not to be a butthead, but I'm sort of at a loss as to why anyone would buy or use a bos'n's chair nowadays with all the more modern conveyances that are available for just another 20 or 30 bucks.
It's one thing to have devices that are more comfortable, but it's wholly another matter that a modern climbing harness is about 200% safer...they are virtually impossible to fall out of... I'm good for about 20 minutes in a chair until the board cuts off circulation to my lower legs and I cant feel my own feet. A climbing harness I can take for an hour, use my feet tactically and not feel like a lump of meat being hoisted aloft. anyway... tf ALways a D-shackle and Never a snap (unless you tape the crap out of it) > Sierra Trading Post always seems to carry three or four models at closeout > prices.
