A good ladies harness?
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend is starting to get very keen on climbing and we are thinking of getting a harness for her. Any recommendations of harnesses that are particularly good for a female form. She has quite wide hips and skinny waist and as a result my harness rides up a lot on her and pinches round the lower ribs. Plus I don't want her changing my treemagic from my magic setting  Any comments greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Mine prefers a Willams T22 wide back. She doesn't really get on with the floating bridge of the butterfly 2.

 I tried her in my old T23, she didn't like it.. Said it crushed her hips, so we are probably looking at a leg loop harness. Should have said that in the original post. Sorry.

Re: A good ladies harness?
Does it have to be a working harness, or can you/she consider a rockclimbing harness?
Failing that, I'm sure some of the female climbers will be along to give you advice straight from the horse's mouth ....... maybe I should've phrased that differently!

WeeDee, she has a rockclimbing harness but when you hang around for more than about 5 minutes it cuts off the blood circulation.. Plus no D rings! A female opinion would be good. Not seen littletree about much recently though

Re: A good ladies harness?
Mrs Tommy_B has a Sequioa and really likes it. Although she hasn't climbed a lot and as a result, doesn't know any better if that makes sense. Not taken her climbing for ages. She is keen to go climbing recently so I have to come up with better excuses as to where it is. I forgot to tell her I've lent it to someone.....
