Best harness for a big fella?

[Ja-mes]

Without sounding cheeky lol what sort of size are you?

Just im a bigger lad so I want a harness that would accept me comfortably

I'm quite big too. Have the large size (2) harness.

I have an Austria duo, I'm 6 ft 2 and 18 stone. Nice Harness, removable seat.

 

i second that... the austria duo's have a seat that clips on and unclips in seconds... and if very comfy

Right, I'm not massive but I'm not small.... 6' and 13st but I've climbed in a few harnesses. I started with a Navaho and found it the same as you, its not really a work position harness but a good place to start. I've used a Komet dragonfly (i think) with a seat and your right it will restrict your movement. Weaver, now don't be affraid! They're bullet proof, cheap and perfect for a big fella but talk about ball crackers the leg straps are like a guillotine. Sequoia are nice but they're like a sports harness very light and the belt doesn't have that much padding, although I have seen big fella's in them.

 

I finally discovered the Skylotec Humming Bird, you have to step into the leg loops which is a bit tricky but once it's on you'll really notice the difference. I would recommend trying as many harnesses as you can before you commit your hard earned money. I payed £180 for mine and it was worth every penny. Don't skrimp though or buy second hand....it's one of your most important pieces of kit.

I saw that but I didnt notice it was more of a seat harness. That looks like quite a comfortable harness although it looks like it would limit movement in the tree? Specifically limiting the width the climber can move their legs outwards?

 

You can adjust the width of the seat to suit yourself.

Have a look at the cresto sky belt
