Skylotec Kolibri

[Mozza]

I have used a butterfly 2 harness for ages now, Its what i know, what i like, what work have provided and what i have in my own kit BUT today the butterfly 2 got BLOWN out of the water, a mate of mine in work got issued a Skylotec so at dinner time i had a do with it, WHAT a harness, so so comfy, The floating D is amazing, your whole weight transfers smoothly/quickly from one side to the other, GREAT!!

 

What are other peoples opinions on this harness??

Just got one and have to agree with everyone that they are the mustard, been through a few in my time and chose this one over the petzl and think i made the right choice.

Sat in all of 'em, had a sliding bridge for ages, now moved onto sequioa non srt because you can customise so much, including put on different length slings across the bridge, which means swivels, and paws go straight on to bridge, have been known to come out of tree walk about and wonder where i put harness, oh yeah still wearing it. I'll attach a picci of the beast.

Been using the Kolibri for about 2 years now, its a very comfortable harness, the solid legloops are a good idea and also help reduce the risk of suspension trauma (venal pooling).

 

If I could make any changes to the harness, it'd be to lose the four tool loops on the topside of the back support, back support needs to be like the Treeflex or Treemotion pelvic support, have open/close legloops and design a new bridge that doesnt involve a buckle with a sewn termination.
