Product Overview
The Portwest 2 Point Comfort Harness is a professionally engineered piece of height safety equipment designed to provide security and comfort during demanding tasks at elevation. This ergonomic harness is built to support the wearer throughout the working day, featuring a sliding dorsal D-Ring and two side D-Rings to facilitate effective work positioning. The red polyester webbing is not only highly visible but is also constructed to withstand the rigours of industrial environments, ensuring that safety is never compromised for the sake of utility.
Key Features
- Sliding Dorsal D-Ring: This central attachment point provides a secure connection for fall arrest systems, ensuring the force of a fall is distributed safely across the body.
- Breathable Contoured Backpad: The integrated padding uses a polyester mesh to promote airflow and reduce heat build-up, significantly increasing comfort during long shifts.
- Two Side D-Rings: These allow for stable work positioning, enabling the user to secure themselves and work with both hands free.
- Fail-Safe Flat Bar Buckles: Engineered for simplicity and security, these buckles are easy to adjust while providing a reliable closure that will not slip under tension.
- Full Adjustability: With adjusters located at the waist, chest, and legs, the harness can be tailored to a wide range of body shapes for a precise and safe fit.
Design & Performance
Constructed with high-tenacity polyester straps, this harness is designed for long-term resilience and resistance to abrasion. The use of heat-treated alloy steel for the hardware ensures that the structural components can withstand high levels of stress without deformation. This is a substantial, sturdy harness that provides the wearer with a sense of stability and protection.
The ergonomic design focuses on the distribution of pressure. The breathable backpad is contoured to follow the natural line of the spine, which helps to prevent the harness from digging in during movement. The combination of durable webbing and high-grade metalwork makes this a reliable choice for professional environments where fall protection is a mandatory requirement.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Portwest 2 Point Comfort Harness because it is a life-critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any modification, such as embroidery or heat-applied transfers, could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the polyester webbing or react with the materials, rendering the harness unsafe. To ensure your equipment remains fully compliant with safety standards and provides maximum protection, it must be used exactly as manufactured.
Use Cases
This harness is an essential requirement for professionals working in construction, scaffolding, and telecommunications. It is equally suited for maintenance tasks on roofs or within industrial facilities where fall arrest and work positioning are necessary. It is designed for those who require a harness that can be worn comfortably for several hours at a time.

Practical Advice
When donning the harness, ensure that all straps are flat and not twisted, as twists can cause discomfort and reduce the effectiveness of the webbing in the event of a fall. The harness should be adjusted so it is snug but allows for a full range of movement. We recommend wearing this over a durable work jacket or sweatshirt to prevent the straps from rubbing against the skin.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your harness is vital for ensuring its long-term performance and safety. We recommend regularly wiping the webbing and hardware with a damp cloth to remove dirt, grit, or grease. Allowing debris to build up can lead to the fibres of the webbing being abraded over time, which may weaken the material.
Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or bleach on the harness. These substances can cause chemical degradation of the polyester, which is often invisible to the naked eye but can significantly reduce the harness's breaking strength. Always allow the harness to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can make the synthetic fibres brittle.
Store the harness in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can cause the polyester to fade and weaken. Always conduct a visual inspection of the stitching and metal components before every use to ensure there are no signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion.
