A chest harness is worn around the shoulders, usually with a sit harness so as to provide an additional attachment point. This attachment point allows for better balance in some situations such as when carrying a heavy pack (as the center of mass is below the connection to the rope) and when the person in the harness may be unable to maintain an upright position (due to injury or other influences).
It provides additional stability when climbing. Designed for indoor and institutional use, the harness features color-coded nylon webbing to make it easier to put on. For adjustments, you can use the buckles. The harness must be worn with a sit harness. It cannot be used alone. A chest harness helps to stabilize the upper body.

While both materials are strong and resilient which is perfect for a chest harness. While both provide mobility, Polyester would rank better as it is more breathable. It is also more durable ad resists much better against chemicals.
A chest harness supports the upper body and acts as a protection for a climber or for a user who does the heavy lifting. A sit harness, on the other hand, is used for reasons other than these, and cannot replace a chest harness. It should be noted, that it is preferable to pair the chest harness with the sit harness for maximum protection.
