WEIGHT-PULL HARNESS $78.00
The weight-pull harness is designed for pulling of heavy loads over
short distances, and incorporates a rear spreader bar to prevent
lateral compression of the hind legs by the side straps during heavy
pulls.
The weight pull harness is designed to allow maximum pulling power and comfort under heavy loads. If fitted correctly the weight-pull harness will not restrict movement when the dog's head is down low during pulls, and will not put pressure on the upper arm-shoulder joint.
Weight-pull harnesses are made from 25 mm (1inch) synthetic webbing* with synthetic thick polar-fleece padding and are double stitched with heavy-duty synthetic thread.
*Note: it is a common misconception that wider webbing is better,
however wider webbings are not necessarily any stronger and will not sit
as flat on the curved areas of the dog, causing one edge of the webbing to
dig in - any discomfort will prevent optimal pulling.
Wider webbing may be appropriate for large and giant breed dogs.
Features:
Padding extends around the neck and chest areas for added comfort and to minimise chafing. Harnesses are padded from A-B, B-G and A-D - more than on most other weight-pull harnesses.
The X section over the back is adjustable and the cross-over point can be moved to suit the pulling style of your dog.
Because no two dogs are exactly the same, Windchill weight-pull harnesses are made to measure for your dog. Use the information sheet on how to measure your dog for a weight-pull harness elsewhere in this web site.
The spreader bar will be positioned 12-18 cm (5-7 inches) behind point G depending on the size of the harness.
If you find your harness is not a good fit on your dog, you are
welcome to send it back to us for alteration or exchange.
