Komet Dragonfly Harness Bridge Worries

[Mfrederick]

I have been using my komet dragonfly harness for a year now and its mighty comfortable! I do however worry about the quality of the bridge. The stitch covering came off after first use and bridge has never filled me with confidence. The bridge ring supplied is far to small and can be a

Little frustrating. I took the d shackle off to have a look and was shocked by how easy to undo it was.

 

I'm considering replacing the bridge like for like but I was wondering if anyone had used an alternative bridge and anchor to good effect? Any recommendations?

Tighten the shackles up properly with a tool, not just the fingers.

Have no fear the bridge is strong. If you want summat that look a bit beefier go for harkie/treehog bridge and shackles and remember to use locktite.

Cheers coleman ill check it out.

 

I think it goes without saying that I do my d shackle up with a tool and not by hand I don't have go go gadget fingers.

That was meant to be tongue in cheek. I obviously failed there.

I run a rope bridge through the shackles and tie off a topper knot behind the shackles. Much better as the ring never gets caught behind the stitching or anything. Also easy and cheap to swap out bridges, never have to undo the shackles and the just stay tight.

Yeah that makes complete sense! I like that idea I'll give It a go. Cheers Kevin
