    Great Outdoors. Dunno how much it will be as its been a number of years since I bought one. Go for comfort over price though.

    Do you need a full body harness or just a sit harness?

    i bought a new wild country sit harnes in great outdoors in dublin before xmas and paid 90euro for it it very comfortable!!

    if you have an mci card they will give you a 10% discount in there:D

    also they have a rope coming down for the ceiling and they will hang you out of it to give you an idea of how comfortable the harness you are buying is. and the staff know what they are talking about in there.

    Is this for work or for recreation? If its the latter the you could still try Great Outdoors. If its the former then try one of the safety equipment companies.

    I can wholeheartedly recommend a company called ISRT, out in Blanchardstown. Derek's the man you need to speak with - you'll find their number in the phone book. They're a heights/access training and equipment supplier - I've bought a load of gear off him over the last 12 months and he's never steered me wrong. I think something like the Petzl Navaho harness will be right up your street....
