New Climbing Harness Advice

[Treespasser]

Hi all,

 

I'm after a new harness having been in the same make/model for 7 years.
I've only used the Petzl Sequoia in my time, but I'm finding it really aggravates my hip line, and legs in the leg loops when climbing all day. (Probably because I'm too skinny!)
Also it's be nice to have good rear support when carting heavy saws around a tree. I find with the Sequoia it always pulls the harness off of me so I have to be careful.
I've been told to check out the 'Notch Sentinel' harness, but I've never heard of that brand.
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Jack

Best thing is to get down to a local stockist and try some on for size.  I rate the sequoia, I went to that from a treemotion and then back to the treemotion.  I'd try and give that a try if you can.

My local shop has 2 harnesses to choose from!! I've always fancied a Treemotion. Perhaps try one at the APF this year.

APF is where I bought mine, Jonsies had a whole row hanging up which you can just hang in to try out. Really worthwhile.

Looks interesting , lets hope it doesn’t get a price bump

You can buy a shoulder attatchment for the sequoia srt harness,stops big saws pulling your harness down.

Tm's a good all round harness and good reports about the courant koala aswell

i have the tree motion lite ( might be called something else) and find it fits my skinny frame well 31” waist.

definitly worth taking time out to try them all on properly and hang in them.

i really like the tree motion at the moment.
