than mine.Overall, I feel like this harness is a great value and provides good features and durability without being heavy or feeling bulky. Would recommend!See the attached pictures for comparisons of the new (blue) harness to my previous one (red).
I've been using this harness for about 2 weeks now, and have climbed in it about 7 times. Let met start by saying that I already own an older Petzl Corax that is probably about 8 years old at this point. I am not sure how many udpates Petzl has made to this line over the years, but I have to say that this newer version has incorporated good changes to some of the things I actually dislike about my old one. Definite improvements are: fits truer to size. I am 6' 180lbs with a moderate/athletic build and the harness fits way better in both the waist and the leg loops. The leg loops no longer have buckles and the waist loop only has one buckle. The quality is still the same strong Petzl construction you expect, and the belay and tie-in loops are solid.

The leg loops no longer have buckles and the waist loop only has one buckle. The quality is still the same strong Petzl construction you expect, and the belay and tie-in loops are solid. So far I have only used this indoors in a gym, but when on the wall and under strain it was super comfortable. The rise straps are also redesigned to the simpler system which makes it pretty much impossible to get the leg loops twisted as always seemed to happen with my older version. Overall, this is a well-built and definitely a comfortable harness.
I tested this harness out over a couple of weeks of climbing.Here's what I loved:- I love that it comes in bright colors. I know this has no effect on its usability, but I love colorful outdoor gear.- I love the waist buckle. It may seem like a small thing, but the buckle is solid metal and allows the strap to double back in a straight-forward way. This makes it simple for me and I didn't spend time wondering if I'd doubled it back correctly or worrying if it was going to slip.What I didn't love:- The leg straps are not adjustable. The padded portion is connected by an elastic strap. The elastic stretches to provide a snug fit around the thighs. For me, it just didn't provide enough adjustability. My thighs are thick.

During climbing, I didn't really notice it. On the ground belaying, I found the leg straps to be uncomfortable with no way to adjust them.- The second thing was really just a question. The elastic straps that connect the leg straps to the back of the waist belt have a plastic buckle. I do not know why this would need to be unbuckled. I didn't have any trouble with it, but over the long term I have some concerns about that being a weak point.Overall I'd say it is a good harness. You certainly won't be disappointed, but leg straps leave a little to be desired.
This is one solid no-nonsense harness that is built to last. Its simple, utilitarian design makes it a good option for beginners and intermediate climbers. Some things I really liked about it:1) The elastic leg loops did not have buckles or adjustments to stay simple. These are great for beginners, since it takes out any question of how tight things should be or if things are buckled correctly. While I am an experienced climber, having a harness like this as part of my gear makes a good go-to for lending to friends who are less familiar with the sport.2) There is nothing that needs to be double-backed; it's quick and easy to put on and keeps things from getting twisted or tangled in my climbing backpack.3) The back straps that attach the leg loops to the ... MoreThis is one solid no-nonsense harness that is built to last.

If things happened to get tangled, it would be easy to fix quickly.4) The construction seems simple but very solid. The padding is where you need it, but nowhere that you don't so it doesn't feel bulky or stiff.5) Not essential, but the color is great. It is bright but not obnoxiously so.6) Dedicated loop for a chalk bag in the back of the waistband; no need to share a loop with quickdraws.7) The tie-in points are reinforced with a smooth material and are large enough to easily get a rope through for setting up. I've had several former harnesses where this is tight and awkward--this is a nice feature!Things I would change:1) This runs at least a size small. I am usually a size 30/32 waist, and would normally be a small/medium for harnesses; with this model I think a large would have been a better fit.2) I don't love the gear loops construction. They are covered in a sturdy fabric, but the plastic semi-circle inner piece is not actually connected to the harness for strength; the fabric is the only thing holding it to the harness. I'm sure it's plenty strong for lighter climbing, but it causes the gear loops to collapse down at your sides once weighted with gear and that makes it difficult to clip and unclip carabiners to gear loops. Because of this, it's a great gym harness or beginner harness where hauling lots of gear or pieces isn't needed. I used it outdoor and had gear on both loops, but I am not sure they would last as long as I'd want for consistent outdoor use with multiple pieces (quickdraws, cams, etc.).
This is my first harness ever , and I can say that it works just fine. It’s not very comfortable holding full body weight and hanging for long periods of time, but for short periods it works just fine. It’s very lite and the leg loops are just fine. I’m usually in between an XL and an L so I decided to go with an XL and again works just fine, but I think I’d go with a large next time. My waist ranges from 34 to 38 at any given time of the year, but I’m pretty confident that a large would’ve been just fine for my size ranges.
