The addition of the Helix Combat Multi Harness II Chest Harness to the Helix Combat Multi Harness II Waist Harness turns the system into an EN 361 certified Full-Body Harness that is certified at 150kg, rather than the normal 100kg.
There is a rear riser strap that stops the Chest Harness from lifting up when loaded - this is an important safety feature that helps stop the plate carrier being forced upward into the throat or face under sudden load.
The Chest Harness attachment point allows a Helix Ladder Fifi to be attached to an operator can rest / use two hands to operate equipment when climbing a ladder.
A chest ascender can be attached using a low-profile sling system that lets the ascender be run on top of the plate carrier when the harness is underneath.
