After over a decade of using a DMM Renegade, the latest model has a failing that I'm struggling with so I might - regretfully - have to look to a different manufacturer. I will say that most of my gear (even down to thew chalk) is now DMM, and I'm disappointed to be looking elsewhere.
Whilst the current model (which I have) is fine for sport where you don't need to look at what's what, I've found the gear loops are set too far back to match the website description of the gear being "easily available". On the old harness I could see what was on the rear loops, and could reach e.g. the rear loop on the right with my left hand if the situation was a bit pressing. Normally I rack quickdraws on the rear loops, but of varying lengths. Half way up a long route it's useful to see what's what. After 10 days in Pembroke I found myself getting irritated pretty regularly.
I've mailed DMM about it but they have no options with 6 loops. 90% of their harnesses are 4 loop variants which isn't enough for trad long routes in Pembroke or wherever, so I'll need something new. Any suggestions?
