- Outer layer — Cordura 500D with a water-repellent coating (Multicam / Olive / Coyote / Black).
- Inner lining — breathable 3D Mesh with EVA padding: distributes pressure and prevents chafing during extended wear.
- Frame — 25 mm and 50 mm polyamide webbing; load-bearing points are double-cross-stitched.
MOLLE System
The harness features 6 rows of MOLLE straps (3 on each side) for modular attachment of pouches, an GPS tracker, a medical kit, identification patches, and unit insignia. This transforms the harness into a platform tailored to a specific mission.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size harness should I choose?
The harness is adjusted with hook-and-loop fasteners and adapts to the dog’s body shape, so fixed sizes are not needed. Use the dog’s weight of 18–60 kg as a guideline; send us the chest circumference, neck circumference and back length and we will advise on the fit.

Pouches, an GPS tracker, a first-aid kit, a folding bowl, identification patches, and unit insignia—the 6 rows of the MOLLE provide plenty of space.
