Petzl Sequioa Harness

[Mark Bolam]

Does it hold it's position well after adjustment?

 

Problem with my Butterfly II is that the straps creep after each climb so I have to constantly readjust it.

 

How are the quick release buckles holding up? They look a bit plasticky.

it is a dream to put on, to get off, you can actually walk about and forget you have it on. Normally you hit the ground have a moan and recover then drop the harness, this fella you are quite happy to start cross cutting or something. Best harness so far, loads of areas to adjust and make even better. may put a second swivel onto bridge, just to get that oh so sexy clanging noise. Then you know your goin somewhere

Petzl Sequoia = Highly Recomended

Like the bespoke bridge tony - I've had the standard one on mine for a long while and it still feels that a hefty swipe with a silky might put an end to it all - what diameter rope sheath have you used and any tips on tying off the ends?

[Amelanchier]

'Twas 11mm Velocity (applied with violence, frustration and anger) and the ends are secured with a rather ad hoc mix of insulation tape, shrink wrap and whipping. The whipping is the key, stitched parallel with the bridge, which allows the paw to slide over it without catching.

 

A product of trial and frequent errors...

I've just bought the sequioa SRT and find it very comfy. One thing that does slightly worry me though is the screws coming lose in the gold gates. How is everyone finding these? Are they holding up to daily use?

 

Also, something I've noticed in the instructions that you get with the harness is that the attachment bridge and each side D ring are only rated to 15kN. This seems quite low to me considering most karabiners are rated to 30kN. Any comments.

 

 

 

Thanks

You will be attached to both the side d's at one time or to one side d and something on the bridge. 15kn X2 =30kn.

I love my sequoia, not had any problems with it yet though I do find that sometimes the karabiners can slip over gold rings if you're twisted quite a bit.

bang a swivel inbetween bridge and krabs. problem solved
