Product Overview
The Portwest 2 Point Comfort Plus Harness is a specialized piece of height safety equipment designed for professionals who prioritize both security and ergonomics. When working at height, the physiological strain of wearing a harness for extended periods can be significant; this model addresses that challenge with a breathable, contoured backpad that distributes pressure more evenly across the shoulders and upper back. This is a substantial, sturdy harness engineered for reliability in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Breathable Contoured Backpad: Provides enhanced support and airflow to the wearer, reducing heat build-up and fatigue during long shifts.
- Extended D-Ring Shoulder Strap: The extended arrangement allows for much easier dorsal fittings, ensuring you can secure yourself quickly and correctly even when reaching behind.
- Two Side D-Rings: These offer additional attachment points for work positioning, providing greater versatility for technical tasks at height.
- Full Body Configuration: Distributes fall arrest forces across the body to minimize the risk of injury in the event of a fall.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-tensile Nylon Webbing, this harness is designed to withstand the rigours of industrial use while remaining flexible enough for natural movement. The metal components are manufactured from heat-treated alloy steel, providing exceptional strength-to-weight performance without being overly cumbersome. The 'Comfort Plus' designation is not merely a marketing term; the integration of the backpad ensures the webbing does not bite into the shoulders when the user is moving or suspended, making it a preferred choice for those who spend the majority of their day in a fall-arrest system.
Why No Customisation?
As this is a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for fall arrest, we do not offer customisation such as embroidery or heat-applied logos on this product. Any alteration to the structural integrity of the nylon webbing, including the piercing of fibres by embroidery needles or the application of high-temperature adhesives, could compromise the safety certification and the life-saving capabilities of the harness. Safety is paramount, and maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications is essential for compliance.
Use Cases
This harness is ideal for professionals working in construction, telecommunications, and industrial maintenance. It is particularly suited for tasks requiring work positioning where the side D-rings can be utilised, such as on scaffolding, pylons, or high-rise structural work.

Practical Advice
When donning the harness, ensure that all straps are adjusted to fit snugly against the body; a loose harness can cause significant injury during a fall arrest event. We recommend wearing this harness over medium-weight workwear or a sturdy jacket to ensure the padding sits correctly. Always perform a pre-use inspection of the webbing and alloy steel components for any signs of fraying, corrosion, or damage.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety harness is vital for ensuring its continued performance and longevity. You should regularly wipe down the nylon webbing with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grit, which can act as an abrasive if left to build up. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can degrade the synthetic fibres and weaken the harness.
Store the harness in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Ultraviolet light can damage nylon over time, and a damp environment may lead to mildew or corrosion of the heat-treated alloy steel components. If the harness becomes wet during use, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the webbing from becoming brittle.
