RE: CLIMBING STANDS
Not sure what you mean by retractable safty harnes thing. But I use the hunters safety system and it is easy on and easy off. You can adjust it to the amount of clothing you are wearing. I got a couple other four point harneses but one is almost like apuzzle in trying to get on, but once on it was comfterable. The hunters safety system can be used like a linemans belt in putting up lock on type stands. And no I do not work for or sell these safety harnesses, just use one.
