Overview
Tying in at the gym or the crag, the Jay IV is a versatile climbing harness whose butterfly shaped waist belt spreads load evenly. Hip padding adjusts through a center fit construction, and the parallel tie-in points are soft and smooth with an enlarged upper tie-in point.
The reason to look at it is the comfort work on the waist belt, which the listing ties to better hanging. The limitation is the O-shape, which suits climbers whose waist and hips are close in size.
Who it's for
Mixed climbing, from indoor sessions to via ferratas and mountaineering, where one harness has to do several jobs. Climbers with very different waist and hip sizes, or anyone under the listed age, should check other options.
Pros and cons
- Butterfly waist belt spreads weight evenly
- Hip padding adjusts through center fit
- Enlarged tie-in and central ring
- Lightweight synthetic build
- Weight capacity not listed
- O-shape suits similar waist and hip
- Only medium covered by this listing
- Leg loop sizing missing from listing
Performance notes
The waist belt shape decides hanging comfort, because a wider butterfly cut spreads load across the back instead of a narrow strap. Hip padding position is set through the center fit construction, so fit is adjusted rather than fixed. An oversized middle ring is aimed at comfort while standing and belaying.
