Developed in collaboration with BD Athlete Adam Ondra, the airNET is a cutting-edge harness built for the Olympics.

Featuring patented airNET Technology—which is ultra-breathable for high-end performance while distributing loads evenly across the “net” during falls—the airNET also includes a patented Infinity Loop for belaying, which is durable, low profile, and eliminates the dreaded belay-loop-shift when dogging a route and the belay loop seam catches.

At 235 grams (men’s medium) Black Diamond has included two pressure molded gear loops in the front while keeping the rear gear loops low-profile webbing—a request from Ondra who had cut the back gear loops from his competition harnesses to save weight and reduce bulk. Black Dynex lower and upper tie-in points are durable and light, and the seamless, taped edges of the waistbelt and leg-loops proved next-to-skin comfort during intense redpoints.
