Safety Meets Comfort: The Stratos 22AL Series Lightweight Full Body Harness

Every worker at height knows the feeling: long days strapped into a harness that’s heavy, bulky, and tough on the body. Safety is non-negotiable, but when comfort is sacrificed, the workday becomes harder than it needs to be. At FrenchCreek, we set out to solve that challenge. The result is the Stratos 22AL Series lightweight full body harness — designed to deliver the protection you need without weighing you down.

Built on the Stratos Legacy

The Stratos Series has always been known for rugged reliability and trust in the field. For years, professionals have counted on it to keep them safe in demanding environments. But safety equipment should evolve just as jobsite challenges evolve. That’s why our team asked: How can we keep everything people love about the Stratos while making it lighter, stronger, and easier to wear?

The answer was the 22AL Series.

Why Lightweight Matters on the Jobsite

Weight may not sound like much when you first put a harness on, but ask anyone who wears one for 8–10 hours a day: every ounce counts. A traditional full-body harness can put pressure on the shoulders and lower back, leading to fatigue, soreness, and even job distractions.

The 22AL Series lightweight full-body harness solves that problem. By incorporating all-aluminum D-rings and hardware, the harness significantly reduces weight without compromising strength. The lighter build makes a big difference during long climbs, extended shifts, or when bending and reaching repeatedly throughout the day. Less weight means more energy to focus on the task at hand — and that translates directly to both comfort and safety.

The Difference-Maker: The Aluminum Cam Buckle

One of the most important upgrades in the Stratos 22AL Series is the new aluminum cam buckle. Unlike traditional buckles that can slip or loosen, this buckle locks the webbing firmly in place. That means no “creep” when you’re reaching overhead, bending forward, or working in motion.

At the same time, the buckle makes adjustments quickly and effortlessly. Workers can achieve a secure, proper fit in seconds — without the frustration of straps loosening during the day. For crews that need to get ready fast and stay productive, that small improvement has a big impact.

Comfort That Doesn’t Compromise Safety

A harness is only as good as the person wearing it. If it’s uncomfortable, it’s tempting to adjust it improperly or loosen it too much, which can compromise protection. That’s why the 22AL Series lightweight full body harness is designed with both comfort and compliance in mind.

Standard features like a comfort back and waist pad, aluminum bayonet chest buckle, and aluminum bayonet leg buckles provide a secure fit that workers can actually stand to wear all day. The harness works with you instead of against you — keeping safety front and center without making the job harder.

Configurations for Every Job

No two work sites are exactly alike, and no two workers have identical needs. That’s why the Stratos 22AL Series isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. The harness is available in several different configurations, each tailored to specific applications. Whether you’re climbing towers, working utility poles, or handling industrial maintenance, there’s a 22AL setup designed for your job. No matter the task, we’ve got you covered.

The Next Step in Fall Protection

The Stratos 22AL Series lightweight full-body harness represents more than just another piece of safety gear. It’s the next step in combining advanced engineering with real-world usability. Workers stay safer when they’re comfortable. Companies benefit from gear that helps employees work with less fatigue. And crews can trust equipment that’s built to last shift after shift.

At FrenchCreek, our mission is simple: safety that feels natural to wear. That’s exactly what the 22AL Series delivers.

Standard Features Include:

• Comfort back & waist pad
