The differ- ent adjusting points and the lightweight metal alloy adjusting buckles, with quick release, ensure a perfect fit to the body. All Eagle harnesses come with bag for trans- port. Among the range, it’s noteworthy the reference: - Eagle Flex. It corresponds to a multipur- pose versatile full body harness featuring 2 frontal attachment points, one dorsal and one ventral along with a positioning waist-belt with padded leg straps for sus- pended works. Its elastic shoulder straps will grant maximum comfort during work and are easily adjustable, providing a per- fect fit to the body. The anatomical padded back, roomy, semirigid, which supports the entire waist and a big part of the back, is lightweight and offers excellent ergonom- ics making it easier the worker to put the harness on. · Newtec Stop Line Line of retractable type fall arresters which feature a 4 mm diameter galvanized steel cable with and internal energy absorber, aluminium swivel connectors (opening ø 24 mm) with safety lock and fall indicator.
