Edelrid Mountain Rescue Chest Harness

Edelrid Mountain Rescue Chest Harness

The Edelrid Mountain Rescue Chest Harness is a chest harness built for mountain rescue work, using an ergonomic figure of eight design. It carries EN 12277 Type D and EN 361 certification and has a front fall arrest eyelet.

Features and Benefits

A chest harness on its own is not a fall arrest system, and the pairing is the point. Combined with the Wing Universal Hip, this becomes a full body harness to EN 361, which is how a team runs a sit harness for most tasks and adds the chest element only when the job demands it.

Moreover, the figure of eight shape is what makes a chest harness worth wearing. It holds the upper body upright under load, which matters most for an unconscious or exhausted casualty and for anyone working suspended for a long period.

Additionally, the mesh vest is robust but light and makes the harness easy to put on. On a callout, a chest harness that has to be untangled first is one that gets skipped.

Adjustment covers the loop to the waist belt, the front opening and both shoulders, so the fit works over a jacket in winter and over a shirt in summer. A soft frame keeps the pack size down for carrying.

Product-Specific Use Cases

This Edelrid Mountain Rescue Chest Harness is technical rescue equipment. Use it where an upright body position is required, on lowers and raises with a casualty, in confined space rescue, and in work positioning where a suspended worker needs upper body support. Most UAE buyers are rescue teams and training providers rather than recreational climbers.
