The MSA V-FORM® Welding Safety Harness is specifically engineered for welding and high-heat environments where durability and compliance are non-negotiable. Built with a blend of Kevlar® and nylon webbing, this full-body harness offers superior resistance to sparks, slag, and heat exposure. The racing-style fit supports freedom of movement, while robust plated steel hardware enhances safety and reliability in extreme conditions. With hip and dorsal D-rings, and a choice of quick-connect or tongue buckle leg straps, this model ensures optimal anchorage, ease of donning, and long-lasting comfort on the job.
