fall arest harness

[Maui Palm & Tree Care]

the tower company i work for gave me $600 for a work positioning/fall arrest harness.
whats the difference between the Y style and H style chest harnesses? i need to get one and cant decide between the petzl Y stye or a buckingham deluxe H style. can you guys tell me what you have been wearing and how do you like it?

Neither of those are good choices for tower work...

An Elk River 'Eagle Tower' 6Dee is much better suited.. http://www.google.com/search?client=safa...MY&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.44158598,d.dmg&fp=18e91d720de401d3&biw=1265&bih=612

A DBI Sala EXO-Fit 6d with the mesh vest style back would be a step up from that.

You will also need at least one of something similar to this.

I've never done tower work but I have tried on some of the DBI Exo harnesses. If I was going to spend time supported in a harness that is the one that I'd buy.
