BLACKHAWK! Load Bearing Suspenders & Military Gear Harness 35LBS1

Overview of the BLACKHAWK! Load Bearing Suspenders & Military Gear Harness Load Bearing Suspenders | 35LBS1

What it is

The BLACKHAWK! Load Bearing Suspenders & Military Gear Harness model 35LBS1 shifts heavy belt weight from your hips to your shoulders and chest so you stay mobile on long shifts. The harness is a Load Bearing Suspenders style system built for duty belts and modular pouches.

Materials and hardware

The harness uses 1000 denier NyTaneon™ fabric with reinforced stitching. It features padded shoulder straps, plastic D-rings, a plastic quick-release waist buckle, an adjustable sternum strap, and a sewn drag handle. The images show no metal attachment clips where the harness contacts the body.

How it helps you

You put the harness over your duty belt, cinch the wraparound belt loop system, and adjust the shoulder straps and sternum clip. The H-harness layout and padded shoulders spread load and reduce lower-back strain and hot spots while prone. This gives stable carry for modular pouches during patrol, EMS calls, or field work.

Variants and fit note

The harness is shown and offered in black (35LBS1BK) and olive drab green (35LBS1OD). The belt is not included. Confirm belt width and attachment style before use if you run nonstandard belts.
