Petzl Sequoia or Treemotion

[broadsword]

i fear the T.M. TWANG whenever i have to go up something ivy riddled. like being shot in the jaksy at point blank with a paintball gun. would still choose one over a sequoia tho.

Hey Guys,

 

Thanks for all the posts and some good advice...spoke to Nod at Treeworker the other day, a guy a trust for a advice quite alot, he advised me that most people who climb with a TM and then move to the Petzl regret it. I enjoy the comfort and snug fit of the TM as well as, as previously stated, the fact that you can design the harness to suit you. My current TM failed its LOLER, webbing and bridge, i know there replacable but hey the boss has offered a new one so i'll jump.

 

Again, many thanks.

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...

 

got a tree motion myself..they are rubbish if you have a big saw hanging from your waste.

 

I would say go for a kolibri...seen a couple of them ..they look tough and comfortable.

To be honest I think this playground conversation should stop now. We are all built/climb differently. Reports all say they are both great harnesses. Try both. Choose the best one for you. Game over.

 

Thanks.

get some of the tubing (thats used for the gear storage loops) and put it on the leg/butt elastic and it stops the twang:001_smile:
