I have a separate dedicated chest harness that I wear under my PFD. One
critical test is to make sure that you can release your tether with
either hand while your entire weight is suspended by the tether. You
never know which hand will be functional during, or after a mishap. When
weather is up, I wear a foam jetski type vest, rather than an
inflatable, as it protects your ribs if you get thrown against something.

I'm looking for advice on some safety gear. I plan to purchase jack
lines and tethers and I'm looking for input from listers on your
experiences with various types, brands, etc. and any other helpful
advice. My inflatable life jacket has a d ring attachment, but is it
better to use an harness anyway? Make no difference?
Thanks,
