Designed for professional arborists, the kit combines an innovative seamless chest harness with a compact, precisely adjustable foot loop, supporting upright posture and smooth, fluid rope progression throughout long ascents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSeamless chest harness with X-design support\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NATE chest harness uses an advanced weaving technique with no sewn seams in the chest strap loops, resulting in lower weight and increased resistance without structural weak points. Integrated compact PE foam provides effective back support while remaining flexible and lightweight. The distinctive X-design distributes effort evenly across the upper body, helping reduce strain on the shoulders and back. Two adjustment buckles allow precise fitting to different body shapes, while a quick-release buckle enables easy fitting and removal, even when wearing gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompact and adjustable knee ascender foot loop\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NATE foot loop is compact, lightweight, and compatible with most chest ascenders on the market. It adapts easily to different footwear and offers two adjustment points, upper and lower, for precise positioning and maximum climbing efficiency. A custom-developed elastic provides ideal tension, using a short, dynamic spring action that allows the ascender to return smoothly after each step, reducing leg effort during repeated movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIntegrated system for upright climbing posture\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe innovation of the NATE system lies in the direct connection between the chest harness and the foot loop. The foot loop attaches to the lower loop of the harness, distributing load through the X-design when pushed down and helping keep the torso upright during ascent. This integration reduces overall physical strain and improves climbing fluidity. Symmetrical side loops allow the foot loop to be fixed directly to the harness when not in use. The chest harness and foot loop can be used together for optimal performance or separately if required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeamless woven chest harness loops for reduced weight and higher resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX-design harness for even load distribution and reduced shoulder strain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated PE foam for flexible and lightweight back support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo chest harness adjustment buckles plus quick-release buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery lightweight chest harness at approximately 135 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact knee ascender foot loop weighing approximately 86 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper and lower foot loop adjustments for precise ascender positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom-designed elastic for smooth ascender return and reduced leg effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect harness-to-foot loop connection for improved torso support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable design for women, no pressure on breast area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetrical side loops for parking the foot loop when not in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FTC","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":52665761431895,"sku":"FTC\/NAT-K1","price":118.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0785\/8263\/files\/FTC-NATE-Chest-harness-and-Knee-Ascender-Kit.jpg?v=1769666495","url":"https:\/\/treeworker.com\/products\/ftc-nate-chest-harness-and-knee-ascender-kit-ascender-not-included","provider":"www.treeworker.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
