thoughts on this RCH

[Jay_Disarray]

Ive been contemplating replacing the safety harness i am currently using and replacing it with a RCH for both comfort and safety. My harness will work fine for the time being, but I lack faith in the durability of it, since its only supposed to be a fall prevention device. I've seen a few posts where people post pics and I like the idea of being able to just anchor in right off the front of the harness instead of bridging in. So I've been researching different cheaper rch's and came across this.

I like the idea of having metal lineman loops for clipping into, just for durability reasons, but I've also heard that rope tied into those metal rings also risk the chance of being friction cut. Anyone have knowledge in this that can help a guy out or experience in this particular RCH

That is the RCH I was looking at too, anxious to hear replies..... There is a youtube video on that harness a average joe did about it. I like the wide belt myself but could see myself taping the crap out of those metal rings!!!!

Seems like overkill to me. Especially if you’re planning to use it with a stand and not a saddle. Meaning if you’re standing, carrying the weight of the harness on your hips this one seems heavier than it could be.

I’m also not a fan of metal anywhere in my hunting situation, so I try to minimize it.
