The harness belt (1) comprises a dual pelvis belt (3), two shoulder belts (2) and two crotch belts (4). The belt segments (5) of the pelvis belts (3) as well as the shoulder belts (2) can be joined by means of belt tongue (9, 8) to a belt buckle (7) wherein the crotch belts (4), by means of the buckle proximate loops (15) surround the belt tongues (9) of belt segments (5) of pelvis belt (3), and are secured in circumferential direction against movement relative to the belt buckle (7) and wherein belt tongues (9) are configured with recesses (11) adapted for the belt tongues (9) in belt buckle (7). The loops (15) are connected to the buckle proximate ends (20) of the crotch belts (4) at an obtuse angle.
