I'm looking to buy a new harness. What kind do you guys use and why? I like the Hunter safety system vest. I like the idea of it not getting tangled up easily and having pockets on the vest. What kind do you like?

I have the regular seat-of-the-pants harness. If I had to do it over again, I would buy one of the vest-type harnesses. Mind is easy to get tangled up especially when you are putting in on in the dark. I finally had to paint the matching snaps on my harness with different colors to help put it on more easily.

I use a Summit SOP Fastback harness . It's easy to get into and use for climbing as well as a safety harness .

I have a harness that will get tangled up and can be a pain when it's dark. I was thinking about the Hunter Safety System that's mesh until I saw a vest at Wal-Mart for $18 that you unzip, put your safety harness inside of, and zip it back closed so now it's in a vest. This will be the first year to try it but it looks and seems like it will be fine.

That is what I have and I love it. the smaller straps are a lot better for bowhunting and out of the way.

You can wear this under your outer layer and it is out of the way.

I just bought the Hunters Safety System vest the other day at Bass Pro. I think I'm going to like it alot better than my old one.

My harness is attached to a military load bearing vest. Easy to get into. All my gear is carried and my stand attaches to it.

I just recently bought a HSS vest, the mesh type. i was in the market to buy a new harness and checked out the SOP and the HSS. some of the features on the HSS appealed to me. the only thing i would change on it is the lineman loops. i would rather have metal d-rings like the SOP harness i have. my SOP harness leg straps have a tendency to loose up too much.
i used the HSS harness in setting up one lock-on stand and was having problems un-hooking the linemans belt to go aruond the tree branches. after that i used the SOP harness for hanging the stands.
