Hi. I am looking for a way to re-distribute some of the load from my sit harness up to my upper body. I climb trees with a double rope technique. Would this chest harness be a good solution for me? Currently I climb with a New Tribe basic saddle.

The function of the chest harness is mostly relieving the pressure on your abs. You'll still have the same pressure on your waist and leg loops, but be able to lean back into the chest harness. This helps change the angle of the pull to forward instead of upward.

Harnesses like this are the true industrial style, but you'll find similar function by adding the vario.
