TreeFlex harness?????

[slack ma girdle]

What were you doing to make the bridge fall apart ?

[The she surgeon]

The little metal shackle bit, it screws in at the side. The D ring always hooks/catches over it. Does that make sense? I'd been climbing in the harness all day taking down a Cedar so it must have worked loose.

[Steve Bullman]

Yeah i get ya. So the pin worked out rather than physically failed? Had it been done up with loctite??

[The she surgeon]

Yes it worked out. No I have never put loctite on it, I didn't realise you were ment to I thought that part of the harness was never designed to come apart. It had never come loose before and was not loose at the start of the day.

I'm not sure if they loctite them in the factory or not. I have a sequioa...slightly different type of shackle but they still screw together. I always loctite mine and check them periodically to be on the safe side.

My friend has one and loves it, says its very comfortable and the back pad is designed by orthopedics, it doesn't have many tool loops but thats not a concern for some people. Sorry i cant help more.

It's about as orthopedic as my extortionately expensive orthopedic bed, as in it will not cure your back woes.

Any good fitting comfortable harness is good for you.

[The she surgeon]

I think its the fact that the screw potrudes and the fact that the D-ring of karabiner is constantly catching on it must have caused it to loosen quickly.

I always loctite mine too.... good practice in my opinion... also mark it up so if there is any movement its instantly noticeable

Wichard make a perfectly good shackle with screws that sit flush with the shackle....i dont really know why they dont use these instead.

Yes. I think I may make do until AA Trade fair and then have a real good look and go for a different harness this time:thumbup1:
