FAQs
What makes the Ocun Twist Tech Harness stand out?
It won the ISPO Award 2023 for its innovative engineering, features a unique moveable waist system for enhanced mobility, and is made from high-quality recycled or bio-based materials.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the provided Size Guide. Measure your waist and leg circumference in centimeters and match them to the XS, S, M, L, or XL options. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit.
Is this harness suitable for all types of climbing?
Yes, it is designed for general climbing, including sport climbing, trad climbing, and gym climbing, offering a balance of comfort, mobility, and safety features.
How should I clean the harness?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse gently and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
What is the purpose of the moveable waist system?
The moveable waist system allows you to adjust the position of the waist belt relative to the leg loops, providing a more customized fit and improving freedom of movement during dynamic climbing actions.
How do I know when to replace the harness?
Regularly inspect the harness for signs of wear, such as fraying, cuts, or damage to stitching and buckles. The integrated wear and tear indicator is a key feature that signals when the harness may have reached the end of its safe lifespan.
Are the materials durable?
Yes, the harness is made from high-quality recycled or bio-based materials, engineered for durability in climbing conditions. The sandwich construction also adds to its resilience and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Harness feels too tight or too loose after adjustment
Re-measure your waist and leg circumference and compare with the size guide. Adjust the slidelock buckles carefully, ensuring the moveable waist system is positioned correctly for your body type and climbing needs.
Discomfort during prolonged climbing sessions
Ensure leg loops and waist belt are not overtightened. The padded sandwich construction is designed for comfort, but improper adjustment can negate this. Try slightly loosening the leg loops or repositioning the waist belt.
Difficulty securing gear on loops
The gear loops are designed for standard carabiners and quickdraws. Ensure carabiners are clipped through the loop correctly. For larger items, consider using the dedicated carrytool slots if applicable.
Wear and tear indicator is visible
This indicates the harness has experienced stress and may be compromised. It is strongly recommended to retire the harness and replace it with a new one for safety reasons.
