Canyons involve a lot of sliding, scraping and general thrashing. Which ends up with a lot of scraping and thrashing of the gear and clothing upon which that sliding is done. Harnesses, shorts, wetsuits - they all get destroyed on a regular basis.

The ShuffleButt2 offers the best protection (Vinyl Laminate) where it is needed the most (Leg Loops), while maintaining the more-comfortable 1000d Air-Textured Nylon coated fabric for the upper. Bonus for me is that it is a LOT easier to sew.

For the Shuffle or Scuttle to fit on your harness, the leg loops must open all the way, so the leg loop can be threaded through the leg loop sleeve. On some harnesses, you will have to monkey with the leg loop hold up straps to get the waistbelt through the waistbelt sleeve… or just cut them off… but it is best to maintain the leg loop hold up straps.

People doing flowing water canyons prefer the ScuttleButt… People doing non-flowing canyons will likely prefer the ShuffleButt.

A TALL version is available that adds 2” to the height. This will work better for people taller than about 6’2”; and for people with fashionably bountiful butt-cheeks. These are made with wider sleeves for the waist and leg loops to make it compatible with ‘super-comfy’ harnesses like the BD Long-Haul Harness.
