For individuals working at height, a fall protection harness serves as more than just a safety connection. Comfort, confidence, and productivity are directly linked to the design and quality of the harness they wear. The 3M™ DBI-SALA® ExoFit™ XE Series was meticulously crafted with these factors in mind, prioritizing the safety and comfort of workers at every level.
The XE harness series boasts high-quality components across all tiers. These include a patent-pending front cross-chest buckle with a centered D-ring, patented revolving torso strap adjusters, an integrated personal Self-Retracting Lifeline (pSRL) tunnel, and patented built-in low-profile suspension trauma relief straps.
Additionally, harness sizes are tailored to accommodate the diverse body types found in the European market, while padding options for the shoulder and leg areas feature strategically placed air channels to enhance breathability.
A team of researchers conducted an anthropometric study spanning six European countries to gain insight into the correlation between the human body, harness fit, and user behavior. By referencing sensitivity body maps during the design process, the development team gained a deeper understanding of how factors such as heat, sweat, and pressure zones impact user comfort.
This informed the design of padded elements to ensure optimal comfort and performance in real-world scenarios.
