[TowerTalk] Tower Climbing Harness

[George Huling]

Brent,
The ExoFit XP climbing harness is great.  My back feel 100% better
than when I was using just a belt.  Wish I had purchased harness years ago.
I purchased my from www.tessco.com .  You need to get size info before
ordering as these are built for really large people, missed placed the
chart but worth phone call before ordering.
73,
George

There is no doubt that the ExoFit harness is a great device...

I do MUCH more tower work than your average tower 
owner and I use a simple belt w/ D-Rings.  If I 
was doing this professionally, I'd want and be 
required to have some sort of fall arrest 
harness.  But for your once or twice a year 
weekend warrior, the full harness would be 
cumbersome.  This is my OPINION and its never a 
bad idea to have MORE, but is it necessary?  I don't think so.

My belt is safe, comfortable, and not 
$300.00+!  If money is not an issue, go get it!
