Question 1

Hello, I have an Arc'teryx AR-395a harness. Can it be used for via ferrata with an EN 958 energy-absorbing lanyard? If yes, where should the lanyard be attached: girth-hitched to the belay loop or through both tie-in points? I’m asking because the AR-395a

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello there, thank you for reaching out with your question about using the AR‑395a harness for via ferrata. The AR‑395a is a climbing harness built to UIAA/EN standards for roped climbing, and it is compatible with EN 958‑certified energy‑absorbing via ferrata lanyards. For attachment, the correct method is to clip or girth‑hitch the via ferrata lanyard to the belay loop, which is the load‑bearing connection point designed to handle multi‑directional forces. Via ferrata lanyards should not be attached through both tie‑in points, as that configuration is intended specifically for tying in with a rope and does not distribute load the same way during a via ferrata fall.

Question 2

What size should I get if I am a large in pants/shorts? Will a large be too big on me? I am 6'1 and 180 pounds

Hello, thanks for your question! Since this item cannot be returned due to safety and health considerations, we strongly suggest trying it on in-store before purchasing. You can also refer to the sizing chart on the product page, which includes body measurements to help you find the best match for your waist and thigh circumference. That said, here are some key measurements for the Size Large: swami length: 97.3 cm, leg loop circumference: 61.6 cm, belay loop length: 24.0 cm. If you’d like help comparing sizes or need additional guidance, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to assist! https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/help/contact

Question 3

Are the gear loops rated?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. Our gear loops are not weight-rated because they’re not designed to support your weight or your partner’s while belaying. Instead, they’re intended for racking gear, keeping your essentials within reach. We hope this helps!

Question 5

Bonjour, comment nettoyer ce baudrier? Quel produit utiliser?

Charlie · Accepted Answer

Bonjour Annita. Les instructions de lavage sont les mêmes que pour nos sacs. Frottez le baudrier à l’aide d’une éponge ou d’une brosse souple et de l’eau claire, avec éventuellement un détergent doux, puis rincez bien le sac afin d’éliminer tout résidu de détergent. Pour en savoir plus, suivez les instructions de lavage sur notre page d'information d'entretien sous la catégorie "tout le reste" et "sac à dos" : https://arcteryx.com/ca/fr/help/product-care/wash-dry-everything-else/

Question 6

Will the 2024 AR 395 Men's harness be available in an XS?  It's been so long since this size was available.

JGall · Accepted Answer

Thank you for your response, but I have used "Notify Me" this for a year and a half but have never received an email or seen where the XS is available.  I called the company and was told the same thing you said below. What am I doing wrong?

Question 8

Hello,

Is there any difference between the women's and men's harnesses besides the dimensions? Could a comparable women's harness be used by a man? I.e. Purchase a women's L instead of a men's M?

Seymour · Accepted Answer

Hello there,

All of our harnesses will have the same safety and quality standards. The main difference will be the dimensions. 

More stock of the Men's AR-395a Harness will be available closer to the end of summer.
