Tree motion shoulder straps

Get sore hips with the TM. Which seems to be turning into sciatica sometimes. Worse when on stems and spikes.

 

Anyways, bought the tm shoulder straps to alieviate this and much more comfortable. But very annoying to put on and off? Am I missing something? Cant see to put them on like a pair of braces once in the harness, have to put the lot over my head and clip to back hoop.

How are you wearing the harness. A lot of people seem to wear it over the hips. I think it's designed to be worn beneath them.

Yep what Joe said. If the TM buckle isn't below your trouser belt then you're probably wearing it wrong.

 

Unless you wear your trousers like this that is....

Aye, I wear my harness pretty low, below my hips. Never really found a harness that doesnt fall down or when done up tighter isnt comfy tbh.

The braces definatley help alot, especially when hanging bigger saws of your harness, but the TM one seems a bit of an arse to take off.
