I have been looking to replace my old "wrap around the waist" safety belt. Anybody have any pro's/con's on some of the full body and/or chest safety harnesses? I am wanting a harness that will double as as a safety belt and a pole climbers rope, for climbing and descending. I have pretty much already determined I would rather have chest safety harness because they seem easier to use and more accomodating to my methods, unless someone here changes my mind, but haven't found any that has the dual function. I have been looking for a chest harness that has "D rings" to accomodate a pole climbers rope. My only concerns (two) about the full body harness is when do you put it on and those straps around your crotch have got to be binding. Depending on the weather I sometime "pack in" my cold weather coat and bibs and sometime I don't. Sometime I will get dressed at the base of the tree and sometime not until I am in the tree. Do you where these things under your heavy cloths? They almost have to be outside your bibs in order to use the pole climbers rope.

Any help is appreciated!
