I'd by far trust a good-sized fall in my rock harness. Just for some reason, I feel safer in it for a dynamic fall. The entire thing is "parachute grade" stitched. Just feels nice and secure.

The arbo harness is comfy, but I really don't have that same warm fuzzy feeling when I look at the big leather pieecs and wide stitches and buckles and such. I think they're primarily designed for different purposes, so it's hard to compare them, but I still like pruing with my rock harness better.

And Yes, Quercus, it is much more uncomfortable, compared to my tree harness, but I feel much more agile, so I accept the trade. I spent my first several years in trees, using a rock harness. Cruisin now though.... in comfort mostly.
