Petzl Sequoia or Treemotion

[monkeypuzzle22]

Hi Guys,

 

For the last couple of years i have been climbing using a Treemotion harness and think its by far one of the best harnesses on the market. After trying a range of harnesses at Merrist Wood during my studies, i prefered the Treemotion due to the flexibility it allows the user, its lightweight design and how comfy in general this harness is, especially when placed in a precarious position.

 

However, my harness is not getting on a bit and i dont think it will survive the next LOLER test, incidentally this week, due to general wear. Therefore i require a new harness. I have looked into the Petzl Sequoia as it seems to be of similar design to the Treemotion, plus its designed by on of the leading specialits in the climbing world. I have not had the chance to try this harness...therefore,

 

My question is, does anyone have the Petzl harness? how have you found it? pros and cons....and would you recommend it?thanks guys...

ive had both and wouldnt move away from the motion. but its such a personal decision-can you borrow one and try it for a while?

[gingertreeninja]

mate has used one for a while now and rates it pretty high. use the motion myself and dont think i will ever change, as you know it got lots of options for gear clips and hoops which i think the petzl lacks.

I would like to know how many TM users have received a healthy twang on the arse when the elastic between the leg straps and the harness get's caught on something?

[Peter]

Yes. I quite like it actually.

oh yeah...the twang on the arse on a cold morning, always a cheap thrill!thanks guys, i adore the treemotion, its comfy and allows so much movement and as mentioned you can add lots of gear loops etc to make you look the biz,ha!

 

I have been thinking about it all day and reckon i will stay with the TM, especially now they have released so many replacement parts!thanks for the advice...

Too much info, Steve

Yes. I quite like it actually.

 

Why was I expecting that?

[Mark Bolam]

Personal preference, both excellent.

 

If the Sequoia doesn't have enough gear loops for you, you don't need a harness, you need to open a shop.
