Treemotion harness

[jarborist]

A note on the Tree Motion Light for any one interested. I found the Tree Motion slipped when I had a large saw on, and generally didn't fit me too well. Although it looks just the same the material on the 'light' isn't the same , and I find it 'moulds' better , also I like that it does not have quick release (like the TM). However the attachment on the back is not for life support (unlike the TM).

 

Bad points of both TM's : lots of hanging bits.

Never had much problem with the hanging bits I've always cable tied or taped the excess stuff up unless you mean the "make a grown man cry" edition elastic bits that always manage to get hooked on fresh air just before you take that big step to the next limb

Python,

 

I agree not too much of a minus , not least given all the good parts (as The TM Light isn't quick release you just have to be a bit more creative in wrapping up the ends).

I just know for some they don't like all the 'stuff' (strap ends,holes, loops, elastic) around the place, in which case they will probably look at another harness.

 

The elastic however - as you say, makes a grown man cry.

That's the compromise I guess with a harness that is highly adaptable with replaceable everything's

I concur

Hi Jamie,

I have a love hate relationship with my TM. I hate all the loose flappy bits, it is a busy harness but it gives endless options to hang the Christmas decorations from I love having the lower D's. I love the fact it's a comfortable harness to sit in. I hate the fact that all of the custom gear loops were lost long ago in conifer jobs. I hate that I have to tighten it up so much to be able to hang a saw off it when really it is designed to be worn low on the hips. I love that everything on it is replaceable. I'll certainly take a good look at the competition before I buy another one, in some ways I really love it but in other ways it gets on my nerves.

Thanks guys for your input...inc the colour info😂, I think I'm going to stick with a tree Austria 3.2.

 

Well done chaps

I've got a butterfly, and I'm almost certain my quality of life will increase tenfold with a tree motion

If I wasn't on the tree motion I would go sequoia or vega, but that's my personal opinion

I find my tree motion is really nice and comfy for recreational climbing/swinging about on nice big open trees, but I find a saw weighs it down and there are a lot of parts to get snagged. This is only my opinion though as I do utilities now and the trees are usually covered in ivy or surrounded by thorn.

 

Treemotion is definitely the comfiest harness I've tried but I nicked the bridge with my silky which put me off working in it. Should just be more careful putting my silky away really.

 

Now I use the treemotion for nice big smooth climbs and use my other harness (with a thicker bridge) for the messy stuff.
