Aloft - Bosun's Harness - Medium
This is a very heavily-padded mountaineer-style harness that we've designed for the demands of yacht rigging. More comfortable, and for longer, than any other harness or chair that we've tried.
Imagine a climbing harness that lets you get higher on the mast, is impossible to fall out of, and allows utter freedom of movement. Imagine further that it has a built-in tether, 3 halyard attachment points, two loops for hanging extra gear from, and a large multi-pocket pouch, the Rigger's Tool Pouch, for cotter pins, small tools, tape and other incidentals.
Brion Toss' dvd "Going Aloft" and harness instructions for suggested use and care included.
Medium fits adults 28-42 inches (Measure just above hip bones).

Topics include: chairs & harnesses, deck crew protocol, essential knots & belaying techniques and aspects of mental attitude 60 min. See the 3- and 4-Set dvd Specials for SUPER SAVINGS!"

Plus everything you need to know to make your rig work. Hardcover pp 392 $39.95
Aloft - Bosun's Tool Pouch
The same tool pouch we include with our Bosun's Harness. This handy little bag works wonderfully for working aloft or any time your working with small parts or tools too important to lose over the rail.
Riggers Caribiner
The triple locking pear-shaped carabiner is a must-have item on any cruising vessel. Combined with the carabiner hitch, detailed in Chapman’s Guide to Knots (written by Brion), it is a life saving item when working aloft. These jaws open wider than most and with a little practice you can open it easily with one hand. The carabiner is manufactured by Petzl, is individually tested, and comes with a three year guarantee.
