ARC’TERYX R320

A HARNESS THAT RELIEVES PRESSURE

The most comfortable rock-climbing harness yet distributes the climber’s weight over three times the usual surface area. Its designers fanned out the belt strap’s long, horizontal fibers (removing the vertical ones altogether) and held them in place with 11 layers of glue, fabric and mesh. The same tech could make seatbelts and backpacks stronger and cushier. $125; arcteryx.com
