I need a little help choosing a safety harness, what are you guys using, and how do you like it?

im thinking of this one, I do know that i want a climbing belt to use for hanging stands.

The Hunters Safety System vest are great...I love mine. The only downfall is I can't figure out a way to use it like a lineman's belt when climbing and hanging the stands, so I use the cheapo that I got with my summitt stand for that. But I love this safety vest, its quick, and very easy.

I second the Hunter's Safety System. To use it hanging stands, you have to buy the linesman's belt.

I made a post similar to this a couple weeks ago... you need to look at the Loggy Bayou Transformer... it has it all. It has built in linemans belt for hanging stands, which is incredible. Also has binocular/range finder straps built in. It's comfortable, easy and well made. I really like mine... I went to BassPro and tried on 3-4 different types of vest, I picked the correct one.

Deadeye is right, Loggy Bayou is the best one out there... comfortable, quiet, safe, has all the extras you need and none you don't. The only downside is you look like your fixin' to go climb a mountain, but it wears a lot smaller than it looks.
