A CORAX For Every Climber

Designed to meet the needs of climbers who are looking for gear that is easy-to-use, durable, and affordable. Our DISCOVER range can take you where you want to go, from the first time you tie in. There are two harnesses in the CORAX family. The original CORAX comes in two sizes (1 & 2) and three colors (DARK GRAY, DARK RED, & NAVY BLUE). It features a dual-buckled waistbelt and adjustable leg loops to dial in your optimal fit. The CORAX LT comes in a women's specific version: CORAX LT WOMEN, and is available in five sizes (XS-XL) and four colors (DARK GRAY & INDIGO BLUE for CORAX LT; LILAC WHITE & CORAL SAND for CORAX LT WOMEN). The CORAX LT sports a waistbelt with a single buckle and fixed leg loops for a streamlined fit.

Comfortable and Easy to Use

All CORAX harnesses were designed to provide superior comfort. They feature a wider waistbelt and padded leg loops for an exceptionally comfortable fit. Additionally, their FRAME Technology construction redistributes weight across the waistbelt and leg loops. These harnesses also have great gear-carrying capacity, with two rigid gear loops in the front that make it easy to clip and unclip quickdraws and two flexible loops in the rear that allow gear to slide forward for easier access. The flexible design means you can comfortably wear a pack with the harness. A rear loop allows you to clip on accessories, like a chalk bag, shoes, quick link, or tag line. This is often useful for multi-pitch climbing. They're also compatible with CARITOOL EVO tool holders for racking ice screws.

The cherry on top? The CORAX harness has an eco-friendly design: the waistbelt and leg loop exterior fabric is made with 100% recycled polyester!

The BOREA Helmet — Always an Essential

Another product from the DISCOVER range being updated in 2024, the new BOREA helmet will be a favorite among climbers! The easy-to-adjust, semi-rigid OMEGA headband features a notch for wearing the helmet with a ponytail. It's just as comfortable as ever, for every activity. Equally suited to climbing, mountaineering, caving, via ferrata, and even canyoning, its hallmark is its versatility. The new design features a large number of vents, and its grooved foam interior facilitates air flow.

The Helmet That Does It All

The BOREA is a durable helmet with reinforced protection. Its hard outer shell resists shocks and scratches for optimum durability. Its headband retracts inside the helmet for easy storage and to prevent damage during transport. Its protective design is lower in the rear, and offers optimal protection against rockfall and impacts to the side, front, and rear of the head (Petzl TOP AND SIDE PROTECTION label). The BOREA is available in one size (headband adjustable between 52 and 58cm) and three colors (LILAC WHITE, NAVY BLUE, and JUNGLE GREEN). Wear it once and you'll never go back!
