The device for adjusting and clamping a strap comprises superposed first and second rings to define a slot for the strap to pass through. The second ring presses on the first ring. The slot for the strap to pass through is bounded by an outer edge of the second ring and an inner edge) of the first ring. The two rings are movable with respect to one another so that the slot for the strap to pass through is of variable thickness. A bottom surface of the first ring opposite the top surface of the first ring has a textured area provided with several salient elements designed to form an increased friction area between the strap and the bottom surface of the first ring. The textured area is separated from the outer edge of the second ring by the slot for the strap to pass through.

The carabiner comprises a body associated with a gate able to rotate on a first end of the body between a closed position and an open position of the carabiner. A confinement element is configured to form a first stop and a second stop salient from the body. The confinement element is fitted removable with respect to the body. The confinement element is fixed to the body by a first fastener and a second fastener. A joining part connects the first fastener to the second fastener to define the space separating the first stop and the second stop. The joining part is pressed against the body. The body, the gate and the joining part define a carabiner with a single central ring.

The harness includes a belt, a pair of thigh loops and first and second lateral attachment points. At least the first lateral attachment point includes a connector fixed to the belt. The connector is provided with a body defining: at least one pass-through opening inside which an attachment element to the belt passes, a connection ring distinct from the at least one pass-through opening, the connection ring being closed by means of a closing element fitted in removable manner. The closing element and the body define at least one through hole distinct from the at least one pass-through opening and from the connection ring. The closing element separate the connection ring and the at least one through hole.

Harness

The fixing buckle includes first and second securing parts provided with coupling elements one of which defines a hook. A closure system is configured to define a first position preventing extraction of the first coupling elements from the second coupling elements and a second position allowing insertion and extraction of the first coupling elements. The closure system includes first and second closure plates each having a first position obstructing the hook and a second position configured to remove the first coupling elements. The first position of the first closure plate is configured to prevent movement of the second closure plate from its first position to its second position. The second closure plate separates the first coupling elements and the first closure plate along an extraction channel defined by the hook.

The roping harness comprises a pair of leg loops and a suspension point. The suspension point comprises: The two rings are separated from one another by a first distance in a first direction and define an empty space between a first lateral surface of the first ring and a second lateral surface of the second ring. The two rings are arranged so as to allow fitting of the rod of the connector in the two rings. The rod presents a longitudinal axis coinciding with the first direction. The rod is fitted movable in rotation in the two rings and the connector is mounted movable in rotation around the rod.
