When designing the MAKO Harness we set out to solve problems identified by professional working dog handlers and enable K9 units to maximise their full potential. Utilised by Police, Defence, Search and Rescue and other government organisations the MAKO Harness is manufactured in New Zealand from the highest quality materials, designed to endure tough situations daily.
Optional Soft Armour side panels can be inserted into the concealed interior pockets of the MAKO Harness. The layered polymer panels shield vital organs from slashing and stabbing.
V-Rings independently tested to 2500Lbs and reinforced to the harness with MILSPEC webbing provide attachment points to quickly and securely prepare the K9 for hoisting, fast-roping, or deployment from aircraft. Harness Lifting Attachments sold separately.
MOLLE strips and a Velcro device panel provide a platform for various specialist attachments such as camera mounts and GPS units enabling you to adapt to mission requirements.
YKK open-ended zippers with stealth pull tabs provide quick securing of the harness, 6 load rated AustriAlpin COBRA® quick-release buckles with adjustable MILSPEC webbing provide a secure and adjustable fit for your K9 all year round. The Y shaped centre chest strap can be lengthened or shortened providing further sizing adjustments for variances in dog shape/size.
The waterproof properties of Hypalon® make this harness easy to clean and reduces odour. Hypalon provides moderate protection against dense vegetation and rugged terrain while the heavy-duty mesh allows ventilation in warmer climates.
The design of the harness allows full range of motion in the legs and chest area for high-intensity tracking or search and rescue work. Dual carrying handles at the front and rear provide ease of lifting or manoeuvring and increase control.
The sleek fit and ability to add name and ID patches make this harness suitable for service and other dogs that require a uniform.
