A brief experiment using a Troll (I think) harness as a chest harness (it said you could...). Rapidly started using it as a waist harness when it occurred to me that if I should fall, the harness would be safe, but I would not.

And that's an Army & Navy "car coat" as shell gear, Compton helmet and those blue climbing shoes that were cheaper than EBs. And you got what you paid for.
