Time for a new harness and this is comfy as you like, well dangling in the shop it was! But I need it to take both my petzl ice clippers too, the tab looks like it'd be tight, anyone tried them in it?

I've got petzl and edelrid ice clippers. The Edelrid are more difficult to fit on my DMM harness, so my guess would be if it takes Edelrid, it'll take Petzl.

Yeah, Petzl ones fit no problem...

But you have to say that James, meanwhile I don't but still did so obviously my opinion is more valid!

Bias perhaps, but I don't 'have' to like it. All rather academic Toby - because I do..!

Yep, didn't mean it seriously. They are very nice harnesses, the light version, the Atmosphere, also looks very good although the Orion itself isn't particularly heavy at 400 grams.

Well since it'll take my clippers I'm gonna get it, just gotta see if my local wall's shop can get it, if not Cotswolds here I come!

My only issue with the Orion and ice clippers is that the clipper slots are set a little far back for my preferences. If the placement is ok, you won't have any issues with Petzl, Edelrid, or Black Diamond clippers.
