Hi bob,

 

Just out of curiosity what are the issues?

 

Wondered because I clip into the ones on my TreeMagic. As mentioned by some, I personally can't think of any problems as the bridge essentially runs through them.

i have had both. the tree motion is more comfy, but too bulky for my tastes so opt for the sequioa out of the 2, which is still very comfy

I believe they are for twisting and crushing the 3 lots of webbing between the ring and a crab

but always open for debate

Look at the tag on the harness. Shows exactly that! And that they are rated for use as side d rings only. I have never used them like that though

Yea I guess there is a bit of potential there for twisting and carabiners rubbing on webbing. Guess you just have to be careful! Perhaps the the reason the treemotion ones are rated to suspension is that they keep the crab separate from the rest of the webbing etc.

Good point

Good point

 

I guess if you were really that worried about it, you could girth a couple of very short webbing slings onto the rings and maybe stitch/tape them to they stay girthed and in place when not in use. Just more hassle though for something I clip into so rarely anyway.

Good point Ben.

 

I clipped my side strop into the gold rings yesterday for the first time in ages.

 

Left my pruning spikes in the truck....

I've currently got a sequoia. It's a nice lightweight harness. Had it for nearly 2 years now. I tried on a treemotion today and it just felt right! So now I'm thinking to swap.

 

Should I? It's a big chunk of money, will it be worth it?

 

have you tried the austria duo?
