where to wear the treemotion

[charlie]

I have a treemotion harness, was wondering where is it supposed to be worn!!

is it above the hips?on the hips? or below hips? many thanks charlie.

On or just below. As low as you can get it really!

I like to wear mine down the pub.

i was wearing it above the hips, why is that not where it is supposed to be worn as it feels comfortable?

Probably quite low on the hips if your down the pub, but if you dont want to slip out of it if you invert in a tree then definitely have the belt tightened up above the hips. Same for all harnesses without shoulder straps.

If it's below your hips wouldn't it start to slip down your legs? I sometimes have to hitch mine up when there's a saw hanging from it.

[Rupe]

Maybe I'm thinking waist. On the hips then, as low as feasable without going below.

For wearing in a tree, i would say same as treeflex, ie one hands width below your navel, as a guide.

 

If slipping down is a problem, you can get a chest harness for it.

It shouldn't slip down if the rope is holding you up, so almost under the hips and then it lifts you making you lighter and so you move better round the tree. Its is supposed to lift you from the hips so maybe I was right the first time.

That's a good point, maybe I'm wearing mine to high and it's slipping down to the right place. I'll try it next week, super!
