Arb supplies scotland?

[David Goss]

perhaps you guys could car share one day and make a trip to Clarks?

 

No need, a few clicks and a diminished bank balance later the stuff arrives at the door without having to sit in the car for 4 hours:thumbup1:

What kind of harness are you looking for?

 

What do you use just now?

 

I want a komet butterfly or dragonfly?..the one with the hard sat bitty..good for my arse and good in cypress hedges..better sitting on that than getting a topped stem up my are. I climbed with one of them for a year or so at my previous company..my current firm have given me some horrible svenk thing (cant remember the name its like 8 years old) what do you recomend? what do you climb on? Im quite partial to the seat lolll

Yea been here for about 10 months now, just freelancing at the moment so if you need any help give me a shout

Spences at Gilmerton i dont know of yet are they any good?

i used to have a butterfly and it sucks compared to my new tree motion, thats what i would recommend you go for, bit pricey but way comfier than a butterfly.

Not been in spence for years they never use to do arb gear might now though, were very expensive.

Alpha plus in livingston used to do arb gear but never had much, deal with clarkes or fr jones both brilliant companies to deal with, the stuff is with you the next day and im sure if its not right you can send it back.

You could try a Skylotec Kolibri. it has leg loops, but the legloops are hard like the hardseat on the Dragonfly.

 

The svensk thing you mention sounds like a Skybelt, they did a version with a hardseat and a sllding front D, its a decent and reasonably well made harness but a little restrictive when moving around the tree when compared to a Kolibri or Treemotion etc.

These guys normally have a decent stock of harnesses in, might even have a Dragonfly.

Ask to speak to Robert, they're based in Irvine, Ayrshire, He would have no issue with you trying a harness on I'm sure -

there are no arb suppliers in edinburgh, gustharts is a 2hr drive as is clarks. spence only does saws and is quite expensive. If you know you want a dragonfly then get it on the net.
