Sorry, man; I can't even if I wanted to. At Ford our harnesses are serial numbered and tracked -- to get a new one you have to turn the old one in -- not to mention that "A" if something were to happen to you and the ministry tracked the number it would eventually get back to me and I'd get fired for theft and "B" if you were to remove the number you could get fined by the ministry.

You can go here:

I've dealt with them for hearing protection but they sell harnesses too. I think they start at $90 for a decent one.

If I could give you some advice, is

(1) make sure that you buy the same manufacturer harness and lanyard -- they're made to work together and there are cases where different manufacturers, because of differing design, that the lanyard and harness can actually SEPARATE(!) (called twist-out). They are designed as a SET so don't cheap out that way.

(2) if you are doing a lot of basket/picker work and you can afford it get a retractable lanyard; it's worth the money not to get yanked in the back when you forget you're tied off and run out of slack on a solid lanyard.

Good luck.
