Petzl Sequoia Swing(it\'s got a seat)

The new sequoia with a seat.

I wish it was here now, I'd like to try this before I buy something else. It looks very nice. It says that the width of the seat is adjustable which would be a nice feature in a batten seat saddle. Anyone seen anything from petzl about this?

The straps in that photo are set up wrong, on the side closest to the camera (the wearer's right).

I could not figure why on earth the seat strap did not go directly to the gold ring for proper load distribution.

If you look closely, the left side is correct, but not the right side.

Damn it! I just bought a sequoia but usually prefer a bosun seat...
You mean I could have had BOTH ?!?

you can still have your seat. Just buy a Podium

Aw man I was in a "seat" for many years and they really helped take the knee knock out that I was experiencing. It seemed like there wasn't much call for a bosun seat and I saw less of them for a few years. Noel lent me a Butterfly and it was cool, then I went into a Tree Motion and really liked it but I'd really like to have a nice seat. So I'm hopeful...

Re: Petzl Sequoia Swing(it\'s got a seat)

Guys, thank you for pointing the error out. As Sciuropterus has rightly pointed out one side is correct (the right side as you look at it). This was probably an oversight when the professional photos were taken when gear is sometimes dismantled and re-assembled in order to attach the wires to hold it in place for the photo. Rest assured that the product will be correctly assembled when it comes onto the market in UK in March / April time (This is an estimated time for delivery).
