GQ Harness ??????

[Arborjim]

Yes its a HB special they came out mid to late 90's as a competetor of the Komet range sliding D's etc. It wasnt a bad harness but the sliding D's were too small and with cold wet hands they were a pain in the backside. One of the training providers i used to work for had one aerial rescue was also a pain. If i'm not mistaken is that the one from the same training provider Bob i cant remember seeing another like it anywhere.

I would love to get one of these again any one know where?? I agree the old harnesses were rock hard they seem to be built to last and not to be comfy, ideal for sitting on top of a hedge all day, i'll be ripped to shreds but the old girl never gets caught up or worn out.

I have got two of them, both used but only taken out of service because of age, been stored in a dry plastic box so not rotten, was going to put on ebay, pm me if interested.

Reading this thread I see there is an old HoneyBros harness on ebay at the moment with just over an hour to go.
