I am looking to spend part of my Christmas bonus on a good safety harness. The one I currently use is old and probably more unsafe than anything. (whichnot to mention is a pain in thebutt and that prevents me from using it a lot of times) So what does everyone recommend for good safety harnesses. Here are some things to keep in mind.

1) I want something quick and easy and quiet
2) I hunt five different treestands

Thanks everyone for you input.

Summit Seat O The Pants or Hunter Safety System. 2 of the very best.

I use the Hunter Saftey System. Put it on like a vest and then latch the buckles. Very easy and quick.

Summit seat o pants; awesome vest. Rear pocket carries prussic knot rope and vest comes with linesmans rings. Whatever you get, make sure it has a linesmans' setup too.

I had the seat o the pants,and really don't care for it.I found the Loggy Bayou to be the best I have ever used.I have owned two different seat o pants,and a couple other brands,the loggy is in my opinion the best.I don't care for the vest's either.

Hunter safety system. Fast and easy to use.

Having been suspended in harnesses for work related training, I would suggest you carefully look at the designs. I don't know if the Hunter Safety System design has changed, but their leg straps fastened in a manner that would pull straight up on your crotch, instead of outward to the side (in case you were suspended). That ain't worth saving a couple seconds putting it on for me.

I got a Seat of the Pants vest for Christmas, VERY easy to put on, no playing "guess which hole your head and arms go through", put it on like a vest, attach leg straps and off you go. Has D rings on the hips to use as a climbing belt for hanging stands.

Pat on the bowsite a while back did a field test of several including the hunter safety system, just about castrated himself with it. Supposedly its been redesigned since then, but check first.

I also, this year, started using a climbing rope system to be attached all the way up and down to/from my hang on stands. got it from a guy on archery talk, $30/setup. High quality climbing rope, stays attached above the stand and by the ground, sliding prussic knot you attach to to climb. I figure it slows me down by about 5-10 seconds per trip up/down the tree. Myself and family are now never off the ground without being connected.

My favorite one came free with a Big Game portable tree stand. Bought a few others brands and sent them back.
