Comparing Harnesses

[MikePoor]

Hey rentachimp, You noticed i tried to change the subject (waist size) in my last post! Ha! Ha! Here me looking..... almost beastly

 

[Stumper]

Neanter, Personally I am a fan of the NewTribe saddles(though I choose the Vi Special over the Progear). I have little to add regarding your list except that I have NEVER spoken with anyone who truly loves the Glide. About the best reviews I have heard are-"It is okay."

 

[Stumper]

BTW, Cakes and pastries RULE!

I heard today that the UK average waist size, for men, is 37in. Surprised?

Thats because people in the UK don't eat properly.

Curries, Crisps, Chips, cheeseburgers, chinese takeaway, kentucky fried, ready cooked meals, fizzy drinks, sweets, chocolate, pizzas, beer, wine, spirits, Huge amounts of salt, sugar and butter, ice cream, every type of junkfood.

The above is what many people in the UK now live on.

Combine this with an increasingly sendentiary lifestyle and you have a perfect recipe for 37in being the average waistsize in the UK.

The UK has a huge problem with diet, Scotland(the sick man of Europe) in particular has the worst rates for heart disease, cancer, obesity and alcohol/smoking related deaths in Europe.

In some districts of Glasgow the average life expectency for men is 57!!!!

Its a BIG problem

Children in the UK are now fatter than US kids.

And to think we used to make fun of fat americans.

Pot bellied american

Average british family - proud of their fatness.

The Ultralight was my first floating D/leg strap harness. What a comfort after spending years in a four D butt strap harness. I will never go back to a butt strap harness.

I used the UL until I got my Butterfly I.

 

[JesseHuffman]

I had one. I thought it was very comfortable. Nothing like my TM but definitly my 2nd favorite.

Hey I’m an average UK climbing chap and was so shocked at this statistic that I nearly choked on my Big Mac & Fries.

Next you’ll be telling us that smoking isn’t good for our health.

Ha Ha Ha!

Lets not forget the importance of 'H/D ratio' in determining sufficient girth

!

 

[Frank1]

I thought the ability to secondary thicken and grow a new layer every year was essential to the arborist! Perhaps I was asleep at college on that that day- maybe its just trees that should do that .

I'm a size 30!

 

[Tom Dunlap]

I've got the Dragonfly batten seat for my Butterfly. I used the DF setup for a while but didn't like it. If I ever had a job where I had to sit in position for a long time I would change back but not for routine climbing.

 

[easyphloem]

I just switched my Dragonfly batten for the Butterfly leg loops.

The batten seat restricted my movement too much. I actually just climbed a little ways up in a White Oak in my f/y to test it out. I like the leg loops better.

Try a Bry -Dan saddle. Avilable through Seirra Moreno Mercantile Company.

 

[sohner]

How I connect to my saddle. I use a Paw as my central attachment point and I also use two caribiners to secure it to my saddle. Gives the lower body parts room to spread out.

 

[boreality]

Don't forget the new Petzl Sequoia, not avalible yet, but early 2oo8. It looks good. Hopefully we'll get some reviews here soon.
