I was poking around on the Defender and West Marine Websites already this morning to get some ideas, but had no basis for making a choice. Your responses will help. If I do end up buying from Defender, will definitely wait for the sale! Joel, any particular specs on the climbing webbing?? I'm not familiar with climbing gear.

One critical test is to make sure that you can release your tether with either hand while your entire weight is suspended by the tether. You never know which hand will be functional during, or after a mishap. When weather is up, I wear a foam jetski type vest, rather than an inflatable, as it protects your ribs if you get thrown against something.

I plan to purchase jack lines and tethers and I'm looking for input from listers on your experiences with various types, brands, etc. and any other helpful advice. My inflatable life jacket has a d ring attachment, but is it better to use an harness anyway? Make no difference?
