🌳 Grip. Sit. Climb. Repeat.

The SINGING ROCK Arbo Master Harness is built for tree care, arborists, and anyone who lives above ground. Comfortable, adjustable, and ready for long days in the canopy, it keeps you secure while you work, or just admire the view.

Plus, it’s designed so safety doesn’t feel like a workout - you can focus on the job (or spotting that perfect branch swing).

Tag your tree pros or canopy crew, let them know their next upgrade is waiting.

🛟 When rescue calls for flexibility… and a little buoyancy.

Say hello to the Rolly Stretcher. The stretcher pros reach for when space gets tight, terrain gets tricky, and a straight line out just isn’t an option. Built without rigid frames, this rollable lifesaver can snake through confined spaces, be lifted vertically from wells or tunnels, and gets hands on the injured without fuss.

And when water’s in the mix? That’s where the floating kit steps in - bright yellow cylinders that clip on to help keep the whole setup afloat during flood or river rescue ops. Perfect combo for teams that don’t let gravity or water slow them down.

Tag your rescue crew or outdoor partners, because real heroes need real tools.

🌊 When every second counts… safety can still have style.

The Rock Wave Helmet isn’t just for the weekend warriors chasing waves, it’s built for rescue teams who tackle rivers, floods, and fast-moving water. Tough ABS outer shell, cushioned EPS interior, and a quick‑release buckle mean your head stays safe while you focus on saving lives.

But let’s be real - just because it’s built for the pros doesn’t mean adventure is far away. Whether it’s a weekend paddle or a swift‑water rescue, this helmet’s got you covered.

Tag your rescue crew or adventure buddies - they need to see this.

👀 Shield mode: ON.

You know that moment when a rogue bit of grit tries to photo‑bomb your eyeball mid‑work? Neither do we, because this SINGING ROCK visor has got your back.

Designed exclusively for the Singing Rock FLASH helmet family (so no freelancing with other lids), this polycarbonate eye shield keeps fast‑moving particles where they belong… out of your eyeballs. Lightweight, tough, and ready to snap into place, it’s the little upgrade that makes big‑time sense on site.

Tag a mate who thinks safety is optional - let’s fix that.

🚀 Hello 2026 - We’re Open! Time to bring the gear out.

New year, new goals… and let’s be honest, a lot of those resolutions start with:
“This year I’ll finally get the right gear,” or
“This year I’ll upgrade my harness,” or
“This year I’ll stop borrowing Paul’s carabiner.”
Good news - we’re here, ready, stocked, and waiting.

If your 2026 plans involve climbing higher, working safer, building bigger, or adventuring harder, now’s the time to gear up before the resolution hype fades (we all know how January goes).

Let’s kick off the year with solid equipment, safer habits, and fresh goals.
VSS is open and ready for you.

🎄Heading to the mountains Holiday Break Incoming!

VSS will be closed after today, and back in action on 6 January.
As we wrap up the year, we want to wish you a safe, and adventure-filled break.

Whether you're hiking, climbing, ziplining, rescuing, inspecting - or simply testing out the gear you picked up from us this year - take care up there.

Your kit will miss you… and we’ll miss you too.
Enjoy the downtime, enjoy the heights (responsibly), and we’ll see you in 2026!

Did you know? Some harnesses tell you when it’s time to retire them.

The SINGING ROCK Expert 3D (and several other Singing Rock work harnesses) include a visible fall-arrest indicator near the dorsal attachment. If the harness has taken a load the indicator shows, so you don’t have to guess.

That means quicker inspections, no second-guessing after an incident, and fewer risky decisions on site - small feature, big safety win.

Want one on your kit? See the Expert 3D at VSS:
