FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by DMM, which usually indicates waist and leg loop measurements for each size. Measure your waist and legs to get the right fit.
How often should I inspect my harness?
Inspect your harness before each use, checking for any signs of wear, cuts, abrasions, or damage to the stitching.
How do I clean my DMM Vixen?
Clean the harness with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can damage the material.
How long does a climbing harness last?
The lifespan of a climbing harness varies based on usage and care. Typically, harnesses used frequently should be replaced every 1-2 years, or sooner if there is any visible damage. Infrequent users can expect it to last longer, as long as it is stored correctly and is inspected before use.
Can I use this harness for ice climbing?
While the DMM Vixen is versatile, it might not have the specific features of an ice climbing harness. Ensure it meets the specific requirements and has the correct gear loops for your style of ice climbing.

Allow the harness to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat after use. Do not tumble dry.

DMM products typically come with a warranty against manufacturing defects. Check with the retailer or DMM directly for specific warranty details.
How do I store my climbing harness?
Store your climbing harness in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it in a damp environment or near chemicals.
