It features contoured foam on the semi-rigid waistbelt and leg loops for superior comfort during use. The waistbelt includes metal side attachment points, equipment loops, and tool holder slots, allowing users to organize all the essential gear needed for a full day of work. Adjustment is fast and easy thanks to self-locking Doubleback buckles.

Widely spaced shoulder straps reduce neck chafing, and sliding straps offer greater freedom and ease of movement. All contact zones, including the shoulder straps, waistbelt, and leg loops, use contoured foam and breathable lining for enhanced comfort while working and moving. The semi-rigid waistbelt and leg loops ensure optimal fit and support, while foldable metal side attachment points help avoid accidental snagging when not in use.

Replaceable elastic leg loop bands maintain the right adjustment whether walking or suspended. The harness is easy to adjust with self-locking Doubleback buckles on the shoulder straps, waistbelt, and leg loops, while anti-slip devices help keep adjustments secure throughout the workday. For equipment management, shoulder straps have a parking system for fall-arrest lanyard connectors, keeping them accessible and out of the way.

The metal ventral D ring offers connection points for installing a Podium or Litepod work seat, while the textile loop allows the use of a lanyard with a Ring Open attachment ring. Two side metal attachment points support a positioning lanyard in double mode. There are five pre-shaped equipment loops with protective sheaths and two slots for Caritool tool holders or the Interfast connection system.

A red indicator appears on the dorsal attachment point after a fall, signaling the need to retire the harness. Specifications: ventral attachment point for a descender, a positioning lanyard in single mode, or a work seat on the ventral D ring; also compatible with a lanyard using a Ring Open to the textile loop. Lateral attachment points are for a positioning lanyard in double mode.

The sternal and dorsal points are designed for fall-arrest systems, and the rear waistbelt point is for a restraint lanyard.
