This is the most important gear we use. We designed it, over many years and many improvements to tremendously high standards of safety and comfort.We can stay up as long as it takes to do the job. And we can move like monkeys.
You will have to go up at some point - to do a job, save the day, adjust for a winning edge or just for the view. Get the best gear you can. read up, go up often, and early, and be safe.

Aloft - Bosun's Harness - Small
$399.00
"Imagine a bosun's chair 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. 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. Brion Toss' dvd "Going Aloft" and instructions for suggested use included.
Medium fits adults 28" - 42"(Measure just above hip bones).
Small fits smaller folks - 24-30 inch waist. We do not make Large.
We do not recommend anyone larger than "Medium" using our harness without a chest harness in addition. (It is a center of gravity issue). And, we do not make a chest harness.
