Which Safety Harness is best for a Climber?
I'm in the market for a new safety harness. I have a Summit harness that is 4-5 years old, but its a pain in the butt to put on/take off and now its seems I misplaced it. Lots of safety harnesses on the market, but I'm looking for one that works well with a climber since I use it more than hang-on stands. Any recommendations?

Hunter Safety Systems makessome good products, real easy to get in and out of. The Pro Series HSS-6 is more lighweight and has some mesh, the Reversible HSS-4 has hunter orange on the inside and can be reversed during gun season.

just make sure it a 5 point system. Some features I've seen is when they have folds sewn in the back strap to absorb some of the energy from the fall. Not necessary, but helps your body out.

I use the Gorilla Full body harness with climbing aidwith all my stands. It allows me to have 3 points of contact at all times while climbing, hanging stands, taking them down, and sitting.

I have the hunter safety system pro, it is a nice vest however it is one hot son of a gun. I took the prussic knot off my summit saefty belt and use it on the HSS. I like it but its kinda heavy and kinda hot... personally I dont think there is anything wrong with the summit safety harness..
