As title really, possibly any of the suppliers on here could give us a heads up?

 

Cheers, Pete.

What's the craic with the new model Pete? Not heard of this one.

 

Currently climb in the normal kolibri, but if im honest, will be looking for something considerably lighter weight next time considering my rather diminutive stature!

Its been on the cards for a year or so Jim, but seems to be slow at coming out. Was hoping it was here by now.

 

When i finished with my Butterfly I really liked the standard kolibri but can you believe, the leg cups were too tight on my trunks so ended up getting a Sequoia. Nice harness but not the butterfly or kolibri. Just somehow cant get used to it even after a year.

 

The Sport is said to be like the standard Kolibri but lighter and with soft leg loops. If or when it comes out Id love to try it. Just hoping really.

ahh sounds like it oughta be good.

 

yeah i thought the kolibri was good and comfy with the wide and firm leg loops but the payoff was them keeping rotating into the wrong position.

 

I find the wide support of the back comfortable but for something so wide and seemingly self-supporting, the side D's really tear into my pelvis. Have taken to using the lower side Ds the bridge attaches to, as my side attachment points for comfort reasons. bit of a pain to hook in and out of though.

 

my word is it heavy though!

 

definitely want something lighter and less noticable when im wearing it. may help me climb somewhat more 'naturally'... i hope

i have been waiting for the new version of the standard Kolibri , i first looked at while at the 2009 AA arb show , then Againg at the 2010 AA arb show and since then i have called fletcher stewarts . Every time i hear the same old thing " yes sir it will be available within the next month" . Will it ever actually happen ????? Yawn !!!!!

Just had a rummage and found quite a big spread in Fletchers catalogue pages 26 & 27, but cant find it on the web site.

 

Hopefully fletchers or another supplier can put us in the picture sometime:thumbup1:
