I'm wondering how the TM is with a bigger guy. I'm not what you would call a racing snake size more your comfy couch sort of guy. I use a medium tree flex at the moment but need a new harness and fancy one of these especially with the maximum user weight of 120kg. Does anyone have any knowledge of bigger guys wearing them?

I don't get it when people say that this harness is better than that one etc.

 

harnesses are just personal preference ,just because its expensive and looks fancy does not mean its the right one for you.

 

I climb on a petzil sequoia and my boss and someone else i work with use a Willians Harness.

You'll be fine! I ain't no whippet either! I used to work with a chap who was an absolute unit and a TM fitted him perfectly

what's the use, benefit of rear attachment point? I can imagine it's handy to be lowered out on if you've done yourself a mischief, but what about climbing ,branch walking, work positioning?

 

Also people moaning about the harness needing to be uncomfortably tight with a heavy saw, at least that harness has the straps as an option, looks a good thing

I've never used it as any thing other than clipping my saw on but I believe it's possibly for buckets in a mewp and arial rescue ? It has not always been rated for climbing on though, only on the newer models .... Never had any issue with big saws either , il regularly have 3 and 4ft bared saws hanging off all In I would say it's the most comfortable harness I've used especially with big saws but with the exception of the eye watering moments of it getting snagged in conifer hedges but l don't do many so have nothing but praise :)

I used the rear attachment on a co-dominant ash stem. Removed the canopy, kept a high anchor on one stem and moved down the next one with work positioning lanyard and ropes neat around the back. Tried it just to see, I liked it. Did find it a bit of a novelty thing, but it works
