Removable, adjustable Bos’n chair: Rigid, leather attachment for added support;
Removable belt with tool loops: Uniquely designed to stay in position when disconnected, even when tools are attached;
Stretchable webbing: Patented DuraFlex® elastomer webbing stretches to conform to the shape and movements of the worker with less bunching, binding or kinking.
Improved cam buckle: Lightweight, low profile, and specially designed to allow workers to easily adjust webbing with just one-hand;
Oversized ID tag: For quick and easy harness size identification; and
Stylish design: Featuring vibrant patterned webbing for high visibility and easy identification.
