The perfect climbing partner
MONTIS – ultra light, super comfortable
At approximately 300 grams the MONTIS, our mountaineering harness, is both light as a feather and extremely comfortable. Clever details like Friction Buckles help us to achieve minimum weight.
Light & comfortable. Either light or comfortable – we demanded both! The MONTIS weighs in at only 300 grams but offers a level of comfort not seen so far in this type of harness. Sit down, try it, feel good.
Technically sophisticated. The MONTIS is a harness designed by mountaineers for mountaineers, which is full of innovative design solutions. One of them is the Friction Buckle – an adjustable shoulder strap which does not use a metal buckle.
Total flying fun. Far more than a harness for top-to-bottoms: The MONTIS is designed with sophisticated geometry that ensures balanced pilot weight distribution to minimise any pressure points. This geometry allows smooth and comfortable thermalling.

The MONTIS is aimed at mountaineers who are looking for a minimalist harness which is both super light and comfortable. The MONTIS can be used in conjunction with the INVERTO – a clever reversible rucksack – to make a well thought-out hike & fly package with a comfortable, spacious rucksack and an airbag that protects the pilot’s posterior and back.
Features
Lightness for demanding pilots
Harnesses with the label Light Weight are extremely light and are ideally suited for mountaineering. Normally these types of harnesses have no protection – but we use protection systems which can be adapted. This gives the pilot the option to choose: depending on the intended use, the harness can be flown with or without an airbag.
Size matters
Our S and L sizes are not just scaled copies of the M size. We take time to ensure that every size is designed with its appropriate geometry. As well as the width of the seat and the length of the webbing, the height of the carabiner hang points is one aspect which requires experience in positioning. The result is Tailor-made Geometry: every pilot has the optimal seat position – no more “off the peg” disproportional geometry!
The lightest buckle in the world
A buckle without the buckle: Friction Buckles fasten the shoulder straps by friction. Dynema cords are looped through one another. With friction, they are fixed in the desired position.
To change the length of the shoulder straps, all that is required is to loosen the straps, select the desired position and pull tight.
This solution is not only innovative – it saves weight without losing functionality. Friction Buckles are perfect for lightweight hike & fly harnesses, where every gram counts.
Comfortable lightness
Harnesses without seat plates have now become a common alternative to ones with a seat plate. This is why we developed Split Loops: separate leg supports provide both comfort and excellent steering precision. Harnesses with split loops also have the advantage of being lightweight and pack extremely small. This emphasises our efforts to make paragliding as simple and uncomplicated as possible.

Accessories
The MONTIS is complemented perfectly by the INVERTO, a cleverly designed reversible rucksack, which converts the pure mountaineering harness into a hike & fly harness with a high degree of passive safety. The airbag in the INVERTO not only protects the posterior (as is the case with other harnesses of this type), but also the back area. The rucksack is very spacious and is very comfortable to carry.
