Any new harnesses on the horizon?

[Peter]

I regularly hang a 660 on my black diamond. The petzl isnt quite so strong, but they only cost about a fiver so if it lasts a year I'm more than happy. Normal length saw strop does me fine, 150 cm when extended, the bungee type with a steel ring near the saw end. The steel ring clips into the clipper, the biner end stays attached to the red ring all the time.

 

Dont mind a bit of arse bashing myself, but I find with the saw clipped up high and slightly aft of hip it doesnt get in the way too much.

I hated the idea of using the red clip so i used the side stuff sure enough it started to fail so used the back red one after a few weeks though it seems second nature to use the red clip,you just need a longer strop! Its by far the most agile and comfy harness i have used ,its major down fall imo is the elastic that holds the leg loops in position causes a wave of nausea when it gets snagged and slaps your arse.

 

I would look at the duo 3 though if looking for a harness.

cant fault mine, had it 2 years or so. when mine finally retires il probably replace it with another unless something else comes to the market

cool, well wills tm is in the van, so i might go have a play in the oaks outside in a bit, mess up his adjustments for him

 

i did wonder if you used the metal ring on the caritool, our boss uses the caritool to hold the handle of a topper, but then he is 3ft nothing!

Weren't they working on a new treeflex?

 

there was a thread on it a while ago I think, any one know anything?

[josharb87]

i had the original one complete with bridge problems, still got it back in the uk, that was ok actually, but ordering a harness tommorrow!

 

 

just seen this on the tree motion:scared1: dont think even peter has this much junk:lol:

 

 

 

just gonna have lunch, then off for a climb, hows best to wear the tm? i like to wear harnesses below the top of my hips, not on my lower back

[Tommy_B]

That typical set up always cracks me up!!!

 

I have mine set up just on hips if that helps.

[MattyF]

Should get on fine with it josh then I have mine low find it well comfy!

[josharb87]
