Along with your legs Neoprene strap that goes from your bridge, under your arms and across your back, and back to the bridge on the other side. Pretty dang comfortable. When you get stiff with that, you can lean forward and rest your torso on your bridge.

Hey if I can climb in my crocs then I know I'll be good to go with my lace up boots. Call it a little extra stress training. Also I was hooked to the tree all the way up and down.

It's pretty much just a tree stand harness without the shoulder straps, mine has under the leg straps and everything. And the way your tether hooks to the saddle it's pretty much impossible to turn over upside down and fall out of it.
