I know a *little* about aircraft restraint engineering

I worked with Scott @ Hooker Harness for 20 years as one of their suppliers and would go to them without hesitation.

Can't go wrong with a Crow Harness...
Crow makes an excellent harness and their lever-style rotary kam lock buckle is really convenient. I upgraded my previous non-lever rotary kam lock to the lever style because I found that you had to grip the release knob pretty tightly in order to turn it to release all the buckles. I upgraded because it was occasionally an issue if my hands were sweating, and the worst-case-scenario EMT in me whispered that it would be even more problematic if my hands were bloody.
