Going through the (tree)motions

[RobRainford]

I'm thinking if going for a new harness at some point in the near future. My sequoia has done me well however I'm starting to find it a bit small and cuts into me a bit at times.

 

My next one I have decided will be a tree motion. However I'm looking at the tree motion v2 with the backpad and a few extra bits. Then there's the lightweight that looks exactly the same minus the backpad.

 

Anybody have experience with the lighter one or know if its still any good? Is the extra 50 quid worth it for the 'full package' tree motion v2?

Cheers!

Cheeky bugger!

 

Ill have you know I've lost weight these past couple weeks.

 

I tried one once but the leg loops were way too tight so it wasn't comfy. The back felt nice. I'm just wondering what exactly the difference between the v2 and lightweight are! They both seem exactly the same!

I'd go for full weight version can't complain with mine, and comes with the very comfy back pad

I have the upgraded one, love it to bits.. so comfy you forget your wearing it.. couldn't recommend it more.... Ok maybe I could, worth the extra. :thumbup:

The upgraded version is rated to 120 kgs and the back attachment is now ppe rated to 15kn (recommended for mewp) , plus that back pad is awesome.

I've had a tree motion for years and years. Had two actually. I tried the light one at the Arb show and from what I remember it didn't have leg or waist buckles. I was told it was mainly for the comp climbers. I've bought the back padding for my old tree motion add it was worn away and it's like a brand new harness again.

One thing I will say though, is watch out for the leg elastic as it gets caught and snaps quite a lot. Get yourself some spare to keep in your kit bag.

I'll second that. Careful when it does get caught because when it lets got it gives you one hell of a twang on the posterior!

Had a treemotion for years and love it like no other:thumbup: everybody is different though

I get that with the sequoia. It's got two wide ish bands of elastic that can make your eyes water on a cold day!

I had a sequoia then when my gear was nicked I thought I would try the tree motion I found it to bulky and not as comfortable I sold it and got another sequoia. See if you can borrow one first as there not cheap and not for evey one.
