Warthog Comfort Maxx Belted Side D-Ring Harness
The Malta Dynamics Warthog Comfort Maxx is a belted, side D-Ring full-body harness built for crews who wear fall protection all day. Full padding on the shoulders, back, waist, and legs - plus a removable waist belt with added lumbar support - keeps workers comfortable through long shifts on construction and roofing sites.
This Warthog harness carries a dorsal (back) D-Ring for fall arrest and two side D-Rings for hands-free work positioning, with steel D-Rings and buckles and tough polyester webbing. Quick-connect chest and leg buckles speed up donning, while a built-in impact fall indicator, dual lanyard keepers, and a deluxe label protector add jobsite practicality. It is rated for a 130 to 310 lb worker capacity and meets ANSI Z359.11-2021, ANSI A10.32-2012, OSHA 1910.66, and OSHA 1926 Subpart M.
Who Needs This Harness
The Warthog Comfort Maxx is a full body harness - the wearable part of a personal fall arrest or work positioning system. The dorsal D-Ring is the connection point for fall arrest with a self-retracting lifeline or shock-absorbing lanyard, while the side D-Rings support hands-free work positioning - never fall arrest. Each worker also needs a compatible connecting device and a rated anchorage. Choose the size that matches the worker's height and weight on the Malta Dynamics sizing chart, and confirm fall clearance below the work surface before tying off.
Features
All-day comfort padding
Padding on the shoulders, back, waist, and legs spreads load and keeps the harness comfortable over long shifts.
Removable belt and lumbar support
A removable waist belt with added lumbar support is a field favorite and can be taken off when a lighter setup is needed.
Back and side D-Rings
A dorsal D-Ring for fall arrest plus two side D-Rings for hands-free work positioning cover most jobsite tasks.
Quick-connect buckles
Quick-connect chest and leg buckles let workers don and doff the harness fast without threading webbing.
Steel hardware, polyester webbing
Steel D-Rings and buckles with durable polyester webbing withstand repeated jobsite use.
Impact indicator and lanyard keepers
A built-in impact fall indicator flags a harness that has taken a fall, while dual lanyard keepers and premium aglets keep gear tidy.

Fit and inspection keep the harness working. Size the harness to the worker, adjust every strap snug, and never use the side D-Rings for fall arrest - they are for work positioning only. Inspect before each use, retire any harness that has arrested a fall or shows a deployed impact indicator, and confirm fall clearance below the work surface before connecting.

Typical Applications
How to Fit the Warthog Comfort Maxx
Fit per the Malta Dynamics harness user instructions. A correctly adjusted harness is essential for it to arrest a fall safely. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Shake it out. Hold the dorsal (back) D-Ring, shake the harness so the straps fall free, and unfasten any buckled straps.
- Put on the shoulder straps. Slip the straps over your shoulders and keep the dorsal D-Ring centered between your shoulder blades.
- Connect the leg straps. Route each leg strap and fasten its buckle, keeping the connection snug but not pinching.
- Fasten the waist belt. Buckle the belt and adjust it snug at the hips for support and to seat the side D-Rings level.
- Connect the chest strap. Fasten the sternal (chest) buckle and position it across the breastbone, 6 to 8 inches below the throat.
- Final adjustment. Snug all straps so no more than a flat hand fits between the webbing and your body, with no slack and no twisted straps.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect the harness before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least every six months per the Malta Dynamics inspection form. Remove the harness from service if any of the conditions below apply.
- Webbing: cuts, burns, holes, frayed or pulled fibers, paint or chemical contamination, or heat and UV damage.
- Stitching: broken, pulled, or cut stitches on shoulder, chest, leg, or back straps.
- D-Rings and hardware: cracks, distortion, sharp edges, corrosion, or rough operation of buckles.
- Impact indicator: any deployed or activated fall-arrest indicator (where fitted).
- Labels: ANSI and OSHA markings and the date of first use must remain legible and intact.
Retirement triggers: any fall-arrest event, a deployed impact indicator, or any cut, burn, or hardware damage. Once a harness has arrested a fall it must be retired from service and destroyed - it cannot be returned to use.
