Good harness for the wife?

[Industry]

My wife wants to try climbing, and I am looking for suggestions on a saddle for her. I use a Pinnacle with a bosun seat. not sure If I should get her one with the individual leg straps, or a bosun. At first it will be used mostly for rec. climbing, but she seems to like the option of learning to work in it as well. she's aprox. a size 12 womens, and 4'11" tall. Thanks guys.

Take a look at the New Tribe work harnesses (www.newtribe.com). They are extremely comfortable and very reasonable priced as well. New Tribe is a great company to deal with. They will customize a saddle any way you like and are very responsive to questions you may have for them.

I'll second the new tribe. I havn't spent a lot of time in one, but they have the best rep for a comfy saddle. They are also a good value for what it costs.

The people at New Tribe are awesome, very friendly and helpful. I was out there 2 years ago and stopped in. they replaced some broken treeboat poles for free!

My wife works for Holden Arboretum where she climbs quite a bit. It took some time to find her a harness that fit her body and that she was comfortable in. She is a fan of the bosun seat and has never felt too good in a leg strap harness so it kind of limited our options a bit. She currently is using a DragonFly and is pretty happy with it so far, but would prefer the bosun seat lower assembly coupled with a Glide upper assembly. I'm not sure why Buckingham doesn't sell this set up seeing as how they sell multiple bosun seat harnesses. Hopefully this is something they will work on for the future.
