Harness

A harness was a type of gear consisting of a set of straps and fittings attached around the torso of an individual. A common type of military harness, called a halter, consisted of a strap around the neck that left the shoulders and back bare. Such halters were frequently equipped with pockets to hold power packs and ammunition. While the Wookiees of Kashyyyk wore that type of gear chiefly in times of war, the male Calians of Shiva IV wore little else than ornated harnesses in all circumstances. A safety harness was a utility belt worn by miners from Telos IV in the period following the Mandalorian Wars, and aided them in setting mines.
