I'm looking for a fall arrest harness like PETZL Avao Bod, or the old Navaho bod, but with a third FAST buckle, at the belt. Kinda like Petzl Sequoia, but with a top.
I know I can add a top to the Sequoia SRT - but that one lacks the belt FAST buckle, so... does anyone know of an alternative, or my only option is modding?
Thanks!
 
The sequoia, like all tree saddles, are work positioning harnesses, not fall arrest harnesses, big differencee in form amd function. What are you looking to use it for?

I'm not a native English speaker, obviously :) By fall arrest I meant a work harness with a top, not just a saddle.
I'm looking for a work positioning harness, with a top, that I would not dirty with my shoes when putting on (or getting into).

As far as I know the Sequoia has 3 fast buckles (Waist, Legs). The Sequoia SRT has 2 (Legs only). I do not know if you can add a top to the regular Sequoia.....
 
Hmm

I was looking on the Petzl site. This looks like a nice fall arrest harness on the link. I hate to think what it costs....Especially in Europe.

Strangely Petzl harnesses here in Norway are lower priced than in the US. The Sequoia is $400 or so in the US and it is just over $300 here..

It might be the only thing I have found cheaper...

AVAO harnesses: comfort in any situation | Petzl
 
The Avao is the replacement of Navaho, which would be retired soon.
Too bad it doesn't have a FAST buckle at the waist. Is there a reglementation against the type of harness that I'm looking for? (fast buckles at each feet and waist, with a top).
 
rock climbing with an arborist harness

Anyone cares to comment on the possible disadvantages of rock/industrial climbing with a Sequoia harness? With or without a top.
 
Got myself a Navaho Bod Fast (fast buckles on leg loops). I like the build quality and hopefully will learn to live without the waist buckle -- at least until I find a spare (from an old harness, because Petzl does not sell such parts that normally are not user-replaceable).
