Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes does the 10195098 harness family come in?This listing covers 2 sizes: X-Large, Super XL. Select your size from the options above; each size carries its own MSA part number (10195098, 10195099) and ships as the exact factory SKU. Check the MSA sizing chart in this listing to match your height and weight to the right size.What D-ring configuration does this MSA harness have?It carries back D-ring locations (1 total, plated steel). The back (dorsal) D-ring is the fall arrest attachment point; additional D-rings support positioning, climbing, or retrieval depending on location.What buckles does this harness use?The chest connection is standard style and the leg straps use tongue-buckle buckles in plated steel. Buckle style affects donning speed: quick-connect is fastest, tongue-buckle gives infinite adjustment, and Qwik-Fit slides to adjust.Is this harness padded?No. This is the unpadded configuration, which keeps weight and cost down. If your crew wears a harness all day, consider a shoulder-padded V-FIT or V-FLEX configuration instead.What standards does this harness meet?It is certified to ANSI/OSHA. Full-body harnesses are the only body wear OSHA allows for personal fall arrest, and this model’s 400 lb capacity covers the worker plus clothing and tools.When does an MSA harness expire?MSA does not impose a mandatory shelf or service life on harnesses; retirement is condition-based. Remove it from service after any fall arrest event or failed inspection. MSA’s white paper on harness expiration in the documentation section covers the inspection-based approach in detail.How do I know what size to order?Use the MSA harness sizing chart shown in this listing: match your height and weight to the size band. Standard fits most workers; X-Small, X-Large, and Super XL cover the ends of the range. A properly sized harness should let you fit a flat hand, but not a fist, under the leg straps when standing.
