Guardian Fall Protection 11171 XL-XXL Seraph Construction Harness with Side D-Rings

I purchased this as a DIY’er for home projects. I needed to replace something on my roof, which is extremely steep and almost 3 stories high at its apex. I have experience over the past 20 years wearing this type of fall protection gear periodically, so donning this equipment was easy and comfortable for me. Although I didn’t test it by jumping off the roof, it felt sturdy and safe as I used it moving around on the roof. It appears to be well made and of good material. Everything appeared as it should. I feel confident that if I were to take a fall, this item would do its intended job. Even tho I have used these types of items over the years, I am by no means an expert. But I am satisfied. For me, it works well.

I wear this infrequently, since I bought it to wear while cleaning snow off of my roof-mounted solar panels. I am 5'7", between 170-185 lbs, 34 waist. I wear Carhartt bibs and jacket under it. Definitely have a lot of room left in the harness even with the Carhartts on. I'm very happy with the quality of the harness, size of the rings, setup of buckles, etc. It was a bit of a challenge to put it on by myself the first time, but it was straightforward after a few wearings. Since I have some issues with my shoulders and back, I have to take a lot of breaks while doing the work, which often means I'm wearing the harness for well over 2 hours, and it's certainly comfortable for that period of time. Definitely believe that I got my money's worth.

This harness for the money is top quality. It has lower back and side padding. The leg has standard strapping with eyelet buckles. For the $80 amazon prime this harness costs - it the best you will find. Something like this would cost upwards of $150-200 at your supply house or Big Box Industrial Supplier. Its very comfortable. This is my second harness, I added another employee, but I've used this harness for over a year and it still looks new. We go up on lifts, on forklifts and buckets installing outdoor and indoor lighting and solar panels. There are three harness points, one on your back and one on each side as pictured, plus it also has smaller tether points where you can hook up your tools and other accessories so you don't drop them. Its fully adjustable in all directions and is very comfortable to wear all day!

I am an steel construction worker, I wear this harness loaded with tools, welding rod, and bolts. This harness has limited space around the belt to fasten large bolt bags, on tool pouches, but I have squeezed two bolt bags on it, and an electrode holder. I like the padding on the belt, but the shoulders and especially back pad to which the D is mounted is obtrusive. It often feels like I have something stuck back there, reminds me of having your sweatshirt hood stuck under your harness. The shoulder pads are small relative to the shoulder straps, and thus will slide out of position from time to time, but mostly when taking off or putting on. This does fit large, but with the adjustments, everything felt perfect. At 5'10'' 195lbs, the belt, and D-ring are right where they should be. The leg straps don't ride up, and the chest strap does not sag down (unlike my Sala Exofit). It is easy to carry lots of weight on your harness with this, it resists twisting with uneven loads.

This is very comfortable and allows for easy movement. Felt no restrictions in mobility and the padding made wearing this for hours a pleasure. It really made a difference over lighter padding of some harnesses that begin to irritate just from the drag of the tether. The adjustments are quick and sure. I especially like having the waste belt as many of the others only have the chest belt alone. The construction stitching is clean and appears to be well made. Once the initial adjustments were made, it took less than a minute to get belted in.

One of the top five harness that I have warn. I climbed a ton with this on ,inspecting stuff , tracking systems in the rack from sun up to son down! It’s heavy but I had a python bag on my belt for all my gages, field book , documents... it took heavy abuse and never let me down. Wouldn’t recommend it for welding pipe while in the rack, way too heavy to keep your body steady. It’s more for keeping the stress off your core with the padded belt and shoulders so you can do more climbing without the normal problems that a harness causes in a work day!

great ansi/osha approved harness. i am able to fit a carpenter's tool bag on each side as well as hammer holster. gets a bit hot behind the waist belt and shoulder padding in this heat wave we're having, but I didn't really expect it NOT to get hot. I'm 5'-11", 230lbs (a bit fat around the middle) and the xl-xxl size fits fine in my summer t-shirt and jeans, with plenty of adjustment room left over for my winter bibs and coat. d-ring in the back is a bit high and I have to clip in from over the shoulder rather than from around the back like my old harness...that might be hard to do while dressed for winter, but i'm sure i'll get it done. all in all a great harness. much better than my old setup with tool belt over un-padded, el-cheapo harness.

I bought this as a gift for my brother who does tall tree landscaping. He was estattic when he got this. It is very rugged and well made. The D-rings are large and can accommodate hanging tools from the sides. The shoulders even have padding that feels great. I've used various types if harnesses at my work climbing scaffolding, and I got to say, this harness is a fantastic value and is the most comfortable one I've ever worn hands down. My brother has been wearing this for the past few weeks landscaping tall trees, spending several hours suspended in the air . He can't stop complimenting this harness.
