New Tribe tree climbing harnesses are unique amongst tree climbing harnesses. The New Tribe basic Harness is the first Harness designed expressly for recreational tree climbing. The Tengu Harness is an expansion upon the basic meant to be a light and comfortable work Harness. 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.
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.

This lightweight recreational climbing Harness provides superior comfort without any cushioning pads! This Harness is so lightweight and compact you could forget you're wearing it. Instead of cushioning pads, the Yellow Jacket is built with a diamond grid of webbing that distributes the load so effectively that you'll feel no pressure areas at all. The Yellow Jacket compresses to just a handful & is easily packed into its own bag. The heart of this Harness is made the same as all New Tribe tree climbing saddles: 5500 lb parachute webbing with permanent splices and abrasion-resistant chafe wrap protecting all the areas that take hard wear. The Yellow Jacket is loaded with practical features for serious climbing: 4 slots on the belt for attaching gear bags and tools, 4 carabiner loops, 2 gear loops, quick-release leg straps. Weighs 2 lb 12 oz.
The Tree Fox Harness is perfect for those who want to remain quiet and unseen when climbing. Great for observing wildlife, hunting, or just keeping a low profile while you climb. The Tree Fox has the same leg straps and fixed tie-in point style of the Yellow Jacket, with a galvanized steel screw link closure inside a fabric sleeve to keep it silent and invisible. The Tree Fox has sleek diamond grid webbing that distributes your weight evenly and comfortably without the extra bulk of thick padding, making the saddle lightweight and easy to pack into small spaces. 4 slots on the belt for attaching gear bags and tools, 2 soft carabiner loops, and 2 soft gear loops, plus quick-release buckles on legs. Weighs 2 lbs. 12 oz.
This “ultra-light” Harness is designed to be light and comfortable without sacrificing safety. The belt pad and leg pads on the Tengu are work-Harness 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 Harness. Harness 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.) These straps are now adjustable to accommodate a wide range of users. 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.
Big side D rings and a floating roller D on the leg strap bridge. Fixed front tie-in point that closes with a large pear screw link. The leg pads feature extended cushioning at the inner thigh for superior support and comfort. Double-density foam padding on both belt and leg straps provide support, load distribution and long wear. Quick-connect buckles on the adjustable leg straps. The belt pad is 6" wide at the back, tapering to 4” at the front. This Harness is loaded for tool carrying and built for comfort.

With the addition of side Ds to the New Tribe Kids' Basic, little climbers can now have a harness just like the big people! Great for kids who are ready to learn more advanced climbing maneuvers on rope. This saddle is one-size-fits-all for children of all ages.
The Twist adds adjustability to the safety and comfort features that New Tribe has built into their rec saddles for years. This Harness is one-size-fits-all for children of all ages. The old Basic Kids' Harness was great for kids starting at about age 5, but not so good for anyone younger or smaller than that. The maximum adjustment on the Kids' Twist overlaps the minimum adjustment on the Adults', so everybody is covered!
