Choosing the right harness for your off-road vehicle isn’t just about safety—it’s about maximizing your ride’s potential. Whether you’re tearing through dunes or tackling rocky trails, the right harness keeps you secure and comfortable, letting you focus on the thrill. But with so many options, where do you start?
Don’t worry—we’ve got the lowdown on what you need to know to find the perfect fit for your adventures.
4-Point Harnesses
If you ride leisurely, our 4-point harnesses are the perfect option. Precisely, our 4.2 auto-latch harness features an automotive-style buckle instead of the traditional latch and link (now SureLatch) system that people struggle with. Riding on trails is made easy with our auto-style latch by offering extremely fast and easy entry and exit.
4.2 Harness
Our 4.2 harness is our best-selling harness and offered in nine different color options. What does 4.2 stand for? To put it simply, “4” is how many belts or belt attachment points the harness has, while the “.2” just means the width of the belts (which in this case are two inches).
Since the 4.2 harness features the auto-latch and the 2″ straps, it makes it extremely universal for all ages.
4.3 Harness
Are you looking for a little bit more of a traditional harness with wider straps? Our 4.3 harness features the latch-and-link belt system instead of the automotive-latch and has 3″ straps for the shoulder and lap.
This belt is still easy to get out of since it does not have a 5-point belt between the legs. We even offer the 4.3 in various colors that will help match your ride and customized PRP seats.
5-Point Harnesses
Do you take riding a little bit more seriously? Do you show no mercy while riding in the sand or dirt? Our 5-point harnesses offer the perfect combination of security and comfort while out on the trails. We offer a variety of different options of 5-points to fit your needs. We also offer the 5.3 in five different color options.
5.2 Harness
The 5.2 Harness features 2″ lap and shoulder belts but will provide additional safety with the 5th point which runs between the legs. The 5th point plays an important role as it prevents the lap belt from riding up too high as well as your body from sliding out the bottom of the belt during a roll over.
5.3 Harness
You can take it a step further with our 5.3 Harness. Using, 3″ shoulder belts and 3″ lap belts for the ultimate containment in a harness, this belt is also SFI 16.1 certified which is required in most types of off-road racing. If you are strictly using harnesses for play, you’ll be more than confident with this option holding you in your seat out in the dunes or desert.
Options for 5.3 Harnesses
With the 5.3 Harness, PRP allows you to customize several different options. Head to the 5.3 Custom harness page and choose your lap belt attachment, lap belt adjustment, and shoulder style.
Bolt-in or Clip-In Attachments
Depending on how your vehicle is equipped, your lap belt is going to connect by bolting in (more common) or clipping on to an eye-bolt (mostly used by racers but convenient when you need to take your belts out often). PRP offers clip-in lap belt options you can add to your 5.3 Harnesses.
Roller Adjusters or EZ Adjusters
Roller adjusters are the traditional style you’ve probably seen on most belts. They work just fine but make it difficult to loosen up the harness when not driving or trying to see your line. PRP was the first to introduce the EZ Adjuster, allowing for easy adjustment of the shoulder or lap belts. Simply pull the adjuster lever up and the belt slides through smoothly.
Standard or Padded HANS Shoulder Belts
Our pads have been called the most comfortable on the market. The Standard pads cover the top of your shoulder giving you all-day comfort. When using a HANS device—mostly needed by racers to secure the driver’s head in case of an accident—the shoulder belts need to be thinner to fit through the device. PRP offers shorter pads which don’t interfere with the device while still offering protection for the driver’s chest.
Options for 5.2 and 5.3 Harnesses
Removable Shoulder Pads
Are you looking for a leisure ride with your race belts? We made the pads removable so you can play comfortably. If you’re racing, you can remove the shoulder pads to accommodate a Hans device much easier! Another benefit of removable shoulder pads is that they are super easy to clean!
Cam-Lock Harnesses
A harness is the most essential safety equipment for your car.
Two of the reasons to choose this harness are its convenience and comfort. We designed our Camlock harness to be easy to secure and quick to release, so you’re safe from a dangerous situation.
PRP’s Cam-Lock Harnesses feature our exclusive CleanLatch Technology, with dust-resistant seals and rubberized tab ends to prevent dirt and dust from getting in. Other new features include our thick shoulder pads for comfort, which are now removable, so you can easily clean them or use this harness with any neck restraint system. The EZ adjusters on the shoulders and lap belts allow you to adjust your belts quickly, even if they are dirty or muddy. The Bolt-In Tabs on the Shoulders and Lap are easily removable, so you can swap in Clip-in Tabs if desired.
SFI 16.1 certified for racing!
3 Inch Harness Belts vs. 2 Inch Harness Belts
Still wondering what belts to go with? An easy way to assist with deciding is taking a measuring tape to your shoulder from your neck to see how many inches of space you have. Those with broader shoulders, you’d generally want the 3″ belts and for those with smaller shoulders or want to make sure to avoid any type of rubbing along the neck, we recommend the 2″ belts.
