Compatible with CMC’s Chest Ascender Kit and built with multiple steel attachment points, the ATOM Chest delivers safety, comfort, and next-level versatility for the rope technician.

Description

Features:
  • Transforms ATOM Sit into a NFPA certified Class III Life Safety Harness.
  • Allows teams to utilize the mobility of a sit harness until a full body unit is preferred for working on rope.
  • Sternal and dorsal steel D-rings provide robust, low-profile attachment points that can fit multiple carabiners.
  • Integrated load transfer from chest attachment points to the Sit Harness, increasing comfort in a vertical lift.
  • Compatible with a variety of chest ascenders that can be added or swapped using the ATOM Chest Ascender Kit.
  • Built for all-day comfort and security, while being quick to install or remove to meet the demands of the job.
  • Constructed using water-repellent, UV resistant webbing, as well as breathable D3 cloth in the dorsal padding.
  • Available in black with contrasting thread for wear inspection and Black Web Keepers™ to secure loose ends.
  • Replaces the ProSeries Chest Harness and adds another level of customization to the ATOM Harness Series.
Compatibility:
  • The current ATOM Sit  has a rear oval ring for attaching the ATOM Chest. This combination creates an NFPA Certified Class III Life Safety Harness without the need for additional hardware.
  • The previous ATOM Sit (PN# 202A) has a soft loop on the back. A Trapezium Quick-Link is required to attach the rear tether of the ATOM Chest to the ATOM Sit. This combination is not NFPA Class III Certified, but the ATOM Sit retains its NFPA Class II Certification.
