The '''Storm harness''' is a variant of the [[Sangheili harness]] utilized by [[Sangheili Storm]].

The Storm harness is most often issued in blue, though green, red, white, and gold harnesses are sometimes used instead.<ref name="H4:EVG"/>

The [[Swords of Sanghelios]] variant is identical to the base variant with differing colors. The Sangheili Storm affiliated with the Swords of Sanghelios are colored crimson and ivory.<ref name="H5G"/>

[[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] Storm troops were known to use less sophisticated armors than usual, for example without the arm guards.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref><ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref> Unlike the full armor-set worn by the Swords of Sanghelios where the armor covers the whole body, the Storm armor in Jul 'Mdama's Covenant often leaves its wearers arms exposed.<ref name="H4:EVG">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''pages 28, 45''</ref> Significantly less affluent than the original [[Covenant Empire]],<ref name="Catherine">'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Catherine]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 4 Limited Edition]]''', ''Mission Briefing''</ref> Jul 'Mdama's Covenant was not outfitted like standard military.<ref name="dawn">'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level, ''[[Dawn (level)|Dawn]]''</ref>

The command-rank variant is identical to the base variant except it showcases the brilliant gold of the former [[Covenant]] empire.<ref name="glassed">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-looking-glassed '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: Looking Glassed'']</ref> It also has purple glyphs on it.

After spending several centuries creating parts for other Sangheili harnesses. [[Lodam Armory]] put together their efforts and made the Storm harness as its first fully in-house armor system alongside a [[Ranger harness#Storm harness based|Ranger derivative]] of the suit.<ref name="CFFR">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-fury-s-road '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: Fury's Road'']</ref>  

The harness was used by the original Covenant during the [[Human-Covenant War]], where it was used by Storm shock troopers keeping the peace on frontier worlds. It saw much more widespread adoption among both the resurgent [[Covenant remnants|Covenant]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] after the war among less specialized forces.<ref name="Combo"/>

Lodam Armory also later created the [[Type-55 storm rifle]], that carries the heritage of this suit with sharing its name.<ref name="CFFR"/>
