Courant Koala v Skylotec Kolibri Click v Treemotion

[Mark Bolam]

I'm loving my Koala Darrin.

 

I did a bit about it in an old thread (which I can't find now) when I replaced my Sequoia a few months back.

Darrin the thread is called 'New harness time'.

 

Joe in answer to your question from a few months back, yes, central attachment loop for saw at rear.

Another thumbs up from me. I read Marks thread and bought a koala and find it really comfy.

I used to have a tree motion... great harness after 5-6 years got a tm light.... horrible harness!

 

Recently changed to a tree austria. Love it. Though bot as much range of movement on the bridge etc as the Tm.... tree austria is miles more comfy to me

Could you have chosen any 3 harnesses that were more different- you need to decide what your needs are prior to looking

Anyone got any experience with the skylotec?

I've had the skylotec for 5 years now with no complaints. I do wonder if one of the other harnesses would be better/more comfortable but as they say...the grass isn't always greener and I don't have that kind of money lying about to take a punt at the moment.

Thanks guys. I work in utilities so I need something robust. We’re given Harkie harnesses which are fine, just nowhere near as nice as my old Treeaustria.

I like the skylotec - I spend a lot of time on spikes dismantling & I like the extra support that the backpad gives me. However, the treemotion gives a much greater freedom and range of movement.  

It is very hard to recommend as harness choice is so personal. There is no substitute for trying before you buy unfortunately.

The koala is a brilliant harness imo. 

Had it as my contract job harness as they wouldn't purchase sequoia's (which is my personal harness) and the Koala seemed like a nice streamlined similar alternative. 

Super comfortable when adjusted. Can pinch in the groin as can any. Significantly happier with it than a seqouia.

Sometimes at awkward angles the side D's aren't pronounced enough to find. It would be nicer if they stuck out more. 

But all in all a brilliant harness.

And not many people have them haha! Good to luck unique.

Are you in the Tree Austria 3.2? I. Leaning towards that over my current old TM.
