Full-Body vs Half-Body Harness: Which One Should You Buy?

Buyers often ask whether to choose a full-body harness or a half-body (sit) harness. The answer depends on the work, not just the price.

Full-body harness

  • Best for fall arrest and general work at height
  • Sternal and dorsal attachment points (often marked “A”)
  • Good for industrial maintenance, construction and rescue

Half-body / sit harness

  • Best for rope access, positioning and climbing
  • Lighter, easier to move in
  • Often combined with a chest ascender for ascent work

Adventure parks and training

Parks often need quick-fit full-body harnesses with colour coding and durable webbing for daily use.

What to tell your supplier
