PETZL RELEASES
UPDATED FALL ARREST
HARNESS LINE
PETZL'S
latest Newton harness line has updated features for added comfort
and easier usability. Pockets, padded shoulder straps and a hi-viz
vest option are additions for increased all-day comfort while at work. The
updated line is more ergonomic, and the material used is more breathable and
lightweight than previous models.
The new Hi-Viz vest is compatible with the Newton harness line. It's
equipped with reflective strips and a name tag holder and is available in
yellow or orange. Three sizes are available for the harness line: 0, 1 and 2.
International versions are certified to North American standards; all three
models meet ANSI Z359.11 and CSA Z259.10. The starting price point for
the Newton harness line is $99.95.
The Newton Easyfit is a fall arrest harness that can be put on and taken off
easily with the intuitive Fast LT Plus buckles on the leg loops. Two zippered
pockets on the left and right side of the harness let you stow small items. The
widely spaced shoulder straps are padded, and the upper portion is made of
breathable, lightweight material. A textile sternal and metal and textile dorsal
attachment points offer different connection options. Parking storages make
it easy to store MGO connectors. The Newton Fast harness is constructed
similarly, minus the zippered pockets and padded leg loops.
The Newton harness is a slimmed-down version of the Easyfit and Fast.
Colour-coded shoulder straps make it easy to distinguish from the leg loops
and equipment loops, and slots allow for easy tool organization. The Fast LT
Plus automatic sternal buckle makes it easy to fasten and unfasten the harness,
without loss of adjustment.
