Need a new harness

[Marc Lewis]

Time has come for a new harness. I have always used the willans but feel maybe time for a change. Don't get me wrong, I love the willans and have been with them now for 20 yrs and find them real comfy, but just think its time for a change. Like the idea of a floating bridge. I have tried the treemotion and although it was comfy I found there was far too much going on, seeing as I do not carry much kit with me. I tried the sequoia but found it quite restricting with the leg loops rather than the seat. I must say at this point that I do not use the seat to sit in as such (no time for that) just to sort of rest in if you like. Are all leg loop harness' like this or is it something you get used to?

 

Adam Bourne reviewed an Edelrid harness a year or so ago which I liked the look of...

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

Try out the Komet Butterfly, I always thought it was basic, but I never climbed on a Willans! Reasonably priced, and tough. Seems like just what you're after!

Are the butterfly's a good harness? I'm also looking at getting a new one but don't want to spend tree motion money!

[Jammydogg]

I like the look of the tree Austria...any thoughts?

I own a butterfly and a treemotion.

 

The tm is lovely, very well made, but the butterfly is also pretty decent for the price.

I climbed on a trusty Weaver until about month ago, would have got another but struggled to find anywhere that sold them!

 

After trying on many different harnesses I went for the Stein Vega, it seems to have good support and comfy, you create your own gear loops so it can be as minimal or busy as you want

Still on a tree motion here but.... although its great for freedom etc, im wanting something with a bit more padding as i'm only a small frame / waist. Sick of 660 trying to drag harness down etc...

 

Going to try my spare dragon fly harness out.

 

Also used to climb in an old weaver leather harness and that was ok

You can get the braces type attachment for when you have bigs saws on to stop that.
