New Tribe Nikosi Low-Rise Arborist Saddle

Nikosi is a fully-loaded double sliding D arborist saddle. This is the Low-Rise model, with belt at the hip. If you prefer a belt that rides at the waist, see our Nikosi Classic.

Nikosi in Native American Yurok language means all around---our Nikosi saddle has TWO floating bridges for ALL AROUND motion!

NEW GENERATION, NEW FEATURES: NIKOSI LOW-RISE

Casey Jones, New Tribe's product design artist, has redefined Nikosi as a more compact saddle that retains all of the benefits of the original. The double floating bridge is still there. The large leg pads that provide famous New Tribe comfort are still there. All the tool-carrying capacity is still there. What has changed?

-- The double bridges are linked through one O ring, instead of two rings and a webbing connector.
-- The belt rides at your hip, not your waist.
-- The leg straps fit snug, the leg pads a little higher.

The result is a compact Nikosi saddle that feels like a natural part of your body.

Tree work is tough work. You need safety, utility, comfort and mobility. Nikosi is built to be your all-around best ride.
