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

- Webbing: cuts, burns, abrasion, chemical attack, broken threads, loose stitching.
