Tree Stand Safety Harness Options

[BIG IRON]

All - I'm pretty new on here - thanks for the great feedback!

I'm checking out Muddy's website now (thanks Kokanee), haven't heard much about this one. Looks like you get the most for your $$ and it's LIGHT (which we all seem to think is important)!

BIG IRON - let me know what you think when yours comes in.

It was on the front porch today and I wore it around the house for a few
hours.

It was as light as could be and simple to put on.

I liked the idea of the bino clips but might stay with the bino strap because I will surely need them while not wearing the vest and do not want to change it out.

The lineman's rope is easy to use with the purssic knot as the adjustment.

I wish it had different buckles for the leg straps but I can live with them (cam buckle)

The tree strap looks a little cumbersome and it would be nice if the pics in the directions were a little better on how to secure it.

Bottom line: It is not hot or heavy like the HSS Pro Hunter, it seemed more comfortable than the HSS Ultralite that I tried on but not as nice as the Gorilla X30 that was $50 more. I think I will be happy with it

Bought the high dollar hss vest 2 years ago. Going with the harness that came with my new Summitt Viper climbing stand.

I am with you on the bulky vests. I have used a HSS for Tree Stalker for years and it holds scent pretty bad. Ijust ordered a Muddy a few days ago on the recommendations from some guys on here. The HHS Ultralite is pretty sweet and so are the Gorillas but they are $140 or so. I wll let you mkow next week when I get mine.

I did buy a Pro Series a few weeks and field tested it when I went to pull astand. HOT as HECK!

I love my Muddy harness. Lightweight and comfortable. The new Tree Spider harnesses looks great too but it's $50 more.

The place where I will be doing a lot of hunting this year is out in west Texas where there are no trees that can support my hanging stand but there are miles of power lines. Something tells me that it is a bad idea to hang a stand on a power pole but I was wondering if anyone had done this before and if it is relatively safe.

Tried that once. Lots of static electricity in the air!! Got down and went elsewhere.

I ordered the Muddy and got it at the house about a week ago. Tried it on and it feels pretty comfortable and lightweight. And $120 is not a bad price for safety.

The gorilla is nice and saves me when I fall asleep in the stand.

theres like a pound between the ultra and the other ones
id stick to HSS.

Great info from everyone, thanks! Going to order the muddy direct in Lost camo - money well spent on safety.

Can't wait to shimmy up my tree in October!

I recently bought the HSS UL Exteme. Not to bulky and fits good. Definitely not as hot as the Pro. Only drawback is lack of pockets but I can use a belt pack and Cargo pockets in Pants. I also purchased a bowhanger so that will help.

I like my Gorilla. Its light, comfortable and beefy.
