Vest Safety Harness
The 3M DBI-SALA ExoFit X50 delivers the trusted dependability of the Delta harness with the usability of the ExoFit X-Series, in a simple design built so new and occasional users can work at height with confidence. High-visibility yellow-green polyester webbing, a self-locking dorsal pad, an integrated SRL adapter and built-in suspension trauma straps come standard.
This model carries Back attachment elements with a quick connect chest buckle and quick connect leg buckles. Certified to ANSI/ASSP Z359.11-2021 and OSHA 1910.140 and 1926.502, rated 130 to 310 lb under ANSI and up to 420 lb under OSHA. In stock sizes: Medium/Large.
Who Needs This Product
Maintenance crews, warehouse and plant workers, and contractors who need a clean, dependable fall arrest harness without paying for features they will never use. It is the entry rung of the ExoFit family, ideal for outfitting new hires, occasional users and whole crews.
Features
Quick Connect Buckles
Quick connect buckles click home with one hand and release with a squeeze of the side levers, so donning and doffing between tasks takes seconds, even with gloves on.
Integrated SRL Adapter
The easy-link adapter accepts pin style personal SRLs right at the back, which 3M says cuts install time by up to 55% compared to web-mounted installation.
Self-Locking Dorsal Pad
The new dorsal pad locks the back D-ring in place so it does not slide down the back, keeping the fall arrest connection between the shoulder blades where it belongs.
Suspension Trauma Straps
Low-profile trauma straps ride zipped into the harness. After a fall the worker clips them together and stands in the loop to take pressure off the legs while waiting for rescue.
Revolver Torso Adjusters
Revolver adjusters lock the torso webbing in place so the fit you set in the morning is the fit you have at the end of the shift.
Auto-Resetting Lanyard Keepers
Lanyard keepers park unused snap hooks and carabiners and reset on their own. They are parking points only, never attachment points.
Fit is a safety function. Size the harness to the worker, secure the leg straps before the chest buckle, snug every strap, and connect fall arrest only to the dorsal D-ring. Retire the harness after any fall arrest event.

Typical Applications
How to Use
Donning and fit steps from the 3M ExoFit X50 user instructions (form 5908600):
- Inspect first. Check webbing, stitching, impact indicators, D-rings, buckles and labels per the inspection log. Disconnect all buckles and empty your pockets.
- Put it on. Lift the harness by the dorsal D-ring, slip on the torso straps and let it hang from your shoulders with the chest buckle in front. Check that no straps are twisted.
- Buckle legs, then chest. Secure the leg straps first, then the chest buckle.
- Adjust the fit. Set the sub-pelvic strap just below the buttocks, snug the leg straps, then the torso straps with the revolver or pass-through adjusters. Stow loose strap ends in the keepers.
- Check the D-ring. The dorsal D-ring sits between your shoulder blades. Have a second trained worker verify the fit.
- Connect the system. Attach your SRL or energy absorbing lanyard to the dorsal D-ring or SRL adapter, anchored to a rated anchorage, with a rescue plan in place.
Inspection and Retirement
The user inspects the harness before each use, and a competent person other than the user inspects it at least once a year under ANSI and OSHA. Keep a written log for each harness; the RFID tag makes that fast.
- Hardware: D-rings, buckles and adjusters free of cracks, distortion, sharp edges and corrosion; buckles engage and release properly.
- Webbing and stitching: no cuts, frays, broken fibers, tears, abrasion, heavy soiling, mold, burns or discoloration; no pulled or cut stitches.
- Impact indicators: all stitched impact indicators intact.
- Labels: present and legible, including the RFID tag.
- Attached components: SRL adapter, trauma straps and keepers in working order.
Retirement triggers: any fall arrest or impact force, a failed inspection, or damage beyond the limits in the manual. The harness is not repairable. Clean with mild bleach-free detergent, air-dry below 130°F and store out of direct sunlight.
