Title: Kid's safety harness
Post by: Roverrich on June 28, 2013, 09:15:00 AM
For you guys/gals who have hunted w/ your kid out of a tree stand, what harness did you use? I'm deciding between either a youth specific (son=12 1/2 yr, 13 in Nov, 130lb, 5'2") or possibly a ladies harness. The real problem is that the guy grows so fast!!! His safety is more important to me than mine so any recommendations would be greatly welcomed.

Check out some of the rock climbing stores like REI they may have something that will fit the bill.

I purchased a HSS youth model vest for my son and it lasted all of two years before he outgrew it.  Gave it away on tradgang.

My daughter used the HSS youth model, but she out grew it around the age of ten because of her height.  There just isn't enough leg strap.  Last year she moved up to a ladies pro vest from HSS and it fit great.  I would suggest going to one of the larger outdoor stores and have him try on as many as you can before buying.  I thing the HSS youth would already be to small for him, judging by the height and weight you listed.
