    Possible zigzag accident

    Hi treevet! The bent zigzag image provided by Petzl is just an example of one that should be retired, to fit their descriptions of misuse. As for the image of the one with the torn eye that has been getting around, i am not positive it has been said anywhere that that is the actual one from...

    Chainsaw Pants, Advice?

    Cheers rockettree! My argument of trousers being safer than chaps is trousers are ALWAYS on. With chaps the is always the temptation to make an excuse not to wear them. Eg. Oh it's too hot today - Oh I left them in the other truck - Oh it's just a couple of easy cuts - Oh this is just a quick...

    Blaze and ZigZag okay in comps?

    [ QUOTE ] Many of these devices we are speaking about have a CE# and/or an EN#. I cannot say all as I do not have some in front of me. Now as I understand it (take for granted I am going on some fact, some research, some things told to me and a bit of intuition) the CE # signifies the testing...

    Blaze and ZigZag okay in comps?

    [ QUOTE ] Ok, so I'm going to eat all my words defending the zigzag. It sounds as if it is straight up failing... [/ QUOTE ] Quite literally Kevin. There has just been a fall in europe reported due to a zigzag failure. Warning issued. More info when details known.

    Chainsaw Pants, Advice?

    Hey rocket tree, While ALL of the Pfanner trousers are 1st class in quality and comfort, the Cool Ventilations are head and shoulders above if you value light-weight and well, coolness and er...ventilation! They are about 25% lighter than their regular Gladiators or Arborist trousers. The...

    running bowline vs. clove

    I think the weakness of a running bowline when pushed to the limits is not the strength of the knot but the rope on rope friction at the choke when it cinches resulting in a heat caused failure rather than a tensile failure. The harder/faster the load the more heat. Now if you're experiencing...

    Kids Climbing Harness?

    Great to hear Gleaf! Yeah, for the littlies they need it up high to help keep them upright, not really having the core strength to hold themselves up in a lower body style harness.

    Kids Climbing Harness?

    The Edelrid Fraggle is a big improvement on the Ouistiti Lots more padding and will fit a smaller kid better.

    Petzl gold screw ring on sequoia

    Hey Tom & Climberjunkieee, treegear is in Australia. A long way from europe and the us, where most the product has to come from. The costs of shipping everything 1/2 way round the world, import duties, taxes, distributors all taking their clip doesn't help. And we are the best value one here!

    Petzl gold screw ring on sequoia

    Conecto too big and clumsy???? How so? It is about half the size of the petzl one. Like a chunkier version of the ringS that goes on the bridge, or a dmm anchor ring. It is used in the same purpose as the sequoia on the stein vega harness.
