FWIW, It's your life so you decide. I found a $35 climbing harness fit me better than a Spinlock harness at 5 times that price, and use that to climb the mast. For sailing offshore, I chose tethers that have snapschackles at each end. Caribiners have a place, but not on lifejacket/harness tethers. You want the quick release available with the newer tethers.

Among the items I need to procure are a harness and tether. Marine tethers seem very overpriced so I've been looking into mountain climbing gear substitutes. Any concerns mating these carabiners: http://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/product_Black-Diamond-Neutrino-Carabiner_10003048_10208_10000001_-1_ with these runners (thinking of a 120 cm coupled with a 240 cm (total of 3 carabiners)): http://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/product_Black-Diamond-10mm-Dynex-Runners_10031236_10208_10000001_-1_ to make a tether?
