Rappelling Harness

$599.99$649.99

Description

The K9 Rappelling Harness has been created for Military (MWD) Special Operations, Police SWAT, and Search and Rescue (SAR) K9s. This tactical dog harness is designed for climbing, rappelling, and helo applications and has been sewn to the same life safety standards as those for human use.

Heavy Duty Mil-Spec Webbing

We use the same type of webbing the military uses for construction of parachute harnesses throughout the entire harness design which is quick drying, mold and mildew resistant and strength rated to 7,000 lbs.

Padded Chest Plate

Padding at the center of the chest provides comfort and safety for the K9.

AUSTRIALPIN COBRA Buckles

Cobra Buckles are redundant, meaning both sides have to be depressed to release the buckle.

Integrated Handle

Our large handle gives you complete manual control of your dog and can be used as a soft clip in point to lift or lower your dog

Molle and Loop Attachment

Loop covered Molle on the left and right sides of the harness allows the handler to attach accessories, pouches or affix ID patches.

Adjustable Shoulder Straps

Ergonomic shoulder straps utilize a climbing-rated metal adjuster for maximum retention.

Accessory Loop

An accessory loop at the apex of the shoulder blades is included for attaching any light or tracker that is made for 1" webbing. It can also accommodate our ID Plate for identification.

Chemlight Loops

Elastic loops are included for attaching chemlights to both sides of the harness.

REMOVABLE REAR LEG STRAP ASSEMBLY

Rear leg straps prevent suspension trauma during lengthy vertical applications by supporting the weight of the dog's hind legs—keeping the legs from sagging and compressing the dog's diaphragm. The straps can be quickly unbuckled from the harness, which allow the rappelling harness to function as a standard harness.

Overview

This harness is sewn to the same standards as climbing and rappelling harnesses for human use and exceeds all industry standards for K9 applications while being completely end-user adjustable. For expert use only.

Taking a harness measurement

We recommend using a tailor’s tape to measure (the same as if you were getting measured for a suit). If you do not have a tailor’s tape you can use a piece of string that you then measure along a tape measure. Simply wrap the tape/string around the dog as shown below, pull it “tight”—that measurement will determine what size is best.

Next level harness

This one of the best quality harness that I've ever seen. My dog loves doesn't feel uncomfortable with it which is very rare in my experience. Also, the size has a lot room for the dog to grow, I ordered in Medium. It took a long time to get here but the customer support team is fantastic.

Purchased for general use and rope work

Excellent high quality highly "customizable" harness. We had issues with fit from other big name manufacturers just because of chest size, the Modern Icon allowed us to accomodate for that while also being able to fit to a slender working dog in the torso. We were in a rope system within a couple days of receiving the harness and it was excellent. Very happy

Seems promising thus far

V high quality materials, stitching, and craftsmanship. Easily dons/doffs, doesn't impede range of motion, and apparently it's comfortable enough to sleep in. Looking forward to implementing it's full capabilities out in the field.
