Default Harness, vest or ?

Couldn't get the search to work so I'm looking for something different to use other than the Gorilla or Lone Wolf safety harness's I have on hand. I'm looking at the Hunter's Safety System, but am really considering the Loggy Bayou Transformer. Looks like the Transformer would be lighter and less bulky.....any recommendations or pros/cons of the two? Seems like it was Rick James who preferred the Transformer, not sure.

I want something faster and easier to put on, yet is safe and allows for shooting at any position.

I really like the tree stalker by hunter safety systems with the added pockets works great for me.
Not bulky at all and willing to use a harness everytime now.

HSS vests are a great way to go, I have been using one for years now! I believe they make an early season lightweight version! I recommend trying one, don't take chances with your safety, it's just so easy there's no excuse to not wear a harness!

Does the HSS use buckles or do you have to thread the straps?

I've got a HSS pro mesh vest.....but to be honest....I've been using the little cheapo I got with a Gorilla lock-on......because of the heat. When it cools off....I'll get back into the HSS vest.

I am currently using the Gorilla as well, would just like something easier to use. Still no Transformer opinions?

Yes the HSS has buckles, plus it's reversible with hunter orange /camo so if you gun hunt from a stand it works well!
