New TreeFlex harness sighted...

[pigwot]

Looks like the next generation TreeFlex harness has surfaced in Germany?

New Treeflex (http://www.freeworker.de/store/klettergurte/baumklettergurte/treeflex.html)

Quite pricey too; the first generation was running an average of 195 euros ($277).
At current exchange rate the new one is $506.42

That's a hella big ring on the bridge.

Looks nice but I still like my BFII.

Cary: I saw that Treeflex over a year ago on the web, don't think it is new dude ;) just a different colour ;)


Pat: Darn Cary, you sure know how to burst a guy's dream bubble! I was so hopeful it had been updated with beefier leg straps and a better buckle design...

[Widow Shooter]

Awwww dude, I know it sucks, but You needed some tough-tree-love to snap you out of the lust ;)

[pigwot]

Treeflex harness ordered; awaiting word on final bill including shipping. The 'Gear Lust' will not be subdued (at least, not for long)
;)

[NickfromWI]

The new colors look sharp, at least!

[hmm]

I like the original blue and green. To bad the website does not give a close up of the buckles - that is the only thing that they can change that for me would be sweet - the BF11 have a nice easy on the hands buckle

Tracking number from Honey Brothers in hand... won't know the color until it gets here as I didn't ask Leon about color.
I like the original colors just fine... black's okay, too.

The question of color will be answered by this afternoon...

I am a bit excited for you. I received a new hand saw yesterday so I am happy for now. Still, never really "fixes" the need for gear. Hope you got the black one. I still have not ordered the one from in country that you sent me a link to. I am happy to hear that they still make them and we are able to buy them.

The Treeflex arrived and ... it is the same green/blue/black as before. Looks to be the standard issue.
I am very happy with it, and it has satisfied that 'need for gear' for the moment.
I am working at downsizing my kit to a minimum, so i can travel light in June.
Three states to traverse, remote sites to hike into, and the airline restrictions...

There's this big company named UPS that can help you with that problem, Patrick. :D

[pigwot]

Oh, I know about UPS and their friends Fedex and DHL.
I shipped my climbing gear out to CA in March 2010 for some climbing.
This trip I want to keep it with me as I'll be climbing as I head from WA to OR to CA.
