The Puma is DMM's first female specific climbing harness. The styling and features match the popular unisex Renegade harness, but it has subtle changes in sizing and ratios of dimensions to ensure the best possible female fit, and it retains all the technical features.

This is because quite often the rise between women's leg loops and the waist belt is longer. We’ve had the ladies at DMM, local female climbers and sponsored women climbers involved throughout the design process.

Top British climbers, Lucy Creamer and Silvia Fitzpatrick, have been amongst many who tested the Puma prior to it's launch and they were both impressed by its comfort.

Lucy commented: "When being lowered or abseiling the harness retains its shape well. Good fit and doesn't feel too bulky. Really like the number of gear loops - the seventh one at the back is very useful."

Silvia really liked the new structural webbing legs which she felt spread the load better on stances and in falls.

The Puma is essentially a dedicated female equivalent of the Renegade. It's an all-round harness which excels for bolt clipping, trad routes, and winter days out. As per the Renegade it features adjustable leg loops, 7 gear loops, a hypalon ice screw racking system and the floating waist belt that keeps all your gear symmetrical around your waist.

The Puma comes in three sizes

• XS 23 - 28
• S 27 - 32
• M 30 - 35 inches
