The design of a safety harness is a feat of engineering. It has to be comfortable for long periods of time whilst taking into account the force of a fall.
When a manufacturer designs a harness, it is always based on the requirements of a male. The chest, back and leg straps will be positioned for men, but do not take into account the requirements of females who often find these harnesses uncomfortable to wear.
Safety concerns have been raised about the dynamics of the harness when a female wearing a male harness falls. Often the chest straps tighten, causing damage to breast tissue.
Ridgegear RGH35 Harness
With this in mind, Ridgegear has developed the first harness for ladies. The new Ridgegear RGH35 is specially designed by ladies for ladies.
The Ridgegear RGH35 harness is manufactured with a high chest “V” and centre strap which fits comfortably between the breasts to limit any possible damage in the event of a fall.
The harness is supplied with a waist belt for additional comfort and quick connect leg adjustments to aid donning.
Comfort leg pads are supplied as standard and shoulder pads can be supplied as an optional extra.
The Ridgegear RGH35 harness is manufactured using 43mm water repellent Polyester webbing.
Rip Stitch
Ridgegear has incorporated a rip stitch indicator. This simple but effective safety indicator shows if the harness has been used within a fall. If an operative uses this harness at height, and unfortunately falls, the force can affect the mechanics of the harness. The rip stitch indicator detaches and shows if the harness has been damaged.
Available in Three Sizes
Three sizes are available; small 10-12, medium 14-16 and large 16+
