Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I've got one. Can take a photo on mobile but unsure how to load it up onto computer though. What you looking for in the harness. Its definitely comfy/easy to use?

Batman123, a pic would be great thanks - especially if you can email it to me via my website link in my signature. The harness on the old Tracker was shoite so I never used it. Looking for something flatter & centrally mounted.

Couple of photos sent, not the best quality but hope they help. If not can try and get someone with a camera to take another and send it over? Not had hige experience with transceivers but this was the easiest to use of the ones I've tried (never tried the Mammut one though) and pretty comfy to wear

The Tracker 2 "quick start guide" and the "English owners manual" both have diagrams showing the harness. See http://www.backcountryaccess.com/english/research/manuals.php

spyderjon, did you know the old tracker fits in its harness better if you put it in the other way round.

Got a few in stock and had a little play with them, they seem to be a hell of alot more accurate than the tracker I have! Nice that it is a little lighter and not as bulky and and also I prefer how you access the search mode on it. It looks a good upgrade to me Happy Shame I only bought my tracker last year... I will be insisting my mates get them though (so they can find me quicker Very Happy )

I used the tracker 2 this season and have to say the holster is very good, however the harness took a little bit of adjusting to get it to fit right. If you adjust it to your needs you can get it more central!

In terms of search we found it no better or easier than the Ortovox D3 and in the final metre or two search we found the d3 quicker, we know this should not be the case.

DB, good info that, thanks. My selection criteria is very simple in that I need over a +2 correction on my reading glasses so I need to be able to clearly read the display ithout my specs. A black display is also a problem for me. So far the original Tracker was the best for that but the new 'un seems to be even better in that respect plus it has the additional features - & a decent harness would close the deal for me.

spyderjon,
I can see what you mean pardon the pun!

I use + 2 reading glass the display on the tracker 2 is fine I had no problems without my glasses the harness is pretty good and the pouch is of a very good quality and fit.

I used a Freerider pack this season and that has a very large waist band, the harness has enough adjustment in it to get the transceiver into the correct position for comfort.

hope the above helps

livetoski, thanks. Yep, that's been my issue with the original Tracker harness in that I couldn't get it in to a comfortable position whilst avoiding my pack's straps or leaving me prone to a busted rib in a heavy fall.

I wear my Tracker 1 above my left hip and slightly to the front, using the harness. So far not had a problem with it in falls.

spyderjon, I also used Tracker 2 at Easter. The harness adjusts easily and the Tracker can be worn centrally and avoid the straps on my pack. I use BCA Stash pack.
