I've been using a Black Diamond Bod Harness for both frog and rope walker systems for years and been okay with it. But I've seen Petzl's seat harnesses and a type made by OnRope1 do as well (for both).
You need to find a harness that you can sit comfortably in while resting. Your safety is the only attachment to the seat harness. Every other component is attached via bungee/pulley at the chest harness. Of course I've been seeing a cord that goes from the knee ascender to the seat-harness as well, lately. I suppose this is the redundant safety.

I am curious if these are the best ones for a ropewalker or if there are other choices that are as good or better.
