Dragon Harness-Introduction

Lightweight, flexible and comfortable, this innovative harness is designed to be worn under the tactical vest. The built-in handle system is easily accessible allowing immediate high threat extraction of downed personnel without the need to holster or sling weapons during rescue. This enables more fire power on the threat while the inline drag reduces the risks of back injury. The construction is of durable, 2" flat seatbelt webbing (rated at over 3000 lbs.) with a deployable handle system attached to low profile 1" Tech Tape. Features box-stitching and an adjustable buckle at the abdomen. Requires no assembly or modification to existing gear. Please visit www.NARescue.com for more information.

@FactaNonVersa Please note that at the 2:30 mark, this video addresses the potential issues that can occur when relying on the vest's built-in drag strap (the potential improper stitching and lack of weight testing leading to breaks/ wearing other gear that could obscure the strap). Hopefully that will help to clear up any further questions you may have.

Not trying to be critical for the sake of being critical, however; 1 Is that 'fast tex' buckle strong enough for human lift systems ? 2 What's up with calling soldiers 'war fighters' ? Sounds less personal, like some video game character ?

[Narescue01]

The release buckle, which is the lowest part rated on the system, has a lowest expected tensile load of 225 lbs. per the manufacturer. The webbing has a tensile strength of 3,000 lbs. per 1 wide (the Dragon Harness is 2 wide) and the tensile strength of the sewn components is 3,100 lbs. Please keep in mind that this device was designed for linear drags and not vertical lifts. Please reference the Hasty Harness videos for a device that can manage vertical lifts.

Regarding your question on "Soldier" vs "Warfighter" terminology, "warfighter" has been commonly used in the media in reference to soldiers fighting in Iraq, so it should be commonly understood. The two terms are interchangeable.

A quick search reveals the definition to be:

armed forces member: a soldier, sailor, Marine, or airman who is engaged in combat against an enemy force

war·fight·er, n. a soldier in combat

I hope that helps. Thanks for your interest and have a great day.

@Narescue01 the two terms are only interchangeable when referring to Army personal, Army=soldiers, marines= marines ect. but all branches are warfighters which is why they use that term

[krenkys1]

It is a good stuff. I used it for whole last week during Combat Life Saver course here in Czech republic training area. It is much more easier to carry out wounded soldier from hot zone to save area for tactical field care via this harness then drag handle on the vest.

Also, the fact that people are even confused about what a warfighter is it's the less it that it registers when a warfighter is killed...

@matt3202

In the past (i.e. pre 9/11) if your wore a uniform and served your country in a war effort or readiness, in any capacity, you were a soldier. Otherwise if you did not wear a uniform but organized with other armed citizens to defend your country you were considered "militia." Changes in language that seem to come out of nowhere is almost always an attempt to change perception.

@Narescue01

And here I was thinking the term "warfighter" was introduced to obscure the fact that the former Blackwater and other merc agencies, a.k.a. "contractors", not actually a part of the US military and thus not US soldiers are nonetheless being utilized by the US in various conflicts. But then maybe I'm just suspicious of sudden changes in language with no sensible reason or explanation...

Sorry, but what are you guys? Army infantry? S.T.A.R.S?
