Our verdict

A half body harness built around tree work, with molded ventilated panels and many adjustment points. It is hand wash only, and the listing does not describe a rock climbing rating.

Overview

Work in a tree canopy is the setting for this Notch harness, which carries molded EVA panels at the back and legs with built-in ventilation channels. Flared side D rings and a rope bridge with a wear ring give the clip-in points.

Adjustment points at the waist, rise and leg loops let the fit be tuned, and molded gear loops with rated connection points hold tools. The limitation is a laundering routine limited to the sink, plus a spec table that shows only one size.

Who it's for

Tree workers who spend long hours suspended and need a cooler back panel will use the vented layout. Climbers who want a light sport harness, or who need certification for rock climbing, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Molded panels with ventilation channels
  • Many adjustment points for fit
  • Molded gear loops for racking
  • Flared side D rings clip easily
Cons
  • Hand wash only
  • Rock climbing rating not described
  • Size 2 not shown in spec table

Performance notes

Molded EVA panels spread load across their support areas so a long hang puts less pressure on one spot, and the channels let air move across the body. Each adjustment point lets the harness follow different clothing layers and body shapes.
