Hello Hunters, Hunterhunts team is going to list the best hunting safety harness that protects you from falling. A study shows that every hunter especially the bowhunters during their hunting lifespan hunted from a tree stand without wearing a hunting safety harness.
Well, I know a couple of people and my friends whose lives have been drastically changed due to smaller tree falls. As you grow older the injury due to tree fall gets worse. Sometimes, even a fall from 10 feet can kill you or cause you serious injury.
Most tree falls occur due to missteps, slips, and falling asleep on the stand. If you see any hunter going up a tree without wearing a hunting safety harness, do a favor for that person and let them know about the safety harness’s importance.

❌ Cons
- The lanyard strap is too long
Hunter safety system hunting harness comes in 6 different sizes, each size is compatible with a different weight range and Torso size. Its fabricate with nylon material, the strap quality is really premium and the metallic clip withstands high pressure easily. The lanyard strap is built with 4 break-away stitching to slow down your falling speed more than the standard one. Moreover, it also comes with 2 tree climber loops.
My height is 6’2″ and my weight is around 250 lbs, and I buy the larger size 2x-3x. I bought this one because in the winter season, we need warmer cloth so it fits great without adjusting the size but in the warmer season, it completely adjusts to the smallest size. That’s just something to keep in mind before buying any hunting safety harness. This one is the best hunting safety harness for big guys.
The tether strap or tree strap is 1-7/8 inches wide and easy to wrap around the tree. Make sure there is no slack in the tether while you are in the sitting position. The deer drag or suspension release strap is 1 inch wide and comes with a carabiner at one end. The suspension strap is tied to the back loop of the safety harness. Best to use when you hanging over the safety harness and need to release your blood flow into your legs.
The Hunter Safety System X-1 bowhunter harness and Hunter Safety System Ultra-Lite bowhunter harness both are durable and premium quality material products. It’s hard for me to choose between them but I go with the X-1 hunting harness due to its low price. There is hardly a 0.50 lbs weight difference between these two safety harnesses. Recommend buying this one due to its $60 under-budget price and best for all types of hunters, especially for bow hunting and tree stand hunting.
