Having worn out yet another harness, thanks going to Hammer for finishing it off, I am wondering what is the most abrasion resitant harness out there, as its blooming expensive buying one every 6 months.
I know partly why it wares down to the caves I visit and the fact I don't take it off through the gnarly bits. But I need something to drag the bags/hang the bags from and I would rather wear it than carry the extra weight in a bag. Also before anyone suggests a belay belt, I hate them with a passion no matter how tight you tie them up they always end up round your ankles after a while, and is far more likely to get me wedged then my snuggly fitting harness.
I have tried gaffer taping the buckles to try and reduce the dame but it wears in other places such as the attachment point that I cannot gaffer and the gaffer can wear through in one trip anyway.
So whats the best out there? I was using an MTD. Petzle seems to wear through quicker and digger was just awful.
