I've already tried mine out. The lanyard attaching in the front is going to work great. Plenty of slack, not in the way at all, and in case of a fall I will be facing the tree. I think I'm going to like it.

The average rock climbing harness is not made for extended lengths of time suspended or is there any proof otherwise. It is more of a temporary relief to re-position or from falling to the ground. Would you not need the wide under leg straps and a suspension relief for standing up to relieve trama just in case of a long time before rescue? Just not much test on harnesses it seems to provide time frame before trama with different harnesses. You can hang/sit in a rock climbing harness indefinitely without worry of suspension trauma. I can put my hand between my leg and the top of the leg straps when sitting in it. It puts Zero pressure on the femoral arteries. That was the entire reason I made the switch to begin with.
There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:
1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft

Not suited very well for fall protection. It's use is for static use. OSHA many years ago after multiple studies made waist belts illegal for fall suppression due to spinal cord injury. Essentially, the shock of the stop was breaking peoples backs, hence the development of the full body harness. some fall protection is better then none, but just be aware that you may end up paralyzed for that small convince. Also, fall restraint must have a 5,000 psi breaking strength. What is the rating on these?
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all! ------------------------------

GomerPyle, how are you rigged up as far as attaching the belt to the HSS tree strap? the tree strap has a carabiner hooked to the end of it, via a prussic knot so you can slide it up/down the rope to adjust the length....hook it straight into the attachment point on the harness. Gomerpyle, is that the Vario Speed harness?

Does the tether rope not get in the way being attached to the front? There is no way anyone (and all of my buddies use them and have tried) can convince me something coming out of your crotch is less in your way than mine between my shoulder blades
