Combat Lite Vest Style Harness
Frontline's Combat Lite Series harness was engineered to deliver performance, durability, and reliability for workers across construction, telecom, tower, wind, oil and gas, and manufacturing trades. The 105CFTB-UN configuration adds front and side D-rings to the standard dorsal anchor so the same harness handles fall arrest, work positioning, ladder climbing, and rope-access transitions without re-rigging.
Polyester with metal (steel + alloy) hardware. Rated to a 310 lb capacity and 5,000 lb breaking strength. Compliant with ANSI Z359.11-2021 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926.
Who Needs This Product
This product is a personal fall protection full body harness. It is used as the wearer-side component of a personal fall arrest system (PFAS), a work positioning system, or a fall restraint system. Pair it with a compatible energy-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline (SRL) and a certified anchor rated to 5,000 lb. The harness is not a complete fall arrest system on its own.
Features
Suspension trauma straps
Built-in straps deploy after a fall to relieve circulation pressure on the legs while waiting for rescue.
Quick-connect locking chest buckle
One-handed chest buckle locks audibly; no second-guessing whether the harness is dressed.
Metal side and front D-rings
Rated for work positioning, climbing, and restraint without re-rigging onto a second harness.
Lightweight chassis, rigid build
Tested to 5,000 lb breaking strength while staying under 6.2 lb for an all-day shift.
Tongue-buckle leg straps
Set the leg-strap length once at the start of the shift; no slipping during dynamic movement.
Independent 3rd-party lab tested
Tested to ANSI Z359.11-2021 by an accredited lab outside Frontline.

Typical Applications
Donning Overview
Single-operator donning per the Frontline user manual. Always refer to the manual for the full procedure.
- Inspect. Run the harness through a pre-use inspection: webbing, hardware, stitching, labels, fall indicators.
- Orient. Hold the harness up by the dorsal D-ring. Shake the leg straps free, so they hang clean.
- Shoulders. Slip both arms through the shoulder straps with the dorsal D-ring centered between the shoulder blades.
- Chest. Connect the chest buckle. Adjust so the strap sits 6 to 8 inches below the collarbone.
- Legs. Pass each leg strap under the thigh and connect at the leg buckle. Tighten until two fingers fit between strap and thigh.
- Tighten. Adjust shoulders, chest, and legs evenly. The dorsal D-ring should rest between the shoulder blades, not riding up the neck or down the lower back.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect every component before each use. A competent person formally inspects at documented intervals, typically every 6 months under ANSI Z359.2. Pull the equipment out of service for any of the conditions below.
- Webbing: cuts, burns, abrasion, chemical attack, broken threads, loose stitching.
- Hardware: cracks, deformation, sharp edges, corrosion, improper function of buckles and D-rings.
- Stitching: cut, broken, or loose stitches; pulled threads at any load point.
- Labels: legible and intact. Date of first use recorded.
- Fall indicators: any deployed or stretched indicator pulls the equipment out of service immediately.
- Connectors and hooks: gates close fully under spring tension; latches lock; no rollout exposure.
Retirement triggers: any deployed fall indicator, any equipment involved in a fall event, any chemical exposure outside the manufacturer-published list, or any condition in which the inspector cannot positively verify that the equipment is fit for service.
