    Muddy for me!! But I must admit that the new Tree Spider Harness from Scentblocker looks pretty neat.

    I just came back from a trade show last week. You guys MUST check Rescue One CDS harnesses! I guarantee you that its worth looking into! Unlike the rest of them, you can reuse this harness if you fall!

    I've used the Hunter Safety System vest for years , its well made and easy to jump into , the only thing i dont like is the weight of the heavy buckles down around my legs , especially when i'm walking , i'm going to get the Tree Spider this year i think , but still looking for other options myself .

    I've been using an original Seat O' the Pants harness for several years and still can't find anything I like better. I had a HSS vest a couple years ago and just did not care for it. Too heavy and was difficult to wear under my layers like I do with the SOP. With the SOP, I can put it on under my out layer clothing and I never know I have it on.

    I do however really like the looks of the Tree Spider and will definitely be looking at one once they hit the shops. Though, I've heard the vest is almost 200 dollars.

    Been Using Hunter safety system last 3 years. I like being able to keep everything (release, windicator, rangefinder etc in the pockets, then you can just throw it on and go! Extremely comfortable as well!
