Simarghu Harness

I just thought it was too bulky.

A racing snake like me needs a slimline harness.

Are you still putting a few extra layers on to get it up to the smallest setting mate?

[Mark Bolam]

Yes mate.

Real shame the waist doesn’t adjust down to 26”.

[Tommy_B]

They're missing a trick mate

It strikes me listening to these comments especially Rich Rules , that to have effectively what is a 2 stage sliding work positioning effect : 1 from the front sliding attachment and then the whole caboodle sliding from the rear may seem potentially unpredictable ?

Is it not the case that the ability of the rear webbing to slide around the harness that also carries the front attachment , would be impinged dependent on how much weight/pressure is loaded into it by the climbers weight , making it behave differently as loading is imparted in differing amounts as the climbers weight is loaded/ unloaded into the harness back dependent on position ?

Also, I’m slightly confused as to why I’d ever need 3 bridges , or for that matter, two sets of side d’s ?

I really want to like this harness but thus far I’m remaining unconvinced, and I’ve yet to hear anyone prefer it to the legendary Treemotion .

‘Tis still early days though ......

I've had my eye on a potential second harness for some time and the Simarghu has been top of that wish list for a while. The webbing straps that attach the leg pads to the main part of the harness are preferable to the shock cord on the T.M imo. I like to keep the leg loops closed and then just step in and pull up the harness, this is always a struggle with the T.M and i usually get twanged in the arse with the shock cord. The other thing that the Simarghu has is the fully integrated chest harness with life support as apposed to the T.M which has an optional set of suspenders which are more of an afterthought and have reviewed very badly.

Interesting, so the webbing from waist pad to bridge rings slides on the back pad? Never seen one in the flesh.

[Rich Rule]

Yes Paddy.

 

might I add though, it is a well built harness, pretty comfy with a few customisable options like the 3 bridges.

 

as for my comments on the twisting of the bridge, it still works and does what it says on the tin.  I would just need some time to get used to it and adapt.

Do you want to borrow one for a couple of weeks ? as your near me ill drop one off for you to try

[Mark Bolam]

Les, that is a very kind offer, thank you.

 

I don't really climb enough days to do a trial justice, though.

I can ask one of the gun climbers I use if they would put one through it's paces and write an honest review though?
