I would be grateful for any advice re: harness

Sweetie - I've just amended the first post in that link to the 'ideal kit list' i did to reflect the chest harness I use now - its a marked improvement over others I've used previously for a) holding your harness UP at the back when walking,crawling about (especially when dragging a kit bag through a crawl or walking about with loads of heavy rigging gear/whatever hanging off your harness. and b) for the ease of tightening/loosening as required during a trip - and is just a quid more then the original recommendation :-)

That's brilliant.  Cheers Tim.  Really appreciate yours and everyone else's advice on this

[quote="Dylan" post=12711]I use an MTDE Picos harness from starless river and Tim uses the lightweight version but can't remember the name of that one. They use an extra strap that goes under your bum which gives you something to sit on like a bosun's chair.

It is bar far the most comfortable harness I have ever owned.[/quote]

Another vote for the Picos - when properly adjusted its like sitting in an armchair.  Seems to have a lower attachment point and (for me at least) more efficient than the Petzl Super Avanti.  My chest harness is the Alp Design Bunny from Starless which is also extremely comfortable and quick to adjust.

But like others have said, its a personal thing, so its good to try out a few if possible.

bloody good point that - something drove me to fiddle with the leg loops on my MTDE the other week and it went from being like sitting in an armchair to feeling like my balls were getting ripped off. Adjusted back and its A1 again. The point is that proper adjustment and ANY harness probably makes the world of difference.
