Sit Harness

Sit harnesses are a specific type of full-body harness designed for safe and comfortable use on ziplines. Here’s a breakdown of their key features and considerations:

• Design:

  • Sit harnesses prioritize comfort and stability for the rider in a seated zipline position. They distribute weight evenly across the thighs and hips, minimizing strain during the zipline ride.
  • Unlike climbing harnesses, sit harnesses typically have a larger leg loop area and a comfortable seat area for a more relaxed zipline experience.
  • Many sit harnesses feature adjustable leg loops and a chest strap for a secure and personalized fit.

• Safety Features:

  • Sit harnesses, like all climbing harnesses, should be certified to meet safety standards set by organizations like UIAA (International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation) or CE (European Conformity).
  • They are equipped with tie-in points for secure connection to the zipline trolley or carabiner.
  • Some sit harnesses may have additional features like belay loops for specific applications.

• Considerations:

  • Choose a sit harness with a weight limit that accommodates the rider’s weight.
  • For children, specific kid-sized zipline harnesses are available to ensure proper fit and safety.
  • Look for features like breathable materials, padding, and adjustable straps for added comfort on longer zipline rides.
