CANYONING HARNESSES High anchor point and low anchor point

What usage criteria do you prioritize❓
High or low attachment point❓
The eternal question when choosing a canyoning waist harness!
In the world of canyoning, the location of the attachment point can make a big difference in comfort, performance, and safety. It’s not just about preferences—it’s about goals, difficulty, technical maneuvers, and the type of descent.

⬆️ High attachment point (pressure and balance zone: mid-abdomen):
✔️ Better balance control during vertical downward progression
✔️ Lower risk of flipping (especially for beginners)
🔸 Ideal for athletes who prioritize greater comfort and safety in vertical descending maneuvers.
