Do you have an easy to use and comfortable full body harness for bucket use that you would recommend? I have several men who will only occasionally run our bucket for building maintenance work. They are all trained in basic use of the truck but will not wear (or wear incorrectly) the current body harnesses on the truck. When I was in a bucket, we only had to wear a belt and non shock absorbing lanyard, so I am clueless as to what is now available. I need something fool proof, comfortable, and OSHA approved. Price is not a concern. I'm talking cadillac of full body harnesses. Thanks
 
Not sure on good body harnesses, but there are some really good and comfortable ones in some different arborist catalogs. I don't know if I can say them on here, but I am sure you can figure them out. I have an old harness, don't know the brand, but fits good. I think as long as you have a D ring in the back, and a couple on the shoulders (for rescue), you should be good.
 
FallTech has everything you will need. the best are 5pt, triple D and fully adjustable. if you cant find them on line try www.NorthernTool.com its something you dont ever want to use but need to have on in the bucket. i like the cheap ones with all the options. the more comfy the thing is the more bulk it will have
