Dyneema based technical winter mountaineering/alpine or ski mountaineering harness.
Grivel says:
Mistral Light is a hyper light harness made with dyneema and sailing fabric, ideal for ski touring light mountaineering and expeditions.
Extremely compact, you can hold it in the palm of your hand. It’s very easy to wear, even without removing your skis or crampons.
The main construction is from dyneema webbing (for a reduced weight) and Dimension-Polyant’s X-tech sail fabric, which is inherently waterproof and incredibly strong: a high thread density ensures the stability of the fabric and increases its resistance and durability. The aramid fabric will reduce bunching and therefore improve comfort.
Our Verdict
The Mistral Light harness is the first climbing harness I've seen made from Dyneema, the super strong and light material that was developed for the sailing industry. This is one of the lightest harness I've seen and what it lacks in padding or cushioning it more than makes up for in pack size and lightness. This makes it perfect for mixed winter/alpine/ski mountaineering and days were you're not relying on sitting in a comfortable harness. The pack size is tiny and fits in the palm of your hand when folded into its pouch so will take up minimal space in a pack. Although it feels a bit wrong that the material is semi translucent it feels incredible tough and durable. It includes 2 gear loops on the waist and ice screw holders on the leg loops. The metal clips on the leg loops are a clever minimalist design that allow them to be fully opened so it can be put in with mountaineering/ski boots on but feel very secure when fastened.
