Notch Chester DLX Chest Harness
The Notch Chester DLX is a multifunctional chest harness designed for arborists using Stationary Rope System (SRS) climbing techniques. Building on the original Chester SRS, the DLX adds integrated storage, additional attachment options, suspenders, and hydration compatibility while maintaining a lightweight, breathable design.
Seven center daisy-chain loops provide multiple attachment positions for connecting to an SRS climbing system, while shoulder daisy chains and integrated reflective loops provide additional locations for organizing equipment. Adjustable side straps allow the harness to be fitted comfortably to the user, and included suspender straps allow it to connect directly to a climbing harness.
Integrated storage pockets provide convenient space for frequently used equipment such as a communications device, phone, compact medical supplies, climbing accessories, wedges, or snacks. A rear compartment accommodates most 1.5-liter lumbar hydration reservoirs and can also hold hot or cold gel packs. Left- and right-side shoulder tunnels can route a hydration hose or knee ascender, making the Chester DLX a versatile addition to an arborist's climbing system.
