Sala "Exofit Nex" Fall Arrest Harness with Rear and Front 'D' Rings. Optional Work Positioning Belt
Exofit Nex 2 point comfort and safety harness with optional work positioning belt, vertical torso adjusters, carrying pocket, and quick connect buckles to EN361 (& EN358 when with positioning belt).
The Exofit Nex harness is the next generation of full body harness, featuring added comfort, functionality and durability. Although many in the industry see sala harnesses as having no equal, Sala continue to improve, refine and innovate. If there’s a stronger, lighter material, Sala want to introduce it.
If there’s a better method for producing a stronger, more comfortable harness, we want to develop it. ExoFit NEX™ harnesses represent the culmination of extensive research, and the implementation of new designs using the latest breakthrough materials. Rest assured, when you purchase an ExoFit NEX™ harness, you can be confident that you are purchasing a harness of the highest quality.
Comfort
Equipment designed for safety doesn’t have to be uncomfortable.
True to that principle, we manufacture harnesses using materials that won’t add unnecessary weight. We add moisture resistant padding wherever appropriate to keep you dry and cool all day.
And because we also believe that the harness should in no way interfere with or distract wearers from performing their jobs, we implement critical adjustment features that enable a perfect fit.
Function
In today’s workplace, where speed and efficiency are project requirements, the purchase of an ExoFit NEX™ harness is as an investment in productivity.
The perfect harness gives workers the freedom and confidence to function to their maximum. Innovative safety devices and groundbreaking design features - such as Integrated Suspension Relief Straps sewn into the harness, Duo-Lok™ quick-connect buckles, and a covered pocket with elastic sides to store personal items – permit wearers to work smart, fast and safe.
Durability
Manufactured items - even of the highest quality - will lose their ability to perform over time.
ExoFit NEX™ harnesses aim to challenge this conventional thinking.
Designed using materials of lasting strength, including Repel Technology webbing and Tech-Lite™ D-rings made from aircraft aluminum, ExoFit NEX™ harnesses can withstand the most severe demands day in, day out. They are built to perform to the highest standards in the harshest environments.
Features

Frequently Asked Questions
ExoFit NEX™ Harness
1) Is the Duo-Lok™ quick connect buckle safe if I don't lock the 1800 turn knob into place?
Yes, the web locking mechanism on the QC buckles is to fix the adjustment where you want it. The harnesses are tested in the locked and the unlocked position; either way it has no affect on the performance or overall safety in a fall.
2) Will the original ExoFit™ and ExoFit™ XP continue to be sold?
Yes for the near future you can continue to purchase ExoFit, and ExoFit XP. We must develop an entire line of harnesses and evaluate the marketplace before making any decisions with ExoFit or ExoFit XP. We will continue to evaluate our entire ExoFit family and will keep our sales team and distributors well informed of any future changes.
3) Can I wash my ExoFit NEXTM?
Yes, please follow the instructions called out in the ExoFit NEX manual for washing.
4) Will washing remove the Repel Technology?
In testing the Repel Technology the webbing group washed a hamess 10 times without any affect on the repel webbing's performance. After 10 wash cycles you may begin to see degradation of the webbing's water shedding capability.
5) Can I attach a Talon directly to the ExoFit NEXTM?
Yes absolutely, the unique Talon connection is perfectly adapted for direct connection to the rear of the ExoFit NEX.
6) Are the Tech-Lite™ aluminium alloy D-rings as strong as steel?
Yes, the Tech-Lite d-rings meet all the same standards and strength tests as the forged steel d-rings used on other DBI-SALA harnesses. The aluminium alloy material in the Tech-Lite d-rings is also used in aerospace, military, and sporting applications.
7) What does NEX mean?
It's a contraction for Next Generation harness!
8) Does NEX come with i-Safe™?
Yes i-Safe™ is an integral part of the NEX harness.
9) What if the Revolver™ adjusters are on their maximum or minimum size adjustment?
No problem at all, the torso adjusting mechanism have been tested in all positions, performance of the harness is not affected.
10) When will the new ExoFit NEXTM range of harnesses be available?
The European CE models are available in the Europe from January 2010.
11) Is the ExoFit NEXTM available in other versions?
For the time being the models available through the initial launch are the only styles available. However, these styles are open to customization. We plan to introduce other styles of NEX including a Wind Energy model, but plan to spend time developing these models in detail so we can offer the absolute best harness solution to these users. We do not currently have a timeline for these models but will keep our sales team and distribution up to date.
