tf,
can you elaborate? The harness itself is $50-80. The only one West lists on
their website is a Harken for $120. So you're saying for $80 or so beyond
the harness I can have a more comfortable rig? What are the pieces
involved?

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...

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. Try www.sierratradingpost.com and enter 'climbing' in their
search
box. For example: Black Diamond, sizes S-XL, $41.50. Lots of loops all
around to hang tools on lanyards, a rigging bucket, etc. I used to buy
all
my clothes-and my size 14 shoes-at Sierra.
