The V-FIT® Arc Flash Full-Body Harness is engineered to provide advanced comfort, flexibility, and dependable fall protection for workers exposed to arc flash and demanding industrial environments. Built with MSA’s innovative Kevlar®/nylon webbing blend, the harness delivers a softer and more flexible feel while maintaining ASTM F887 arc flash performance requirements. Its athletic, vest-style construction and patented racing-style connection system eliminate the need for bulky chest straps, providing a close and ergonomic fit that moves naturally with the user. Designed for harsh working conditions, the harness features minimal exposed metal components, shoulder padding for extended-wear comfort, integrated lanyard keepers, and RFID identification for simplified equipment management.
