Description
xThe GRIPPS® Universal Back Support is an ergonomic, fully adjustable back support designed to enhance comfort, improve weight distribution, and provide lumbar support when used with a tool belt. Its innovative expandable wing design allows the fit to be adjusted in seconds, accommodating waist sizes from 29" to 46" for a secure and personalised fit.
The universal sizing eliminates the need to select individual sizes, making it an ideal solution for work crews of varying body types and simplifying procurement with a single product that suits all users.
Constructed from durable 1680D ballistic polyester, the Universal Back Support features extra-thick padding and breathable mesh panels to maximise comfort during extended periods of wear. Independently tested and ANSI/ISEA 121-2023 compliant, it is built to meet the demands of harsh work environments.
Designed specifically to reduce fatigue and strain during long shifts, it pairs best with GRIPPS® Universal Leather Belt and is compatible with the GRIPPS® Leather Scaffolders range.
For added functionality, the back support incorporates two integrated tether anchor points, each rated to 2.5 kg (5.5 lb), enabling tools to be tethered directly to the support. Universal suspender attachment points also allow compatibility with virtually any suspender system, providing greater flexibility across a wide range of work setups.

A: The dual anchor points are rated to 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) per anchor point. Designed for tool tethering.
Q: Is the back support ANSI/ISEA 121-2023 compliant?
A: Yes. It is independently tested and certified for dropped-object prevention in work-at-height applications.
Q: How do I adjust the size?

Q: Is it comfortable for all-day wear?
