Just curious as to how most people wear their safety harness for tree stand hunting. Do you wear it over your jacket or parka? Or under, which then requires a pass through opening in jacket?

Both. Early season it's outside the jacket. Late season I'm usually wearing multiple layers and bibs. The HSS vest then is worn under / inside both the bibs and the Jacket.

I use a rock climbing harness, so I’d say neither. However, the RCH is worn on the outside on my bibs/pants. For the most part, the jacket doesn’t really come into play, while wearing it.

Inside the jacket. Outside the pants.

I always go outside with the strap type harness. I don't care for the vest type that I got. it's too heavy and bulky.

Outside when it’s warmer. Inside when it’s cold. I just run the cord up my neckline. I don’t want to detach or to put it through the hole in the jacket.

For me it all epends on the weather conditions.
Warm - September October hunts - the HSS vest is outside my shirt.
For rainy a winter weather I'll wear it under my jacket or rain gear.
Bear season in SK or NB it starts out as an outside garment, but ends up under my all-weather jacket.

Outside early season. Inside late season as I keep my strap harness on but my top layer off while walking to stand. Top layer has the slot to put the strap thru when I reach the stand.

I prefer it underneath my outer layer when possible. I had my wife sew a tether slot in my jacket(s). That way for me at least there is no interference with my backpack or my bino harness.

I don my outter layers after I haul up my pack. Therefore, my pullover layers are under the harness and zip front layers go on over the harness. A light weight neck gator blocks any drafts from going down where the harness tether exits the neckline. In very cold weather I don a heavy fleece layer before putting on the harness. Because of the gator the zipper doesn't have to completely close in the front of the outter layers.

Always inside so I can layer as needed.

Both, depending on time of year & layering.

Both, late season with all the clothing it goes underneath
