Hammerhead 5pt Safety Harness with Padded Back - 230-390 lb Capacity

In this review of the Hammerhead 5pt Safety Harness with padded back the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, heavy-duty full body harness built for workers who need reliable fall protection and comfortable long-wear support. Designed and tested against applicable OSHA and ANSI standards, the harness is best for construction, roofing, utility work and other elevated tasks where a strong dorsal D-ring, hip D-rings and solid leg buckles are required. The reviewer found its combination of a heavy-duty back pad, quick-connect chest and tongue buckle leg straps make it one of the better value options for professionals and serious DIYers.
