Expedition harness. This anatomically formed harness, with extra padding for the hip and back and a removable backrest, is ideal for expeditions. Broad shoulder straps and a chest strap ensure excellent load distribution for the skier. The pulk shaft attachment points are reinforced.
For heavy loads (more than 60 kg), Fjellpulken recommends using this expedition harness.

Fits perfectly, however 1 of the buckles broke during first use just by unbuckling it. Luckily it was one of the crotch straps that we didn't want to use anyway, but it does makes you think about the (lack of) quality buckles Fjellpulken used here...

A fantastic product and have helped with contributing the weight across my upper body. I haven't tried pulling a very heavy load yet though. One thing I would mention is that even after pulling the waist straps tight all the way to the buckle, the waist bands are still a little bit too big. Not a problem now in the winter when I wear two layers, but not sure they will fit in the summer with only one thin layer on.

Having used the Fjeldpulken standard harness for an extended period, I can attest to its functionality. However, the experience was far from enjoyable, with the shoulder straps often causing discomfort. This is why I wholeheartedly recommend the Expedition Harness Pro. It not only fits remarkably better but also ensures a smoother transfer of force from the engine to the pulk, aligning perfectly with your body. The standout feature is the comfort it provides, thanks to its wider shoulder straps, a breast strap, and backpack-like design for the sholder straps. So far, I have used it for a four-day backcountry tour in Jämtland/Sweden, with a lot of height and elevation to overcome. For me, it has been the investment in new/upgraded equipment that I have gained the most in many years. Are there any drawbacks? A good smaller back to be attached or integrated would be perfect, but I think I can find a third-party accessory for that part. I will use the Fjeldpulen Stardard harness again.

Highly customisable harness, with lots of straps to adapt to any morphology. I'm 1m69 / 70kg, and I adujust it to nearly the minimum settings (without big down jacket). So if you're smaller, it might be a bit too big, go be checked with the seller, if a shorter version exists.
