In detail
The Helix Combat Multi Harness (HCMH) Type B, manufactured by DMM, is a fully modular tactical harness system that has been developed over several years with significant end-user input and trials. It was specifically designed for military operational use and can be used in a wide range of missions and tasks – it has been fully evaluated across a wide range of environments such as:
• Land
• Maritime
• Extraction
• Aviation
It can be used either as a standalone Riggers’ Belt (front and rear connection points), a Sit Harness EN 12277:2015 +A12018 Type C, or a Full Body Harness EN 361:2002 (Fall arrest only). The HMCH type B Full Body harness is tested to 150kg, exceeding the standard of EN 361 (PPE for Fall Protection - Full Body Harnesses).
The HCMH Type B fully integrates with other ‘on the man’ systems such as life jackets and plate carriers – it has been designed with an ultra-low profile using bonded variable-width webbing so that it can be worn comfortably under a plate carrier. If a chest ascender is required, the innovative connection system occupies minimal area on the front of the carrier.
The system is extremely compact, and yet because of the high-tech materials & manufacturing processes used, loads are spread more evenly, creating a harness that is comfortable to hang in either as a sit or full-body harness.
Lightweight and packable: Packs down to 29cm x 19cm x 7.5cm with all components including carabiners, chest ascender and ladder hook.
The HCMH Type B has been designed to function well over extended periods of use – the buckles are fast to use, secure and won’t seize or corrode whilst the whole system holds minimal water and dries quickly.
The HCMH Type B is the 3rd generation of the HCMH tactical harness system. The original system was introduced in 2018 and very soon became the default harness system for multiple specialist tactical units, amongst others.
At the time, it was the first tactical-specific, modular, full-body harness system and was at the cutting edge of design.
Over the next eight years of use, as operators used the harness across various taskings in different environments, we have responded to their feedback, and this version is the result of further innovation and development.
Further additions, include the HCMH Harness Bora Belt™ and Helix DOM Comfort Belt can be added to this system.
