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.
Does not fit well
It was hard to adjust and not the best fit .My Malinois is about 100lbs so it wasn’t the best fit for the price charged.Sewing quality was good .Delivery took a Long time .Look was good .I would be very happy if it didn’t roll around his body when working with him.But it tend to rotate around the dogs body so that’s a problem
Hi,
Thank you for the review. We are sorry to hear you are having issues with your harness. The harness can take awhile to adjust initially, but once adjusted it can be put on and taken off very easily without additional adjustments. It is important to note that the harness should fit snug to the body. The harness is highly adjustable, so this should not be an issue. Due to the hardware being on one side of the harness, it can tilt slightly when the dog is running. However the harness will adjust to center whenever any force is put on the harness—whether it is a lead clipped in or during aerial applications; therefore the harness will be balanced and there is no risk of injury. If you are experiencing issues we highly recommend you reach out to our support team with photos or a video so that we can evaluate your exact fit and offer suggestions to find a solution.
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.
Great product, very high quality construction.
