Tech Vest MSA W65

Purpose-Built for W65 Self-Rescuer Stability

The w65 tech vest is engineered to securely carry the W65 self-rescuer in a stable, ergonomic position on the torso. By removing the unit from the belt line, the vest significantly improves comfort and freedom of movement—particularly for workers who climb ladders, bend, or navigate uneven underground surfaces. This configuration ensures the device stays secure, accessible and properly oriented throughout daily operations.

Enhanced Comfort for Long Shifts

Traditional belt-mounted self-rescuers contribute to hip fatigue, restricted motion and PPE interference. This vest eliminates those issues by distributing weight evenly across the upper body. Adjustable shoulder, chest and waist straps allow workers to fine-tune fit depending on clothing layers and movement demands. Reinforced construction ensures durability in harsh mining environments.

Built for Underground and Tunnelling Conditions

The vest is manufactured using abrasion-resistant textiles, reinforced seams and a stable mounting platform designed specifically for the W65 unit. It prevents bounce during walking and climbing, maintains device orientation and helps ensure reliable emergency access should an incident occur.

Compatible with Additional Tech Vest Accessories

Workers can expand their setup using accessories such as the
Radio Pouch,
Measuring Tool Pouch,
or
2L Hydration Pack.
This allows full customisation for maintenance, operations, and supervisory roles.

Safety Information

For general guidance on emergency breathing apparatus and mining safety, refer to the
NIOSH Mining Safety guidelines.

Summary

Combining secure equipment placement with ergonomic design, the w65 tech vest helps crews work more comfortably and confidently while keeping critical PPE immediately accessible.
