Dear valued clients,

it has come to our attention that in an extremely small quantity (0.00005% = 1 out of 2 million) of COBRA ® buckles there may exist parts where the rivets have not been press fixed.

Doesnt affect the treemotion light harness,it has no buckles just pull tight straps

Thanks for this!

Nice one! Noticed that rivets in general seem to be a common manufacturer's oversight failure point - there was a thing a while back on Treehog spurs, saying to check the rivets were the new type, as the old type were failing. Only time I had a chain break on me was from a shop-made loop where they hadn't spun the rivet - just whacked it.

I checked mine couple of weeks ago and found this...,,,

 

 

 

Seems to have happened as a result of chafing on the lower D's which is surprising as there are no rough edges.

 

I set it up when I first bought it a couple of years ago and never re-adjusted it, ever. Note to self.. readjust the straps on the leg loops periodically to prevent it wearing out prematurely.

 

I know this isn't the same issue highlighted in the OP but if if helps prevent the same happening to anyone else it's worth it.

At least replacements are available, changed mine a year back
