We bought 8 x new SuperAvanti and 2 x Aven. The tape is now orange rather than red. It feels thinner and slicker than previously.
On my own new SuperAvanti the leg loop came completely undone half way up a 32 metre pitch.
The following weekend it got a lot looser but I noticed and tightened it.
The tape is so much thinner than previously on these new orange harnesses that after you have correctly doubled it back, it can easier be fitted into the buckle a THIRD time.
Then with the new work superavantis we had several clients where the tape loosened, and in one case came completely undone.
We also had a client where on the main belt buckle, the anti-abrasion strap stayed in place but the actual belt loosened - terrifying.
I forwarded this the the Petzl UK Rep Naomi Taylor
ntaylor@petzl.co.uk who said she had not heard of this anywhere else.
So, if anyone else has experienced this it would be great if you could contact Naomi directly so there is a body of evidence.
