I bought the same harness a couple of months back. It's got a built-in
chair. Was on the tower Friday for about 12 hours and while my feet and
body were really unhappy with the long time on the tower, I had no
discomfort from the harness. Definately recommended.

When I was shopping for a full body harness to replace my old climbing
belt, I learned the hard way. I purchased a couple of harnesses that were
marketed as a "tower harness". Indeed, that's what they were. But they had
features on them more suitable for large TV and radio towers. They came
with bosun chair-like seat bars and large appendages from which D rings
were attached to. They were totally unsuitable for smaller faced amateur
radio towers. I finally spoke with a knowledgeable rep at a large online
tower gear retailer who understood my needs, and turned me onto the
DBI-Sala "ExoFit Nex" Rock/Rescue harness. When you put it on, the first
thing you notice is how comfortable it is. I've worn this harness for an
entire day and it never lost its comfort. It has D rings in all the correct
locations. The main side rings are close to the hips and not on stalks.
There is a chest ring along with a rear D ring for fall arrest purposes.
There are fall arrest free hook stowage locations on the front of the
harness that feature tear-away keepers. If you climb small-faced towers
like the Rohn G series, this harness is the one to get. You won't be
disappointed. Is it quality piece of safety gear and is priced accordingly.
