Default Ok need a little help

Hey as some of you know My father and I had a incident this last weekend with our treestand. My father is now hard set that if i ever want to get back into a tree I am going to have the finest tree harness known to man. lol.

What do you think is the best, money is not really and issue unless you post something for like 200$. Then it better make me fly out of the tree and land soft as a feather!!!!

I am looking at one of the vest ones for 100$. Looks really nice and is all fleece so supposidly quiet.

I need to order by tomorrow morning so I can get it by monday for opening day.

I bought a Hunters Safety System it sells for about 100 bucks but you can find them on ebay somethimes for about 60 to 70, thats where i got mine. I love it and its reservisible, camo to hunter orange, but you can also get them in all camo, they have a few pockets to hold stuff and are so simple to put on and use. Last year i bought a full body harness for the first time, and after fighting with it for the first week of season, i went back to my old linemans belt, the harness was always tangled up and almost impossoble to get on correctly in the dark mornings before hunting. This new vest is great you just put it on like a vest and snap the buckes closed and your hunting.

I also recommend the Hunters Safety System. http://www.deerhuntinggear.net/Safety_Vest.htm

Although the SOP by Summit has gotten some great reviews too.

I like the idea of the vest. Simplisity!

But' I didn't want to spend a fortune so I'll be counting on the seat of the pants to keep me safe this fall(no pun intended)

yeah well with my recent history I will do whatever it takes. 100$ harness is a lot better than a hospital stay and surgery.

The vest is nice but it doesn't come in ASAT so I use the SOP by Summit.
