Some may, but the Petzl Croll didn't. There was a metal ring on each half of the half of the harness that you did clip you biner (our in my case maillion). Where the rings were, the tape was also covered in a canvas like material, so you could detect when the rings were starting to wear the webbing and replace the harness. I'm trying to remember my brothers' harnesses and I can't remember exactly their configurations, but I can't remember any metal components except the the use of a biner.
