When you order, tell him you want the 1/4" hole in the anchors. Crow aims to please.

I researched Crows back in 2004 when I built my RV-8, and when I researched harnesses again this year for the -3, I went with Crows again - for all of the above reasons! All of the brands are goign to survive FAR greater crash forces than your body can - why pay way extra just for a special name? Crows are outstanding, and I love their rotary buckle.

My wife bought me a pair of hookers for Christmas while I was building, complete with rotary latches. I love that woman!
As for which is best, the ones that you never use to save your life and if you do use them to save your life, then they are the best.

Most must be better than the standard Van's.
I am not a large chap, but the belts on our 7 are very snug....
Took a guy who was 200lbs last week and he really, really had to suck in to get the Van's buckle closed.
With what has been said here - I think the 8 will have Crow's

The Hookers saved my live
August '09. My emergency landing practice turned into the real thing, and left me hanging from my Hookers.
Flew this week for the first time. Repairs took 15 months, but the results were worth it!

Yes the ones Van's sell can be a challenge for larger people.

Just curious why people make the statement "hookers are the best"? Is there a specific feature that they have that others don't? Have they been tested and shown to be stronger? or last longer?
Not trying to say they aren't...I just haven't seen anyone say why they are.
