  I used it 3 times for the first time, it seems quite good. It is relatively easy to wear, its fastenings inspire confidence. My builder friend liked it. The belt is from Spain, the label shown in the photo has CE marking... There will definitely be better ones with more money than the €69 I paid and with greater safety. I made a good choice, I wouldn't go for something cheaper. It seems generally good and well-made.

  Maximum rated load 100kg,
  Maximum lanyard length 2m,
  EN 361: 2002
  EN 358: 2018
  Three rear D-ring attachments.

  I chose this safety belt mainly because it has three points with D-ring attachments for more safety, because most cheaper belts have one D-ring point at the back where the main strap is tied. The belt comes in three sizes. It has probably passed these tests and the tests were done with a weight of 100kg. So if I were to weigh more than 100kg with the equipment, it would be logical to go for a safety belt that has been tested for more weight. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is a safety product and they could have set the limit at 150kg, meaning they could have designed and tested it for 150kg to cover almost everyone. At 100kg, there are many people slightly below or above. At least it should be clear and obvious that it is for a total weight of up to 100kg including clothing, boots, belt weight, and equipment such as a chainsaw, as all of these can add 8-10kg. No one tells you these things. At least on the packaging, above all and with large numbers, there should be a warning that it has been tested with a load of 100kg. Of course, in small letters, it has the tests it has passed, which you need to search for on the internet to see what they mean and especially to discover the limit of 100kg. Sellers, generally speaking, do not know all the tools, you have to figure it out yourself. For example, they told me that firefighters use it, but if the firefighter weighs 70-80-90kg, it's fine... But if the user weighs 101kg without equipment, and with equipment like a chainsaw and others, it goes up to 110kg, what happens then? I don't have enough experience.

  Information from the internet:
  EN 361: 2002
  EN 358: 2018

  (Generally, some belts mention a lifespan limit of ten years from the day of manufacture, and five years from the time someone starts using it.)
