Harness thoughts.

[trailsaw]

I am an amateur climber and since I start climbing I have been using a Petzl Navaho harness. The more I climb and start hanging gear off the harness the more uncomfortable I am getting. I am thinking is it time to up grade to a proper Arborist specific harness.

 

Is a proper arborist harness far better and more comfortable and worth spending the money?????

Also wandered if it was worth buying a chest harness for my Navaho to take some load off the waist?

When I bought mine I tried the Navaho and oooh did it crush! My voice was an octave higher. I worked up the price range and ended up with a Sequoia - much more comfortable. I needed a pair of Type C trousers as well so I tried them both together. I did a Cherry tree two days ago and being uncomfortable was one thing I didn't have to worry about. But do try it on first - no mail order - the shop should have somewhere you can swing from, and do wear the actual trousers you'd be using with them. Good luck.
