|  Anyone like their butterfly or sherrill glide?
Anyone like their butterfly or sherrill glide? Iv tryed them both any really didn't care for them. but i spent 1/2 an hour in each and played around with the adjustment's, and after a while they weren't that bad. As we all know a new harness always feels wrong to start with, but i'd like to know if anyone has gone from a seat style to a "2 leg loop" style successfully.  |

I've gone from an old buttstrap one when i first started to a leg loop for a good few years, then a seated traverse for a good few years too. Then tried a leg loop Glide for a few months and really didnt like it. Back to the traverse. Recently climbed in the sequoia and were very impressed. It would suit sporty climbing, prunes & small/med trees well, but think i'd still pref the traverse on a big all day removal job. Both is a nice combo. Right harness for the right job. I can, but deliberately don't sell the Glide because i disliked it enough that i don't really want to put someone else in one. But i can order one if anyone really is sure they want one. |

Is it the sherrill glide you dont like? Also are you going to be getting some 8mm prussic for your online shop? |

Started on a linemans belt,went to a weaver 4 dee,now i climb in a navaho sit.I love the navaho sit,wouldn't think of replacing it with a seat saddle,those are just too restricting for my style of climbing.

Hey guys, I used a couple of comet butterflys where I used to work, good harness when u get used to them, can be a little "pinchy" when you first use them, adjustment is key, that is the main problem people have is when they havent adjusted the led straps, just my 2 cents...  |

I weren't really gonna bother with just cord, & stick to high heat resistant spliced prussiks. I do have a few lazy meters of beeline though. If you want normal cord i can chuck some on the next order. I were trying to keep the range small & specialised, but people keep asking have you got this/that so the range might grow if the demand is there! | |
