favorite safety harness?

What is your favorite harness? I have a HSS vest that is nice but a bit heavy and cumbersome to hike in. I end up wearing my safety belt way more because its so light and easy, but would feel safer in a nice harness.

I have a gorrilla harness that I bought at wal mart for 50 bucks. It's similar to a HSS vest but is half the weight. I like it so far.

I'm a HSS man. But will be interested to see what this thread turns up.

I bought a Gorilla G20 before our season started this time and really like it.

I switched over from summits seat of the pants to muddy outdoors last year. I like both of them. I like the leg adjustments on the muddy outdoors a little better though.

Hunter safety system for me.

I like the HSS vest because of the ease of putting it on or taking it off. It is heavier than some, especially since I usually have stuff in the pockets, but I don't have any issues with walking in it. It's comfortable and I feel safe in it. I wish the lineman's loops were a little farther forward and the zipper stuck and won't open on one pocket. Thankfully it is empty. Otherwise I can't complain.

My son has a Gorilla, I think. It is certainly light, but I don't want to have to go through the gyrations he does to put it on. I also like that the HSS clicks, so I know the buckles are locked.

Whichever one you prefer, WEAR IT! Left in the truck, none of them are worth a hoot!

I have a HSS vest. Nice to get on and off quickly but lately I've been putting on the plain old harnesses that come included with the stands. Nice and light and I wear it under my outer layer.

I bought a spider harness for 100. A few weeks ago. It's very lite and easy to put on. They also sell the part that let's you down if you fall.

I like the HSS Ultralite. Easy to get on and off and I do not notice it when in the stand.

Just went to the Muddy - Love it! Lightweight and easy.

Ill be in trees for the first time next year and am looking at the Spider harness with there decent system, ill be doing a lot of public land with a climber (x stand) so want to stay light and safe.

I have not used these yet but doing a lot of research and leaning this way.
