Is Kolibri Sport Available yet?
As title really, possibly any of the suppliers on here could give us a heads up?
Cheers, Pete.

Re: Is Kolibri Sport Available yet?
What's the craic with the new model Pete? Not heard of this one.
Currently climb in the normal kolibri, but if im honest, will be looking for something considerably lighter weight next time considering my rather diminutive stature! Jim |

Re: Is Kolibri Sport Available yet?
Its been on the cards for a year or so Jim, but seems to be slow at coming out. Was hoping it was here by now.
When i finished with my Butterfly I really liked the standard kolibri but can you believe, the leg cups were too tight on my trunks so ended up getting a Sequoia. Nice harness but not the butterfly or kolibri. Just somehow cant get used to it even after a year. The Sport is said to be like the standard Kolibri but lighter and with soft leg loops. If or when it comes out Id love to try it. Just hoping really.

Re: Is Kolibri Sport Available yet?
ahh sounds like it oughta be good.
yeah i thought the kolibri was good and comfy with the wide and firm leg loops but the payoff was them keeping rotating into the wrong position. I find the wide support of the back comfortable but for something so wide and seemingly self-supporting, the side D's really tear into my pelvis. Have taken to using the lower side Ds the bridge attaches to, as my side attachment points for comfort reasons. bit of a pain to hook in and out of though. my word is it heavy though! definitely want something lighter and less noticable when im wearing it. may help me climb somewhat more 'naturally'... i hope |

Re: Is Kolibri Sport Available yet?
Just had a rummage and found quite a big spread in Fletchers catalogue pages 26 & 27, but cant find it on the web site.
Hopefully fletchers or another supplier can put us in the picture sometime
