The SKYLOTEC TOP Y chest harness is designed for professional arborists and height safety specialists who require a lightweight, functional, and versatile solution for everyday rope work. Its classic Y-design distributes load evenly across the shoulders and chest, improving stability and reducing fatigue during extended canopy work.

The ergonomic fit supports controlled movement and excellent comfort, even during demanding tree care operations. When combined with the SKYLOTEC ARBO sit harness, it forms a fully certified EN 361 fall arrest harness, making it suitable for both traditional arboriculture and advanced rope access techniques.

The central sternal aluminium attachment point enables secure integration into personal fall protection systems. A key advantage is the modular system design, which allows optional integration of a chest ascender for efficient single rope technique (SRT) climbing. This significantly improves climbing efficiency and smooth upward movement in vertical access scenarios.

Despite its advanced functionality, the TOP Y remains lightweight and compact, integrating seamlessly into modern arborist systems without unnecessary bulk.

The result is a comfortable and modular chest harness for professional arboriculture, rope access, and work at height.
