Customer Reviews for MUDDY OUTDOORS Muddy Outdoors Safeguard Harness
MUDDY OUTDOORS Muddy Outdoors Safeguard Harness
No other harness can match the Safeguard’s combination of safety, silence and light weight. The minimalist design has only a fraction of the surface area of competing vests – less fabric means less scent. Super-silent, rubber-coated parachute buckles ensure rock-solid connections and ultralightweight operation. The Safeguard uses the lightest and quietest cam buckles on the market. They are infinitely adjustable and lock without any noise. Integrated binocular straps take the weight of your binoculars off your neck and puts it on your harness. System includes everything you need to climb and hunt safely even a Suspension Relief System (SRS). Tested to TMA standards. Imported. Weight: 1.9 lbs. Weight capacity: 300 lbs. Size:
Small/Medium ; max. height: 5’10", max. waist: 34"
Large ; max. height: 6’3", max. waist: 40"
X-Large ; max. height: 6’7", max. waist: 44"

Good Harness
Date:December 27, 2012
I work in safety and fall protection and want to clear up some things about this harness and any other harness.
This appears to be a good, well built harness. It fits well and removes the need for a lanyard to attach to the harness and tree, because it is built in. The instructions leave more to be desired. The harness is very "strappy" as has been mentioned.
I'm going to talk about some safety concerns that I have read in this chain of reviews
No fall harness is comfortable to hang in. Some are less irritating than others but you will pay hundreds more for those. I can see that this one won't be very comfortable as it has thin leg straps.
In the event of a fall you want to connect the suspension relief strap as soon as you fall (comes with harness). This will allow you to take the pressure off of your thigh/crotch region (which can kill you if you hang too long) and put it onto your shoulders (which will buy you a lot more time).
DO NOT test your harness out to see if it is comfortable to hang in. The harness has fall relief patches sewn into it. These tear as you fall, slowing your descent and relieving hundreds of pounds of pressure from your body. If you test your harness you risk tearing these, at which point you might as well throw your harness away.
Make sure everything on the harness is tight. If you can slip the strap off of one of your shoulders, you need to tighten it up or you will fall out of it. Same goes for the legs. Tighten them up. If they're loose or not buckled, you will either slip out of them or they will catch your legs in a low spot and cause you to do the splits (which won't feel good with the force of a man falling).
Overall: Good harness, decent instructions, too strappy

wise purchase
Date:December 6, 2012
Recently purchased the harness and have used only once. Will use it again tomorrow. Since I know two hunters who have fallen out of trees, I thought it was about time that I made the investment, especially for safety reasons. The harness is easy to put on, not encumbering, and provides that ease of mind that I won't fall and break my back, or worse.

Awesome
Date:October 20, 2012
Light and quiet. includes all the gear you need. I liked the wait strap that brings the hook up loops center to your shoulders instead of searching around the sides of your hips for them. The slid-able accessory clips on the shoulder straps were well thought out, perfect for hooking up a rangefinder. The instructions are a tad vague photo wise but it didn't take me long to figure everything out. Well worth the money.

Excellent harness
Date:September 23, 2012
The Muddy Safeguard is extremely lightweight and easy to use - some of the other reviews said the instructions were vague. I don't know how it could be any simpler to figure out, unless you have never used a harness before. I want to be safe while in my stand but I hate bulky, heavy harnesses - this harness solves both of those issues. It also has several adjustments so you can ensure a great fit. The only thing I think they need to include on this harness is some type of system to contain the excess leg strap material - for some reason they made the leg straps very long and once you have it sized there is a lot of excess strap. Otherwise, its great!

Don't BUY
Date:December 28, 2011
I agree with the review that says the directions are terrible. A good word to describe this harness is strappy. Once you figure out on your own how to get into it you have to deal with all the loose strap ends. This is not a harness you get into quickly. Spend the extra money and something other than the Muddy Harness. Not writing this to be mean, I just like to hunt and not have to spend so much time getting my gear on.

Muddy has a new fan
Date:December 18, 2011
This is my first Muddy product and I am very impressed. The harness is easy to wear with light or heavy gear, requiring slight adjustment either way.
The rubber coated buckles are extremely quiet and prevent those unexpected noises in the field.
I feel very safe in the harness and barely notice it while I'm in the tree. The linemans rope was also very useful when hanging my treestand this year.
Overall, this is a great harness for a great price.

Leg Straps to Thin
Date:October 31, 2011
I anchored this harness to trusses in my basement and gradually eased off a step ladder. The thin leg straps nearly cut into your skin and were extremely uncomfortable. Even with thick layering I could not imagine hanging from a tree in the event of a fall with this harness.

poor instructions
Date:October 18, 2011
Never used a harness before, this one may be OK, if you can figure out how to use it. This includes the use of the linemans rope. The instructions are very vague, pictures blurry, instructional video not product specific. Could not find more info on line. Waiting for response from manufacturer on issue, will return if not resolved soon. I would expect safety equipment to have highly detailed information...not this one. Very disappointed!

If you like the idea of putting a harness on and literally forgetting you're wearing it then this is the one for you. Like everything muddy makes this is a quality item and I wouldn't even consider wearing another. Also, it comes with a quality tree strap, a prusiks knot, and a lineman's belt. Chose this one based solely on how impressed I am with my Muddy sticks hoping this would be of the same quality. It is.

Muddy harness
Date:September 19, 2011
I've had my harness for three years now and would not hunt without it. I've never had any problems with it and consider it one of the most important purchases I've made. I also like that it is very quiet. The only negative is that if you use the bino strap it seems constricting.

Simple to use ...Great price
Date:August 14, 2011
I recently decided to replace my safety harness so i ordered just about every one cabelas sales to see the differences and select a harness. I am making reviews so hopefully no one else has to do the same thing. I will list the negatives and positives of each harness. Feel free to check out my other reviews when shopping for a harness this season.
Positives. Very light. Great locking carbiner clip, Has very small leg buckles . Bino system made into vest. I am 6'2 300 lbs and the xl fit me i was worried it would not.
Negatives. It got tangled a couple of times taking it off putting it on . The material itself struck me as a little cheap on intial look . It reminded me of the harnesses that come free with the summit stands , if they still do that. Bino straps seemed as if they may have trouble holding heavy binoculars , they had alot of give right out of box .
Overall. This was my second favorite harness. Its light simple and has all the extras good value for the money.

Great Harness, BETTER investment!!!
Date:July 6, 2011
This harness is great! (This coming from a hunter who isn't particularly partial to harnesses) - Honestly it's an investment you can't afford NOT to make! Beyond that, it's got all the features you'd want in a safety harness. It's light, unrestricing, comfortable, functionable, tangle free and quick and easy to work with in the dark, and most importantly - when used properly it can save your life and ensure that you have the opportunity to enjoy life, family and many more sits in the tree!
