Leather Body Chaîne - Metal-strap harness, 605 g

605 grams: this is the heaviest harness in the whole Leather Body range at this catalogue, three times the Holster's weight. The manufacturer describes it with metal straps and adjustment, in sizes S to XL. Notably, it weighs eighty-five grams more than the Chaîne III, whose description is nevertheless fuller.

Why choose this model?

• 605 g: the highest weight in the range, 405 g above the Holster.
• No permissible load published: the metal decorates, it holds nothing.
• Metal straps, a wording used for this reference alone.
• Rolled parcel 670 mm long, where the chain models arrive flat.
• Sizes S to XL stated, with no chest measurement given.

How to use it

1. Unroll the piece and hang it overnight before the first wearing.
2. Adjust it seated, back straight, then check standing.
3. Keep two fingers' clearance under each strap.
4. Check that no metal part runs through the hollow of the armpit.
5. Store it hanging, never folded across the metal parts.

The Chaîne III drops to 520 g by switching to chains, and the Holster weighs only 200 g. See also understanding materials and starting BDSM safely.

Care and precautions

Leather goes neither in a machine nor under a tap: a barely damp cloth, saddle soap if needed, air-drying well away from any radiator. A piece dried too fast hardens and cracks, and nothing softens it afterwards. Store it hanging rather than folded. The manufacturer does not publish what the metal parts are made of: with a known nickel allergy, test at the wrist before wearing it for long. On wearing: two fingers' clearance under each strap, nothing pressing into the hollow of the armpit, and since no permissible load is published, this harness is worn but does not hold — it never serves as an attachment point. Loosen at the first tingling.

Frequently asked questions

Why is it heavier than the Chaîne III?

The manufacturer does not explain it. This reference weighs 85 g more, with a different description: metal straps here, chains there.

What is the difference between metal straps and chains?

They are the manufacturer's two wordings, with no drawing or measurement to tell them apart.

Is 605 g heavy to wear?

It is three times the Holster. The weight sits on the shoulders and makes itself felt after an hour.

Does the metal contain nickel?

The composition is not published. With a known allergy, test at the wrist before wearing it for long.

Which size should I take?

A range of S to XL is stated, with no chest measurement. Measure yourself and check the adjustment on arrival.

SoPigalle tip: six hundred and five grams make themselves felt after an hour, on the shoulders first. Wear it ten minutes at home, seated then standing, before going out in it: weight rather than adjustment decides whether a piece lasts a whole evening.
