the ideal all round harness

Advantages: comfortable, flexible and light
Disadvantages: twists easily

...I have used the Corax for years now. it was my first harness and there has never been a need to replace it. a testament to its durability. in terms of comfort the corax is well designed. cushioned on the inside of the waist and leg loops to allow the climber to sit back in the harness for longer periods of time than cheaper harness that lack the padding. this is a great advantage when climbing longer routes, after a few hours on the rock you can easily forget that you're wearing it. further more, the padding is very flexible so it does not hinder movement on the rock. if it couldn't get more comfortable, the padding is designed to be breathable, stop those sweat patches building up on those summer days on the crags! even better, despite the extra padding the weight is still low (510g). the harness is completely adjustable...

Review of Petzl Corax Harness

Not so safe Clippasafe harness

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Poor design, breaks easily

...I was going to put off buying a harness and rein set till I was in town and could have a real look around as to what was on offer. However as it happened my mother-in-law picked us up a high chair, you know the type the one with the chair and table. As it was it was missing any sort of harness to help keep a child safe whist feeding or shall I say feeding the floor. As it only cost £5 for the high chair I wasn't too unhappy but I would have preferred to find one myself that had all its parts. So it was off to our local chemist to see if they had any baby harnesses and reins in stock. The only one the did was your basic standard harness and rein for the price of £5.99 (I remember when these were much cheaper and better made). I thought the price was a little on the steep side but has it was for safety reason for my purchase, I...

Plas Equestrian starter harness great first harness, machine wash

Advantages: adjustability of the roko buckles and the machine wash
Disadvantages: Blinkers are a bit square and stiff

...I have this harness for my Shetland pony and find it excellent it really molds to her body shape and i think she finds it comfortable and a good fit, she goes very well in it. The roko fully adjustable buckles mean you can get the fit just right. The only down side i would say is the bridle as the blinkers are a bit stiff and you cannot mould them to fit around the eye. I use a traditional bridle with this harness but the plas equestrian bridle would be ok to start off with with pre driving training. The machine wash is what drew me to this, you can literally just chuck it in the wash and bung it on the line to dry, brilliant time saver - it washes well. All round good reasonably priced harness for training and pleasure driving....

Review of Plas Equestrian Starter Harness

A good all-round harness

Advantages: Very Comfortable
Disadvantages: Non-Adjustable harness may feel different to a normal harness

...I brought this harness after looking at a number of different harnesses both online and offline, mainly becuase of the price. The Ziplock's buckle means that you no longer have to double buckle, which makes putting on the harness easier. I found that these buckles were also eaiser to tighten and loosen, and fitted a good range of sizes. The elasticated leg loops can be slightly unnerving, as you cannot tighten them yourself, however I felt that they we're still secure and made for a more comfortable climb, especially when wearing the harness for a long time. The Adjustable version of the Matrix harness includes a leg loop buckle for those who would prefer one. I found plenty of gear space was available, and these are very comfortable harnesses. I felt secure and have no problems wearing these for long periods of time. These...

Burn the product not the dog

Advantages: Stops the dog from pulling
Disadvantages: Stops the dog from pulling by burning it

...I was scrolling through the pet section, which has got to be my favourite, when low and behold I came across the Lupi mentioned. Now this was probably a bad idea to put it in an opinion page, especially when I'm now on the page. Sorry guys, as you have probably already noticed by my writing so far, I am not a fan of this product and I'm going to give it a really good slating. As mentioned previously, I have both worked in two different pet shops and also in an animal shelter. During in my time working with animals and advising on various products and method of keeping them, I have come across a few types of harnesses. The Lupi being the worst one ever. For those who do not know what a Lupi is, it is a brand of dog harness which is designed mainly for the small terrier types. It is made from a cord style of nylon as opposed...

Review of Lupi Harness

The Lupi works very well. Simple, easy to use, effective.

Advantages: Helps the dog to correct himself.
Disadvantages: Can possibly slip out of it.

..., but the lupi is designed to only tighten up when the dogs pull, so he figured this out quickly (when he was pulling with just the collar and leash, I was very concerned about him damaging his throat, because he would pull so much he would choke! I think a bit of red under the arms is better than a damaged throat!) As I said, it worked well, right away. He walks beside me and corrects himself when he feels the lupi working. I know that a regular harness would not work for my dog as he would just pull against it. The lupi deters him. His arms are just fine now, there is absolutely no redness. The one thing that I would say you need to be careful of is that your dog doesn't slip out of it when it is excited! My dog did this once when we met another dog. I was holding him but he managed to back out of it ( this was one...

Review of Lupi Harness

Ban Safety Harnesses!

Advantages: It's not alcohol or a safety harness.
Disadvantages: There's a few swear words - sorry.

...2002) Or outdoor swimming pools? (800). Let's ban hobbies and other leisure pursuits. According to Government statistics, in 2002, over 1.2 million of us were either injured or killed while pursuing a hobby. Oh. My. God. Why haven't we heard about this? Why aren't the papers reporting this kind of thing? There's a serious danger here. We've got to ban ALL hobbies because it's obviously dangerous. Cross-stitching? Ah, you see, look at those sharp points. You're bound to stick it in your eye or even worse, stab someone else so that's banned. Golf? Are you serious? That's got to be like, one of the most dangerous sports in the world. That hard ball whizzing around at them speeds. Nope, sorry, that's got to go. Get this: In 2002, there were 492 accidents involving *safety harnesses*. How mad is that? A harness, designed to provide safety, is...

Review of Should cannabis be legalised?

Har, Har, shopping on the smugglers coast!

Advantages: good shops, nice atmosphere, CHEAP!!!
Disadvantages: None

...kids parties here ? I saw a family carrying a birthday cake in!) There is a charge to use this area too. Just outside is a ?Sky Bounce Trampoline? where you put a harness on and bounce! I think this was £4 to use (which I didn?t!) Be aware though, Atlantis is sometimes shut in the winter months, best ring ahead to check. ** Parking and Access ** There are 2 very large car parks, with space for over 800 cars. There is also a coach park. There are a lot of disabled spaces right next to the building. The next rows back from the disabled spaces are parent and child spaces, both of these areas seem to have extra wide parking bays. There is public transport, as I have seen several local busses stop there, although as I drive I couldn?t say where the busses come from, what I will say is that the ones I have seen always seem to...

Review of Atlantic Village

Effective, easy to put on, good value

Advantages: No pulling, no collar pulling hurting neck, easy to put on, good value
Disadvantages: None as far as I can see

...alongside you as if they have no lead or harness on, and they do it well. The rope burns issue mentioned by a previous reviewer, seems a red herring, as these harnesses are pretty loose anyway and unless you have the wrong size (too small) rope burns are not going to happen. Make sure you order the right size (only 3 to choose from s, m, l) if you hit the sellers website it tells you the right size for your dog. Just to mention the other, other reviewer so far, is NOT reviewing the Lupi but another product (Walkezee). As the Lupi does not have a padded chest (it does not need one as the dog will not pull). And it only has 3 sizes which cover all dogs because it is designed to be fairly loose on the dog, not the numerous sizes quoted for the Walkezee. Also the price is between £6-10 NOT the prices quoted by the other, other reviewer...

Review of Lupi Harness

Didnt like it

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: uncomfortable, kept loosening, not nice

...I found this product was difficult to use and not child friendly. It looked extremely uncomfortable on my child and I felt like I was restraining him like he was a prisoner. The straps seemed to loosen too and didnt remain set at where I wanted them which in essence made the product very uncomforatable and impossible to use. I use other reins on my son which I find more child friendly, they are the harness buddies. The harness buddy is a soft toy/pack pack which has a tail for the parent to hold on to. the child owns the toy and therefore are less likely to resist putting reins on, whats more it doesnt look like yo are taking your dog for a walk and your child remains safe with you have a look at http://www.kiddycat.co.uk - harnesses Kim...
