I finally found a safety vest that I feel comfortable wearing. I am a big guy and never liked the thought of hanging from my tree and not being able to climb back in my climber. I never hunt from a lock on and I do have a few ladder stands. I just couldnt do it. Die hanging in a tree or take the fall. That was my mentallity about the issue. Last night I walked out of Bass Pro with a CDS safety harness from BIG BOYZ. It is rated for 400lbs and if you fall out of your tree it has a release tether that will slowly lower you to the ground. Moral of the story is no matter if you are 100-400 they make a vest for you....Go spend the money and get one....

How much of an investment? I have a Big Boy friend that is important to me, and I would wager he doesn't have that good a harness.

I use the ones that come with my stands and although the may save me they are kinda a pain. I have been looking for a good quality/comfort one. Thanks for the info.

Bass pro had these and they cost 269.00
They look like a camelback hydration backpackwith leg straps.
There is 30 feet of rope coiled up in backpack to
Allow you to lower yourself down...
