    I've been using one of the orginal HSS vests, but I often find it big, and bulky for my liking, and on hot days it's just another layer I have on making me sweat.

    I like the looks of the Muddy harness, and might pick it up, but wanted some reviews on it and other versions.

    I have spent 250 hours in a Muddy. Great harness. I would make only minor adjustments to it, I would check out the Gorilla harness as well. It looks similar.

    I use the original HSS too, and I think I am upgrading next season. I have been looking pretty hard at the Muddy

    I have the HSS pro vest. I like it but will be looking at the Muddy when the times comes for a new one.

    HSS Pro I dont mind the vest styles at all. If it is too big for your liking they have the new ultra light version which I hear is nice. just the harness with no vest.

    I'm using a seat o the pants harness, been using it for years. I bought a HSS vest a few years back and didn't like it at all. Too heavy and the seat belt buckles were too bulky for my liking. With the SOP, I put it on under my clothing as I get dressed in the morning and never know I have it on.

    One thing I'm looking for though, and maybe someone here can help me out, is a light, maybe mesh, vest that I can sew into my SOP. I like the tangle free nature of the vests, just not the other stuff that comes with them. If I can find a mesh vest that isn't a darn safety orange, I would be set. Any ideas?

    Another Seat O the Pants. Easiest harness I have ever used and I have used quite a few. Heck I have fallen out of my stand 8 times and it has saved me every time....

    I'm Still using my Loggy Bayou Mega Transformer Harness, It works for me. Easy to put on and fairly comfortable while wearing ( about as comfortable as a harness can get that is). I'll probably buy an HSS for my next one.
