petzl seqoia swing

[dent]

i've seen these stocked on fr jones and was wondering if anyone uses one

they look well padded and i prefer seat harneses to legloop ones but want something with a sliding d rather than fixed as i find it easier to move with the sliding d's

I've been climbing one since the Arbshow. I tried as many 'sit' harnesses as I could as I can't do without a seat, I find it uncomfortable. At first glance the Swing LOOKS uncomfortable!, when I got my weight in it, I found it to be the best of the bunch.

I use a Petzl swivel mounted onto the bridge (easy to install), which is great with my lockjack. I've also added a sliding dee from my old harness for use with secondary climb lines, don't use it that often, but it nice to have on there (and I don't like attaching a krab directly to a bridge).

Not good for any kind of hedgework, its a pure 'climb' harness, I've got an old willans for that. Try before you buy, a few of my mates have tried it on and didn't like the big seat!

great for spending a long time in. It is a rigid seat which catches a lot in hairy spruce.
