The 'Professional", "Soft Seat", and "Pocket" were all pulled and they are trying to get a hold of the people who bought them to return them as soon as possible.

I don't need a $430. bosun chair, (Top Climber) so that leaves the Deckware Mast Pro Harness, $175. Does anyone on this listserve own one of these Mast Pro Harness? If so what is their opinion of it?
