It's a update on the newest models

I never use more than 3 gear loops.

Rear for saw, Caritool doesn't use a loop, fig8 and rescue knife on one, wiregate for accessories on another.

They're not life support, you can hang multiple stuff off them if you like.

The big question is why would you let your missus choose a harness for you?

hi Mark I actually chose it is first opted for a camp tree access but wasn't comfortable so then tried on a petz let ac various but the leg loops would not fit my legs as I mentioned the tree hog was comfortable and it fitted but with trying on about 8 different harness form to the butterflies to the petzl i didn't notice the gear loops

I have the same harness but branded as Treeup, I have the same problem as there's only really 2 gear loops if you use the rear one for the saw. Mine's a size small and the gear loops are, IMO too far forward. I simply placed carabiners behind the webbing waist belt but the webbing loops look better. Check ebay for webbing key fob and you'll get something similar.

One of the reasons I suggested the small Dynema slings is because they come with a certified load rating - saves any potential issues with gear inspections etc. Not sure that would apply to a webbing key fob?

Fair point although I figure as they're only gear loops and not life support they don't need to be rated, I wouldn't hang my chainsaw on one though. Looking at the ones on the Tree Hog page they aren't even bartacked, simply sewn in a box/x pattern.

looks great but very hard to order or get price on site

I've got the older version of the treehog and it's due for replacement, shame they've removed the left hand gear loops.

 

What about a silver bull harness bag? I've got the larger one and the tail of my lanyard goes in it along with first aid kit and spare sling and crab. Frees up a bit of space, if you can deal with people laughing at you until they realise it's a good idea.

They need to pass a LOLER inspection though
