what do you use to connect your pull belt?

[cerneARB]

Bought my first harness on saturday..ekn Kolbri sliding D. Got to get the rest of kit i.e. pull belt , karbiners ecte.

 

What do you lot use to connect your pull belt to harness. The bloke in the shop said dont use 3 way karbiners because there not shutting right. i have used 3 ways at college but we make sure they get the WD40 treatment prior to climbing.

 

Any thoughts?

i use a mailon with a twist so my grab sits nice on its side and doesnt get all twisted. but the mailon is from a sailing shop and isnt arb specific so not sure if i should be using it. you should have a weak point in your flip line if its a wire core one so it can be cut with a knife in rescues. but i have never seen anyone with this on there attachment. Where you buy your harness from?

i think he means a pole belt. they always call it a pole belt at college. its a flip line to me.
