Road Use Approval: Reference: Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) inspection Manual; Passenger vehicles (M1) dated May 2023.

TRS' lightweight 140 gram quick release buckle is of composite construction and is attached to the right hand lap strap on 6 point single seater harnesses.

Webbing Colour
TRS Harnesses are available in 9 different webbing colours: Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, Green, Grey/Silver, Orange, Pink, and Miami Blue.
Red, Blue, and Black harnesses are the most common colours, so harnesses in those colours are usually in stock, if you need your harnesses in a hurry.
Thread Colour
As standard, TRS Harnesses are stitched using the same colour thread as the webbing, but contrasting colours are also available. There are 9 different thread colours available: Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, Green, Grey/Silver, Orange, Pink, and Miami Blue.
Adjusters
You can upgrade the harnesses to the Superlite version. As standard TRS harnesses use steel anti-creep adjusters. Also available are premium aluminium alloy adjusters, which in addition to being lightweight, offer a smoother and faster adjustment. The Superlite harnesses use these lightweight aluminium adjusters on the shoulder straps.
They are highly recommended for vehicles being shared between multiple drivers, and in general we always recommend upgrading to the aluminium adjusters due to their premium look and feel.
Standard Steel Adjusters
50mm (2") steel adjusters
75mm (3") steel adjusters
Premium Aluminium Adjusters
50mm (2") aluminium adjusters
75mm (3") aluminium adjusters
Extras
TRS Shoulder Pads
TRS Webbing Cutter
With these harnesses we offer some optional extras for your comfort and safety, which you can select using the dropdown boxes above.
A pair of TRS Shoulder Pads are available in three colours: black, red, and blue. They simply attach with velcro around the shoulder strap area of the harness, for added comfort for the wearer. They will be provided in the appropriate size for the harness you choose.
Also available is a TRS Webbing Cutter, for use in case of emergencies. This is a knife for a driver, passenger or marshal to cut through harnesses and webbing in the event of an accident, to quickly release the wearer and avoid being trapped in the car. The cutter meets the MSA Blue Book requirement which states "Belt cutter(s) must be carried on board at all times", so it's a must-have when racing.
