Lightest Tactical Rappel Harness on the Market - Arc'teryx Leaf E220 Rigger's Harness

#arcteryx #leaf
A super lightweight harness, that can be worn as a belt in your uniform. The leg loops can be packed super compact in a pocket. If you want to rappel, you can pull them out and apply them fast.
Specifically designed for military or law enforcement tactical operations. Indeed a good piece of tactical gear.

Very nice. Arc'teryx makes great gear.

[@aintgonnaworrynomore]

Thanks for the explanation of the set up.

[@J.Grello]

I've got an x350 climbing harness. Works great but doesn't like battle belts. Kinda sketchy but it works.

[@volkerreichel5253]

Du meintest wohl replace im Sinne von ersetzen als remoove im Sinne von entfernen, wenn wegen zu großer Abnutzung das Material leider.
Danke für deine informativen und sachlich kompetenten Videos.

[@ripperkon]

Danke.
Ja, da hast du mich wohl richtig verstanden. Aber entfernen/vernichten sollte es man es ja am besten auch :)
Denke mir beim Schneiden der Videos auch manchmal, was mir da durch den Kopf ging. Die Schlaufen seitlich habe ich auch nicht als „Loops“ bezeichnet 😅

[@TheQuantumPotato]

Just a point: I know your setup with the sling solves this issue, but per the manual, you should not use a single D or HMS carabiner. Either use a multidirectional carabiner like a Petal Omni (or use a Quick Link), or use two HMS carabiners with gates opposed. The reason for this is that it is possible for a single carabiner to be triaxially loaded with this harness.

[@ripperkon]

Yes, thank you for the addition.
For most situations the carabiner will still be strong enough. I think the possibility of manipulating the gate is a higher risk.

[@TheQuantumPotato]

​@@ripperkon Yes, I agree. The triaxial loading is unlikely to cause an issue but just thought I'd mention it as technically it could. Thanks for the video!

[@AlphaSierraTactical]

Hätte ich echt so Bock drauf. Freut mich wenn es mal ein Wochenende mit uns klappt. Mal sehen wann wir ein Termin finden :)

[@DrJapan]

Very good informative video. Very good English! really really good review and explanation !!!

[@justinc7751]

😳great work! One day I’ll get to your level 🙏💪stay safe ✌️

[@aegypiusmonachus]

Interesting, this would make sense as a backup harness in case the main one was damaged.

[@kontraxt]

This is so cool

[@Abdu572]

Can you make vedio of how to retrive the rope? If you are solo and rabeled down

[@Rangetechus]

That extended loop with the extended length to your rappel device is also much safer when used with a prussik off a leg loop.

[@ripperkon]

Why should the prusik in a leg loop be safer?

[@INEEDBABYPOWDER]

You're such a bad ass!

[@RiverGreen58]

Thanks for your video ! You think it’s possible to use leg loop with frog pro belt operator and his Alpin ring?
Thanks

[@Mack_Dingo]

I'm pretty sure getting out of that suit to use the 'toilet' is just as awkward as that belt

[@chasingsunset9801]

Man your a beast

[@tbne712]

Cooles System.
Wo ist denn diese schöne Abseilstelle zu finden?

[@ripperkon]

Finde ich auch.
Das ist die Abseilstelle beim Aussichtsfelsen im Donautal. Eigentlich macht man das eher in zwei ca. 30m Abseillängen.

[@sparkrain3580]

Wie heißt der geile "Seilschutz"? (Bei 0:38)

[@sipper.sipper]

what coveralls are you wearing?

[@lastEvergreen]

What is that carabiner you used to clip the leg loops to the belt?

[@Rennfahrer555]

Who makes the rope bag ?

[@ripperkon]

It is selfmade. But md-Textil makes some cool ones, that are also fast to remove from the leg.

[@richard_steen]

What brand of gloves are those?🤙🏻

[@ripperkon]

Mechanix. Not really made for this. But they survived quite well.
And I have the felling, that the synthetic ones survive better over time. Especially when they are exposed to wet conditions from time to time.

[@richard_steen]

@@ripperkon Cool. I use Petzl Cordex for rappelling, the take a beating quite nice!

[@pjccwest]

🙂

[@nemethszabolcs2214]

Nice rig, but... I wouldn't use that bowline there. That knot can slip if you load it like this. Be careful with it! :) Use a maillon and some short sling, much safer in my humble opinion

[@ripperkon]

I know about the „single“ bowline to slip. But mit about the double one.
Do you have a source for the information?
Thank you for that 💪🏻

[@nemethszabolcs2214]

@@ripperkon no, but i will try it tomorrow. I'll let you know the results! :)

[@ripperkon]

Thank you very much 💪🏻
But good thing is, that the sling has got a carabiner on the end. So even if it would slip, the carabiner would stop it. And as long as the carabiner is clipped in, it is even safer.
In Germany and Austria this kind of bowline is often used to make an anchor sling from a 120cm sling.

[@Rennfahrer555]

Yea i agree ... id just leave the locker .... its a bomber belay loop and you can never have too many lockers

[@AMC-eq3jr]

[@tom_olofsson]

A bowline is knot so special. 🤓

[@ripperkon]

Not for an interested climber. But I am sure, even a lot of „normal“ climbers will need multiple tries to tie the bowline like that.
At least that was, what I experienced 😅
