Personally i prefer the Elevation, from sherril. Compared to my old rock climbing harness its like sitting in an arm chair up in the trees. I love having all the attachment points to clip into. and the nice wide back pad make life a lil nicer.

Just my thoughts.

Are you looking for a rock climbing harness or a tree climbing harness?

The tree climbing harness will be more comfortable in both situations (extra Leg padding) "but I want something better and more comfortable for working in."mrsfalcon said.

The tree climbing harness works great in rock climbing and rapelling from rocks
( I do that once per year with the scouts) Looks like the researcher hangs along the wall for long periods of time collecting data and gathering stuff and the New Tribe Harness is definitely more comfortable. I have a rock climbing harness that I use to sleep in the trees (because it is less bulky and without loops in the back) and that is te reason why I have used both. I started originally hanging from rocks rapelling on very uncomfortable "swiss seats" we made out of webbing. Those pull and pinch you in all the wrong places. They work thou!

I bought the New Tribe Tengu Saddle. I think all of their work saddles are comfortable but I liked the adjustible leg stap and the quick release leg strap buckles. I had the chance to tour their facility and they do really nice work. I have know whereof I speak on this as I have operated a sewing shop for ten years. Their website has a handy sizing chart as well.

Hello all. Have to agree with R.Boreal about the Kolibri saddle pros and cons. I have the 3D multi-slide and it has to be the most thought out harness I have worn. I have been an arborist for 31 years and have tried and owned many different types. I also climb buildings, bridges and towers for a living as a high rigger and am an intern facilitator in Md. While the Kolibri has a few shortcomings, overall it is far more comfortable and cheaper than the Treemotion. It is a sliding D setup which is very adjustable in length. I run my bridge rather close to my body. I also did away with their D ring and simply use 2 biners in its place. I prefer the Petzl Gecko and the DMM Boa because they are colored red and green and they both have a rather wide bottom which mates up very well to the 2" wide webbing used as bridge material. My saddle also came from American arborist and I just visited them to try out the suspenders made by Kolibri. Will follow up on thoughts about them after giving them some proper break-in climbing. As a side note: Dave at Amer.arborist is great to deal with and very well versed in all the gear he carries. I also own several variations of Newtribe saddles for students and find them to be quite comfortable for a wide range of body types. Before I owned the Kolibri I wore a CMM/Yates towerclimbers harness. Nice to count on your gear when you spend your day hanging on the side of a 1000 ft. microwave tower above the clouds. Thanks for letting me add in here. Love this site and the community. Climb safe.
