Quick treemotion question

[sean fg]

So I have been using the skylotec harness for years but recently made the switch to the treemotion v2 but I'm having trouble adjusting the waist.

 

On my skylotec that also has the fast buckles I would just slip it on loose, fasten it then pull it tight.

But when I do the same with the treemotion it will not move, so I'm having to set it to a tight fit then fight like mad to get it closed.

 

I'm I missing something or is this how it is?

 

Cheers guys

the tree motion works nice when the waist isn't to tight , i have mine just on the hips.

spend a while playing around with adjustments and then keep when its good you don't have to play around anymore. look on youtube for help.

You're not a real climber unless you're fighting like hell with stuff.

(Waist belt tight and leg loops a bit loose here).

Same as Old Mill, waist dead tight and leg loops loose otherwise any kit you hang on it will pull it down to your ankles.... Am thinking of getting the shoulder straps for it.

Has anyone on here tried them and are they any good?

The TM waist belt is dead easy to tighten when it is weighted. Just snug it as best you can then clip onto your rope and sit in it. A whole bunch of slack will magically appear. Unclip the waist snap, tighten and re snap.

I haven't given mine a proper chance yet but for big saw work or SRT they're good. Could do with some padding on the shoulders though.

Nice one Joe,

Looking forward to giving SRT a go.

Need to get e wrench or similar first though.

Think I'll get some straps.....
