I'm a big fan of the Hanger Harness and use it every time I hang or take stands down for the season. I recently replaced the original harness that I had due to the recommended life span. A couple of things that I noticed in the new harness: the original harness had a smaller pockets inside the 2 large side pockets, this feature is no more. The side pockets do appear to be a little larger however, could be my imagination. The padding that was at the top of the harness against your shoulders/neck area is no more. This area now has a mesh type material that covers the actual harness strap. I'm not sure if it makes it feel a bit less strong/durable, time will tell. Overall, everything else appears to be the same and I've had no functionality issues at all. I do highly recommend using this system when hanging your stands for safety reasons. I found out the hard way a few years back on one occasion when I forgot to grab the harness due to being in a rush to leave my house.
