A four point harness with unusually generous tool carriage: four webbing loops and three rings, seven places to hang equipment. For a technician working at height with a handful of karabiners, a lanyard, hand tools and a radio, that is the difference between organised and improvising. Work positioning belt with two lateral D-rings, sternal and dorsal fall arrest points, and the dual colour strap scheme that makes correct donning obvious.
Key Features
- Seven tool attachment points: Four webbing loops and three rings, more than any other harness in the range. Everything has somewhere to go.
- Work positioning belt: Two lateral D-rings for a positioning lanyard, letting the user lean back and work with both hands.
- Sternal and dorsal attachment: Front for rope grab systems, rear for standard fall arrest.
- Automatic buckles on thigh and chest straps: Quicker donning and adjustment.
- Dual colour strap scheme: Shoulder and thigh straps in different colours.
- Positioned sit strap: Comfort and load distribution.
- Rated for regular use, maximum user 140 kg.

Conforms to BS EN 361 for full body harnesses and BS EN 358 for work positioning systems. Category III personal protective equipment under Regulation (EU) 2016/425, supplied with a Declaration of Conformity. Requires inspection by a competent person at intervals not exceeding 12 months and immediate withdrawal after arresting a fall.
Suitable Applications
Suits work at height requiring both positioning and a quantity of equipment: telecoms and antenna work, electrical installation on structures, steel erection with hand tools, and maintenance work where the technician carries a full kit up and needs it accessible. The tool carriage is the reason to choose it over the Fly'in 2, which has two loops and a handle against seven points here. For work needing all-day comfort more than tool space, the Fly'in comfort features are the better trade.
More About This Product
A harness is the only piece of fall protection equipment worn continuously, and that changes what matters about it. A lanyard that is slightly awkward gets used anyway. A harness that is uncomfortable gets loosened off after lunch, and a loose harness performs materially worse in a fall — the wearer drops further before the harness takes load, and the load lands on the wrong parts of the body when it does.
So comfort is not a luxury specification on a harness worn for a full shift; it is what determines whether the harness is still correctly adjusted at four in the afternoon. That is why padding, ventilation and the quality of the adjusters justify their cost on anything worn daily, and why the cheapest harness is rarely the cheapest outcome.
Suspension Trauma and Why the Rescue Plan Comes First
A harness that successfully arrests a fall leaves the wearer suspended, upright and conscious. That is the point — and it is also the beginning of a second, less obvious emergency.
Suspension trauma, also called orthostatic intolerance, develops when someone hangs motionless in a harness. The leg straps restrict venous return, blood pools in the legs, and the volume returning to the heart falls. Unconsciousness can follow within minutes, and the outcome can be fatal even after a successful rescue if the casualty is moved incorrectly.
Two practical consequences follow. First, a rescue plan that depends on calling the emergency services is not a plan, because the response time is longer than the time available. Rescue has to be possible with the equipment and people on site. Second, a suspension trauma relief strap — a few pounds, deploys in seconds, lets the casualty stand in the loops and restore circulation — buys the time the rescue needs. It is the cheapest meaningful addition to any harness and the one most often left off.
This is why the rescue plan is required before work begins rather than written afterwards.
How to Use the Harness
- Understand the two systems: Dorsal and sternal are fall arrest. Lateral D-rings are work positioning and never fall arrest.
- Maintain fall arrest while positioning.
- Use both lateral D-rings together with a positioning lanyard between them.
- Hang tools on the loops and rings, never the D-rings: Tool points are for tools; D-rings are for the fall protection system.
- Watch the total weight: 140 kg includes the user, tools and everything hanging from seven attachment points.
- Adjust the belt onto the hips.
Warning: Lateral D-rings are work positioning only and must never be used to arrest a fall. Tool loops and rings are not attachment points. The 140 kg limit includes everything carried, which on a fully loaded harness adds up quickly.
Safety Information
- For use only by trained and competent persons within a safe system of work.
- Maximum user weight 140 kg including all tools and equipment.
- Lateral D-rings are for work positioning only, never fall arrest.
- A separate fall arrest system must be maintained while positioning.
- Tool loops and rings are not attachment points.
- The dorsal D-ring must sit between the shoulder blades.
- Withdraw immediately after arresting a fall.
- Inspection by a competent person required at intervals not exceeding 12 months.
Inspection and Maintenance
Standard four point harness checks, with the tool carriage as the addition. Inspect all seven tool points for security and wear, since a failing loop drops tools on whoever is below. Check the belt webbing for abrasion where it bears against structure, both lateral D-rings for wear and elongation, and their attachment stitching. Then the usual: every strap on both faces for cuts, abrasion and fraying, stitching at all junctions and attachment points, D-rings for distortion, and buckles for positive engagement and resistance to creep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Mune 5 or Fly'in 2?
Both are four point harnesses with a positioning belt. The Mune 5 has seven tool points against two loops and a handle. The Fly'in 2 has the cushioned mesh net for comfort. If you carry a lot of equipment, Mune 5. If the harness is on all day, Fly'in 2.
Q: Can I hang anything from the tool rings?
Tools and accessories, within reason. They are not rated attachment points and must never take any part of the fall protection system. Also remember everything hanging from them counts towards the 140 kg limit.
Q: Is seven tool points excessive?
Not for a technician working aloft with a full kit. Anyone who has watched someone at height juggling a radio, two karabiners and a spanner will recognise the value. Unused points cost nothing.
