I just had professional tree trimmers here for three days. These guys spend all
day up in the trees. They use PETZL gear. It is spendy -$300-400 price range
but your life is worth it. The style in part depends on how long you will be up
on your tower. If you are going to spend extended periods of time up high, you
want to be comfortable.
BTW, After trimming my tall 100+ ft trees back, the SWR on my TH-11 at 80 feet
improved on all five bands. Not a huge change but definitely better than it
was and back to where the curves were when I installed the beam 8 years ago.
I also had to have a large amount of trimming done in 2012 when I replaced the
TH6 with the TH-11. In both instances, the reflectors had gotten snagged in
tree branches. It doesn't take much to stop the Tailtwister !
