Perhaps there's no more central piece of a climber's equipment than the saddle / harness. If you are looking for a new one, then you've come to the right place! We feature top brands like Weaver, Petzl, Buckingham and Singing Rock. Weaver offers nice, durable harnesses that are mostly made of leather, although they have more modern synthetic options too like the Cougar Saddle.
Petzl saddles follow a similar form, being made from synthetic materials that make them very lightweight. Only quality materials, comfort-minded and highly-efficient saddles bare the Petzl name. Their Sequoia SRT is undoubtedly one of our most popular tree saddles. Keep in mind that Petzl saddles and harnesses are sized with numbers. For example, Size 1 will fit "average" body frames, while Size 2 is for bigger bodies. You might think of Size 1 as Medium and Size 2 as Large.
In addition to climbing saddles, we offer Full Body Harnesses in our Fall Protection section. While many full body harnesses aren't suitable for tree climbing, we have seen a growing number of tree climbers using tower climbing harnesses that offer hip D-Rings, seat saddles and even chest and back D-Rings. The new Petzl Avao Bod Fast Work & Rescue Harness is a great example of this trend. It offers all of the features needed for general climbing, works well in rescue scenarios and offers better protection in headlong falls.
