I say they are worth it. I got 2 one for me and one for my son. We will NOT go in the tree without them. They are FAR more comfortable than what we had and safety is ALL that HSS does. Others I have owned come loose just walking in the woods. This one stays where I put it ALL day. When I have the kind of money involved in all the other items I use for hunting I will NOT skimp on a harness.

GMMAT you haven't worn it yet this year? You can fall early season just as easy as late season. Do your family a favor and just wear it. Yes it may be warm but come on. Wear it for them.
