Hey gang,
I have been negotiating with Newtribe and at this point they have agreed to, by custom order only thus far, make an adaptable harness to custom fit the new Petzl Sidestraps to their saddle.
This is great news since the custom patch fix that I designed for them will adapt both legloops more easily and safely to the screwlinks from the sidestraps to where they don't slide or pull against any stitching. Also, they will use a different side D ring so the Sidestraps main belt will fit around the base of the side D without having to be put back through the main hole of the D, which is neater.
I'll let ya'll know more when they can return a prototype to me in order to photo it and then post it.
See my photos attached of how the Sidestraps attach now before the new adaptation.
Safe climbin.
