Title: Summit safety harness?
Post by: VTer on October 16, 2010, 07:47:00 AM
Does anybody know if the harness's that come with summit treestands have the linesman loops on the harness? If so, does it have the linesman belt or rope?

Each FastBack harness comes with a heavy duty safety rope with a sliding Prusik hitch (FastBack Cub models get a 30' long safety rope), a mesh, sewn fabric back, low profile buckles that won't snag on your clothes, A high quality locking carabineer and snap clip to convert the safety rope into a lineman's belt, a 5 year limited warranty and years of engineering knowhow. Each FastBack harness is also built right here in the U.S.A.

This is right off of Summitt's website.  i use an older fastback deluxe and love it!  To answer your question, you can use it as a lineman's belt to climb also.  Hope this helps.    :thumbsup:

Thanks Randy but I'm talking about the actual harness that comes in the box when you buy a summit treestand.

I bought an Open-Shot Deluxe last year, and the harness with it did have linesman loops sewn in.  There was no linesman rope included.  I don't really like the way they did the loops.  They are stiff and stick out there whether you're using them or not.

I purchased a muddy Safety harness,It came with two linemen belts and a deer drag.It doesn't feel like even have a harness on ,It's pretty cool ,I have had quite a few different safety harnesses ,But this one is the most comfortable and user friendly.It was well worth it.

Bought a Summit Viper climber this year and the harness does have linesman loops, but does not come with rope.  Just a tree strap.
