New Tribe tree climbing saddles are unique amongst tree climbing harnesses. The New Tribe basic saddle is the first saddle designed expressly for recreational tree climbing. The Tengu saddle is an expansion upon the basic meant to be a light and comfortable work saddle. Both have lightweight, comfortable design, and are designed to make tree climbing accessible to all.
New Tribe saddles are carefully built for life-safety performance. They have been tested and meet ANSI A10.14-1991 standard, Class I harness for fall arrest/restraint, and Class II work positioning.
Tengu saddles are beefier versions that can stand up to daily heavy use by arborists, cone harvesters, canopy researchers, and tree climbing instructors and guides. The Tengu brings all the benefits of lightweight comfort to the world of serious professional climbing.
Progear saddles are simple and practical work saddles which feature big side d rings and a sliding dee on the leg strap bridge.
Kid's Tree Saddles are comfortable and safe, and great for teaching the next generation of tree climbers.
New Tribe saddles are made in the U.S.A., and are made to last. You don't have to be a pro to appreciate these ultimate saddles -- they are great for anyone doing a lot of hang time on a rope, whatever the reason.
New Tribe Tree Saddle Sizing
This "ultralight" work saddle is designed to be light and comfortable without sacrificing safety. The belt pad and leg pads on the Tengu are work-saddle shape and provide great support without restricting movement. The side D rings on the belt and the sliding D ring on the leg strap bridge are "soft" Ds that trim the weight, yet retain the strength of the saddle. Saddle includes three soft gear loops, one on each side and one at the back, a carabiner loop behind each side gear loop, soft side Ds, two gaps on the belt webbing that can carry additional carabiners.
The leg straps have quick-release buckles, two accessory loops, one on each leg strap, (these little loops keep whatever you put there within easy reach.) The soft floating D on the leg strap bridge glides smoothly when you shift from one side to the other. If you place the apex of your Delta Screw Link into the floating D it grabs the Delta tighter to prevent it from rotating as you climb.
