DMM Kinisi KEY Arborist Harness

The DMM Kinisi KEY provides an accessible entry into the Kinisi range while retaining the ergonomic comfort, adjustability, and professional performance of DMM's advanced arborist harness platform. Developed with Treemagineers, the KEY is designed for newer climbers, growing professionals, and tree-care teams seeking a cost-effective harness that can be expanded as their equipment needs evolve.

The Kinisi KEY features a lightweight, low-profile construction with double frame waist and leg buckles for secure and straightforward adjustment. Removable waist and leg pads distribute the user's weight across a broad surface area for comfort during extended periods in the canopy.

One zero-eye rope bridge is included, with the harness supporting one- or two-bridge configurations. Two forward D-rings provide suspension attachment points and can be positioned to suit the climber's center of gravity. Two hot-forged side rings provide dedicated work-positioning connections, while the webbing rear restraint point offers a lightweight, easily accessible connection that can also be used for a chainsaw lanyard.

The modular Kinisi platform lets you add or upgrade components over time, so the harness can grow with the climber's needs.
