They test and compare the SOP vs the HSS vest. They even have video of the fall from stand for each. Be sure to watch the HSS video. It's a little painful.

I have a Hss vest and like it alot but I hope I never fill from a tree in it or anyting else. I think that thay are just trying to sell the "seat-o-pants" vest, jmo.

Umm, I don't really see how they could have skewed that test any? The HSS vest sucks because it's leg straps are too far in to the middle of the body and they pull up in your crotch. It's just a bad design.
