Blue Force Gear Eliminates Multi-System Equipment Burden with the Integrated Stealth Harness

 

POOLER, Ga. – Professionals operating around aircraft, vertical terrain, and dynamic mission environments have traditionally been forced to carry separate systems for load carriage, restraint, climbing, and emergency response. Blue Force Gear® solves that problem with the patented Integrated Stealth Harness (ISH™), combining a gun belt, climbing harness, tourniquet, and travel restraint in one lightweight, certified platform.

Purpose-built for personnel operating on the ground, at height, in and around aircraft, the ISH is rated to hold more than 3,000 pounds. Whether conducting ground operations, working from rotary- or fixed-wing aircraft, executing vertical-access missions, or responding to emergencies, users gain immediate access to climbing and lifesaving capabilities without carrying separate systems.

Modular, removable leg loops deploy in seconds when harness functionality is required. Integrated windlass points support emergency tourniquet application and can serve as attachment points for rappelling friction hitches, adding critical versatility without increasing equipment burden.

Built on Blue Force Gear's proven MOLLEminus® platform, the ISH delivers lightweight performance with the durability expected of professional-use equipment. Its anatomical curve design creates a secure, comfortable fit during extended wear, whether on foot, in vehicles, aboard aircraft, or suspended at height.

The ISH is UIAA and EU certified as a Type C Mountaineering Harness, validating its safety and performance while preserving the low-profile design demanded by modern tactical users.

"The BFG® Integrated Stealth Harness represents exactly what Blue Force Gear was built to do — solve real operational problems through smarter and lighter equipment design," said Stephen Hilliard, Vice President of Design. "This system allows the user to transition from gunfighter to climber in seconds without sacrificing capability, comfort, or load carriage efficiency."

By integrating multiple mission-essential functions into one platform, the ISH reduces equipment burden, simplifies loadouts, and gives professionals immediate access to critical capability when seconds matter.
