Edelrid Tree Core Harness

[Adrián Ornelas]

Hello.
I'm new in the forum. I'm from Mexico City and my english is very bad, so I apologize about that.
I recently have buy a Edelrid Tree Core Harness, it's better compared to my old Camp Access Harness (which had no bridge) but I'm not entirely satisfied whit it, because:

1) It has a double bridge (one between legs and one adjustable between the lateral D rings) attached to a one single frontal D ring, which has two holes through which both tape bridges slides. This configuration makes the D ring have very little chance of turning and twists easily.

2) Lateral D rings are to small and its difficult to put the lanyard carabiner in when the load of my body is on the harness.

Maybe it will improve if I add a Swivel but I don't know if it's appropriate.
I appreciate your feedback on any experience or information about this harness

Thanks

Hi Adrian, welcome to the Buzz. Adding a swivel is a great idea, many climbers use them. You could put one to the d ring or possibly add a large one on the two bridges. Looking at the pictures of the harness, it looks like the lateral dees lean forward which might make it difficult to clip to. The description of the harness say they are removal, so maybe try turning them around to face the other way?
Good luck with it!
