Are you going rock climbing?

I have the navaho Vbod, its only good in the bucket, with a center stationary d-ring it sucks for tree climbing. At least that was my experience.

i was thinking for an SRT harness. there are loops on the sides to add a rope ridge. cant you see them?

 

[classictruckman]

Are you going to change saddles once you're up there or do you want something thats all-around comfortable?

Your better off getting something that is made to do what you want rather than modding a good saddle. When you introduce new elements to a product your going to increase your risk level unnecessarily.

Why would a seat harness work well for tree work?

I don't mean to start a debate...but this might...take a look at the number of leg strap harnesses for arbos compared to seat harnesses. I think it would be a step backward.

I personally like a leg strap harness, its the single non-moving attachment in the front I don't like, it causes the waist to slide around you when you're reaching out to the tips its very uncomfortable.

Classic,

Why not get a leg strap harness with a bridge? This seems to be the most common harness for climbers who spend their time in the outer third of the canopy with shallow rope angles. For climbers on the inner canopy with steep rope angles these designs are less necessary.

I do, I own a glide 2, and love it after climbing in a petzl navaho vbod for 2 years.
