Harness training (thelemmy.club)

I have done my due diligence on harness training, but I was specifically wondering if anyone uses a second harness? My cat is very strong and flexible so I was scared he might slip out of his harness, which is this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQNFNDSD

He tolerates it well but I'm worried that it's too easy to get out of.

I was wondering if a second harness that was more strappy could act as a failsafe and if anyone here has done that.

I haven't attempted the double harness, but general advice I got when asking around for avoiding escapes was that where there's a will, there's a way for cats. I think the ultimate answer is to make sure you train them to see you or a carrier you always have nearby as a safe retreat. We didn't train that young enough so we only go on walks right in front of our home and when she does get spooked enough to escape, she at least knows to run back to our door.
