Hard harness

[coleman]

Can you add more attachments to the bridge on the treecore??? and how is it with big saws??? first time ive seen that one, looks interesting

I just got told by my LOLER man that i need to retire my Komet Dragonfly at the next inspection as its 5yrs old. Its still fine IMO but only has 5 yr service life. Thinking of just getting another one as my boss has got through 4 harnesses in the same time (Treemotion, Abies, Austria and now a Harkie) although he has eaten all the pies!!

 

Anyone recommend a different harness as hard wearing and technical?????

 

austria 3 or i climb in a skylotec kolibri,, very comfy and well built harness

I use the tree motion, I wouldn't recommend it though as it is less than adequate in my opinion. Your best option is to speak to someone who does not own a tree motion, and maybe consider asking someone who owns a different type of harness.

my boss had one when they first came out and it lasted 9 months!!! the webbing just wore out super fast and all the gear attachmentsfell to bits. I dunno weather they changed it now but that right put me off considering its the most expensive harness on the market!

I picked one of the treemotions up after everyone saying how good they were. It genuinely is the most comfortable harness ive tried but like everyone says they wear out quick. Dont fancy another dragonfly cole?

Yeah drangonfly again methinks!! hard as nails!!

[BenR]

If it aint broke dont fix it ay. Good thing Im a whippet cos I love a light harness!

Don't take my word for it really though. You have not seen my harness.

Incidentally,

A farmer told me last week that a climber fell out a tree last week near here because part of his harness came apart.

Paraplegic now. Very bad news indeed.

 

sad to hear when that happens, what harness was it that the climber was wearing?

I would agree with that, our Tom had one and bits of it fell of within a month, but it is VERY comfortable.

 

Ive had 3 (one personal, 2 at work over the last 6 years) tree austria 3's now, and have the detachable seat which makes life very comfy on big trees and avoided constriction of main arteries in the thigh, which was getting to be an issue for me.

 

Before these I was a Komet (no seat version) fan, but since finding the tree austrias improved weight and comfort benefits wont ever look to another till production ceases.
