Petzl sequioa swing

[Jamie M]

Hi guys,

I'm looking at getting a new Harness. For the last 7 years I've used a Komet Dragonfly (Rigid seat), and am now looking at the sequioa swing (again rigid seat). Does anyone use one if so what do you think, good points bad points et al...

Thanks

I heard the petzl harness' get pulled down easily by big saws.

[Bing!]

I have had 2 dragonfly and was tempted by the swing, have you seen/sat in the swing yet? I found the rigid seat to be to long and not that comfy, it isn't shaped to fit at the edges as the dragonfly is. Ended up with a Harkie.

 

Sorry, no help to you at all that post.......

This can be true for the sequoia harness. Depends on how you hang the saw. I think Steve uses some other method for moving about with the saw. Think it was him.

 

I did look at a swing before but wasn't sure about the seat part... Did look very practical to me.

I've got the top on my sequoia srt, it sorts that problem out and is doubly useful in a mewp. Really comfy.

 

Not sure if you can get the attachments for a top on the seat version though

I've been on a Petzl swing for a couple of years now. I love it. If you like a'sit' harness this is great, all the weight is off your hips. Downside, its a pure 'climb' harness and on the ground its like having a plank strapped on your 'arris!. It can slip a bit with a bit saw..just do it up tighter .

Thanks for the feedback so far guys, much appreciated.

I've been in a Dragonfly for years and really rate it. Have not used the Petzl.

I'll be replacing my Dragonfly with a TM as I'm finding the seat annoying since I started climbing SRT.

It's purely a personal thing and no use to you probably, sorry.
