I use the tool loops all the time, had a 88 hanging off there the other day.Not much higher than 12ft up, but it did'nt show any strain on it, just me!

Got a wee caritool clip on the right, and a Zubat on the left, only things that are on almost permanantly.

Have pulled the centre attachment belt in quite tight as using hitchclimber and find that works better for me.

Did find that a tip posted on here somewhere(can't remember who or where, sorry)about putting the straps(one's nearest yer bum crack) over the top of your leg instead of under, does help stop the travel these are prone to sometimes.

If i think on i'll take a pic tommorow.

Before you step into the harness, loosen the straps that sit nearest your family jewels right off, then make sure as you put it on they pass over the front of your leg so that when you've pulled it up the straps sit on top of your thigh, it stops the leg loops riding to the side so much.

Was a tip i picked up on here, can't remember who said it or where it was posted, but has been quite handy on some climbs.

Is that clear mate?i know what i mean:biggrin:

Good choice.

 

I had to cut the 3 tool loops off that go up the way from the back support.

Thanks for the tip, spent two hours sat in harness the other day with leg supports all over the place needless to say i needed a nut transplant soon after (misses thought it was funny that i was walking like John Wayne though)

A new NZ designed harness is to be available soon made by Aspiring Enterprises. See the Treetools website for more info. Not sure if it could be used outside of Aus/NZ due to no CE mark but thought id post about it anyway. Will be about half the price of the european harness'.
