Treestand Safety Starts with the Right Gear – Gorilla Gear Brings the Freedom to Hunt to Safety Harness Vests
OutdoorHub 08.04.14
Experienced hunters know that safety has to be the top priority in the field. And they believe they shouldn’t have to compromise on comfort when choosing their gear. Whether it’s the weapon, a jacket, or a safety harness vest, gear should be comfortable and allow a hunter to take his shot from any position and in any circumstance – even when wearing a safety harness.
Hunters are more likely to wear a safety harness or vest if it fits right and enables them to hunt without restrictions while safely secured to their treestand. Giving hunters the freedom to hunt safely and comfortably was the Gorilla Gear team’s mission behind the design of the innovative G-TAC Ghost from Gorilla Gear.
The G-TAC Ghost performance fit vest from Gorilla Gear incorporates a unique tether system into a comfortable vest that will change the way you think about vest harnesses. Unlike standard-length tethers, the 30” proprietary tether offers both a performance and a safety benefit. First, the additional length gives hunters a 360-degree shooting range for unrestricted shot angles. This means the hunter chooses the shot vs. taking the shot that the tether permits.
Second, falls can happen. And, if a hunter falls while wearing the G-TAC Ghost, the harness provides a 40% gentler fall due to a unique tether webbing system. Unlike other harnesses, Gorilla Gear does not use box stiches, which rely on a single stitch for strength. Instead, the Gorilla Gear webbing construction overlaps and loops around providing the ability to ride down in a gentler manner during a fall event.
Safety is the reason to wear a harness; but comfort and freedom to take your shot is the reason to choose the G-TAC Ghost. The all-weather mesh design stretches over a wider area increasing airflow and comfort even during the warmest temperatures. In addition, the mesh is quieter in the field than cotton vests. It is 40% lighter-weight than competitive products, doesn’t have a constraining waist belt and features oversized pockets. It even has a built-in shoulder gun pad for added versatility.
The G-TAC Ghost key features include:
- Fully adjustable 30” tether system with pleated breakaway
- Two oversized vest pockets
- Mossy Oak Break-up Infinity camo
- Quick release flocked mating buckles
- Universal fit for waist sizes ranging from 28” to 51”
- Shoulder gun pad
The G-TAC Ghost will change the way you think about treestand safety harness vests. The adjustable, form-fitting vest design goes on so easily and provides all-day comfort with a high level of safety. In fact, you won’t even know you have it on.
