[TowerTalk] Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Climber harness ???

[Ryan Turner, K0RET]

Here you go: http://www.sitepro1.com/store/cart.php?m=product_list&c=70
$235 USD and up. You really dont want to go any cheaper than this unless
you use rock climbing gear, in which case you need to instead spend more
time getting to learn your equipment and understanding what's safe and
whats not. I personally use a chest harness and an ice climbing sit
harness, both made for rock climbing, but that's because I also spend time
either in trees or on walls. My partner uses a regular safety harness.

I'd not consider any used options for the sit harness or safety harness. Do
whatever you feel safe with, but remember that this is your protection
system. If it fails, you'll most likely die.
