Petzl Luna Harness

For female climbers, the need for a women’s specific harness is paramount. Petzl’s Luna harness not only sits at an affordable price point, but the adjustable, padded leg loops and waistbelt hug the body without causing unwanted pinch points, either. Our tester was quick to note how comfortable the Luna is, especially after wearing in the initially stiff material. 

The Luna comes equipped with five gear loops, so when making the transition from gym climbing to single- or even multi-pitch outdoor climbing, it’s up to the challenge. The front loops are notably stiffer—perfect for hauling gear and easing the use of carabiners—while two side rear loops are more flexible, allowing the comfortable use of a backpack, and a center rear loop is optimized for hauling shoes and remaining gear. 

Bottom Line: Forgiving on both hips and wallet, this harness is prepped for gym and crag—it’s not a beginner option per se, but it will keep beginners comfortable and more intermediate climbers sending.
