Safety harness
 

I'm in need of a safety harness. I was hoping to get the opinion of people who actually use them, rather than trust a salesman. I'm pretty small, 5'1", 120 lbs.Any advice?

Go for a 5 point style like Seat-of-the-pants, or a vest such as this:



Brand is up to you since they're all made to the same minimum standards of the Treestand Mfrs, Association. The vest above is around $40 at: Sportsman's Guide

The HSS in mesh is worth the money.

Another vote for the HSS they are very easy to put on and are made to fit you (size specific). The pro series are great, mesh is very comfortable in all weather

Summit seat o pants is what I have been using this year and it is fantastic. Comfortable, easy to adjust and put on and well made.

I am similar in size and use the hunters safey system. I am exrtremly happy with it and did a review on it a few years ago.

I have a HUNTER SAFETY SYSTEM mesh one, cost $140 at Cabelas. Yiu better get used to it before you use it because you are restricted on any shot that is to your side. It might save lives but like I said, if you are not used to it you will be restricted on how you shoot from your treestand.

I like the one from lone wolf. It goes on quick and easy, and putting it on the tree is a dream compared to what I've used in the past.

ive got the gorilla vest like the one in the picture (in the first "reply") and i like it very much. the only thing is im 6'5'' 260lbs. and im a little too tall for it so the leg things ride in my crotch like all the other harnesses. and i bought it hoping they wouldnt due to the "drop leg" design. but w/your size it will probably work perfectly. oh another thing about the gorilla vest. the vest its self isnt attached to the harness. so i broke out the ol sewin machine and attached it :)

I haven't found a place yet that can touch bowhunter's superstore for the HSS Mesh. $99.95

RE: Safety harness
 

i second that. very comfortable and easy to use

RE: Safety harness
 

I have the Seat of the Pants vest and it is great, VERY easy to put on and adjust, when wearing it in the tree I don't even notice I have it on. The convertable climbing belt makes hanging stands easy as well.

I've got the HSS pro mesh, too.....but if you hunt in high temps.....I'd go with a strap model until the temps get cooler. The pro mesh is a great harness....but it's a little hot to wear in higher temps.

I wear a cheapo that came with a lock-on in warmer sits.
