We asked "How comfortable can we make it?" and "How light can we make it?" and came up with the New Tribe line of tree climber's saddles. Every New Tribe Saddle combines light weight with comfort to make safe, pleasant tree climbing an experience that's available to everyone.

Listed first in this category is our line of basic ultra-light New Tribe Saddles including the BASIC, BASIC WITH SIDE Ds, and our KIDS SADDLE. These are the lightest and simplest designs we make.

Working climbers who have discovered the lightweight comfort of the basic New Tribe Saddles asked us for beefier versions that could stand up to daily heavy use by arborists, cone harvesters, canopy researchers, and tree climbing instructors and guides. They got their wish with our TENGU, VI SPECIAL, PROGEAR, and WORK SADDLE. These models bring all the benefits of lightweight comfort to the world of serious professional climbing. And 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.

If the saddle of your dreams is a bit different than our standard models, check out the selection of SADDLE VARIATIONS offered below. We can build your custom saddle to order.

And don't miss the assortment of buckets and bags we make that attach to your saddle for carrying cargo into the treetops. Scroll down here, or click here to see them.
