Hunter Safety System Brings Back the Pro Series Harness

Danville, Ala. (Feb 6, 2018) — In response to customer requests, Hunter Safety System—the leader in treestand safety—has announced that a new updated Pro Series harness will be available this year. With new features and lighter, high-tech materials, the new Pro Series is poised to become as popular as the original Pro Series, which was introduced in 2005 and became one of the most popular treestand safety harnesses of all time.

Designed with a lightweight interlocking fabric in the front and a high-tech ventilating mesh on the back and shoulder areas, the new Pro Series weighs just 2.9 lbs.—40 percent lighter than the original. With binocular/rangefinder straps, two zippered chest pockets, six gear pockets and an industry first of offering a charging port specifically for a phone or flashlight, the new Pro Series has been carefully designed by hunters for hunters to have a place for everything one might need. Additionally, charging your phone while on a hunt is as simple as plugging the phone into the vests charging port.

The new Pro Series will include ElimiShield® Hunt Scent control technology. ElimiShield utilizes a proprietary nanotechnology that kills odor-causing bacteria for the life of the harness. By treating the harness with the ElimiShield in the manufacturing process, it will be protected from mildew and odors after being exposed to sweat and moisture while in use and then packed away in storage during the off-season.

Each Pro Series comes with sound dampening buckles, deer drag, suspension relief strap and a Lineman’s Climbing Strap. It will be offered in S/M, L/XL and 2X/3X in Realtree Edge® and Mossy Oak Bottom Land Classic® camouflage patterns and will retail for $139.95—15 percent less than the price of the original version.

“Our customers have been asking for us to bring the Pro Series back to the line,” said Jerry Wydner, HSS president. “We wanted to make sure we had a much better version with more bells and whistles, and we wanted to bring it to market at an even lower cost.”

The new Pro Series harness is the ultimate harness for today’s hunter. It will be available at retailers nationwide and conveniently online at www.hssvest.com in the Spring.

Hunter Safety System Introduces a New Harness Specifically Designed for Crossbow Hunters

From Hunter Safety System:

DANVILLE, Ala. (June 6, 2016) – As crossbow hunting continues to gain popularity across the country, today Hunter Safety System announced the introduction of a new harness specifically designed to address the unique set of challenges that are associated with safely hunting with a crossbow from a treestand. The new HSS Crossbow Harness answers all those challenges in a stylish, comfortable and affordable harness.

Unlike traditional bows, crossbows have issues related to cocking the crossbow while hunting from an elevated position. When the crossbow is cocked, the treestand safety harnesses’ tether strap tends to fall in front of the hunter, which not only is frustrating but also can tangle with the crossbow and knock off or damage the scope. To eliminate this problem, HSS has added a Tether Stow Strap to the new Crossbow Harness that will safely secure the tether when cocking the bow.

Another feature of this new harness is the deep zippered pocket specifically designed to accommodate the cocking rope which if stowed in a backpack or regular harness pocket can easily get tangled with other gear or fall out of the stand. HSS has also equipped the new Crossbow Harness with a Range Finder Rip Cord that keeps the rangefinder handy yet out of the way and always attached so an accidental drop is never a concern.

Designed on the popular HSS Hybrid Flex chassis, the new HSS Crossbow Harness features the same 1.25-inch upper-body webbing, shock absorbing tether and waist buckle. The individual, padded hexagon shoulder straps on the HSS Crossbow Harness provide comfort and maximum flexibility and the ample pockets—including a secure mesh pocket designed for a cell phone—make it easy to store all of the necessary crossbow and other hunting gear. Weighing only 2.5 lbs., the new HSS Crossbow Harness meets current industry standards recognized by the Treestand Manufacturers Association.

Featuring the popular Realtree® Xtra™ the new HSS Crossbow Harness includes a lineman’s climbing strap, an adjustable tree strap, a suspension-relief/deer drag strap and instructions. It will be available this summer at major sporting goods retailers nationwide and conveniently online at www.hssvest.com for a suggested retail price of $129.99.
