    I am curious if anyone has tried this harness before. I have been thinking of switching from my HSS to the Muddy harness and just seen the commercial for this one and it appears to be very simular to the Muddy. The price is the same so I am just curious which one might be better or why you would purchase one over the other.

    Thanks for posting that. Don't know how I missed that review before. Looks like a nice harness but I think that I will just order a Muddy also!

    I have never even seen that safety harness before. I have a HSS vest now but it is so bulky and it doesn't breath at all so it gets so hot.

    I have been using the ultra lite during some very warm weather 90+ and it has been great. That was the whole reason I never got the hss vest, I didn't like the idea of all that material. The ultra light is extremely comfortable and very easy to use. The "seat" is excellent when using the lineman's rope to hang sticks and stand. Great safety harness.

    I got the Exotech this year and am loving it. Haven't used the Muddy so can't tell you there but beats the heck out of those heavy HSS vests I can tell you that. The Exotech seems heavy when you get it out of the box but it is really comfy and doesn't feel heavy at all while on. The leg belts are nice and don't ride up. Also the fall strap seems to stay back and out of the way real good. Fast and easy adjustments.

    Both the Gorilla and Muddy seem like great safety harnesses. Might just have to purchase both of them and try them both out!
