My son has been working in films for a few years now, mainly grip / electric/ best boy and some gaffing. More and more of his jobs have involved rigging on high lift equipment and he needs a safety harness. I would like to give him one as a birthday gift but when I search saftey equipment on the web, there are a million options for different occupations and I have no idea what would be best/most comfortable for him when working with scissor lifts, condors, lift buckets and boom arms. He's 6'5" with a 32" waist so when I check for sizes his height tends to fall into XL categories but his waist size is M.
I'm sure the easiest thing would be to send him into a store to try something on but for some strange reason, all the work wear stores are only open during working hours....(Mon-Fri 9-5...go figure, right?)and he's actually been working on consecutive projects /long days so no chance right now for personal shopping.
I would appreciate any advice on this, especially from someone who's worked in this equipment- Thanks
