MTDE Amazonia 2 Caving harness
Likely the most popular caving harness out there for good reason.
Super hard wearing with a very low attachment point for efficient ascending.
The added butt strap makes for more comfort whist ascending.
Middleweight, comfortable and very effective sit harness.
Solid 26mm tape on bumstrap and leg loops (all fully adjustable) gives surprisingly good support- although initially it can feel rather odd! Low central attachment point aids efficient prussiking. Four tape gear loops (two each side), the Amazonia integrates with the Garma chest harness to make an effective set up for rigging, climbing, and general SRT intensive trips.A very nice harness for those wanting a bit more support on rope.

Possibly the best suited for narrow and gnarly caves, because it is quite low profile and tends to sit in place when worn, so it is less likely to catch up on projections.

XL: maximum waist circumference 120 cm (purple attachment point) - Monitor harness with a pants-shaped protection, an integrated knife-holder and a tie designed especially for bags. Efficient for both canyoning and caving.Designed according to the size and vertical height of the steep canyons on the Island of Reunion but also to meet the requirements and needs related to daily supervision, the Mazerin has been created for professionals who often use the rope climbing up system.Like a seat harness, the pant-shaped protection helps you to remain in a well-seated position while suspended in the air for long periods of time.The mobile leg loops that maintain the butt support strap in place are quick to take on and off, and relieve the groin from friction during approaches, exits, or transitions.Tried and tested over many years and on several expeditions, this monitor sit-harness, with its strap to hold knives, its strap provided especially for bags, has proven its ability to perform for both canyoning and caving.
