Dans les ouvrages sur l'alpinisme et les dictionnaires généraux, la définition de «baudrier» correspond à celle de «baudrier-cuissard»; les deux termes sont synonymes et équivalents du terme anglais «harness» qu'on définit des mêmes éléments que les termes français. Il y a donc équivalence et non lien de générique à spécifique entre les désignations anglaises et françaises. L'usage actuel privilégie «baudrier-cuissard», une désignation plus précise. 6, record 2, French, - baudrier
