New Tribe Climbing Saddles
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.
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.

Nikosi Arborist Saddle by New Tribe
Looking for a professional tree climbing work harness with unparalleled comfort? The Nikosi is for you!
The Nikosi is the world’s first dual floating bridge saddle. The unique double bridge design provides maximum freedom of movement by allowing the waist belt and the leg loops to move independently of each other. While wearing the Nikosi, a climber's mobility will be limited only by his/her flexibility and not the saddle.
The Nikosi is built for maximum comfort, featuring the largest leg pads ever seen on an arborist saddle. Say goodbye to numb feet or tingly toes - these extra large leg pads will keep you comfy even when hanging on your rope for long periods. Even with all the padding, the Nikosi weighs in at under 5 pounds. The saddle is fully loaded with double bar D rings on each hip that will not fold backward and a rated belay loop in the rear.
Your new Nikosi can be upgraded with several add-on accessories, including climb buckets and bandoleer suspenders (see page bottom.)

New Tribe Yellow Jacket Saddle
This lightweight recreational climbing saddle provides superior comfort without any cushioning pads! This saddle 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 saddle 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.
New Tribe Tengu Saddle
This “ultra-light” 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.
New Tribe Progear II Saddle
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 saddle is loaded for tool carrying and built for comfort.
New Tribe Basic Saddle
This is the first tree saddle designed expressly for recreational use, combining light weight and comfort unlike any other harness. Strong, abrasion-resistant nylon, 4” wide closed-cell foam padding, 5500 lb parachute webbing, a quick snap hook and three rolled aluminum accessory rings keep the weight down to two pounds. The belt design includes two slots where you can mount bags, buckets or tools.
This is a leg strap type saddle with a sliding D on the bridge in front for freedom of movement. The large teardrop leg pads make it comfortable to hang in. You can't slip out of it in any position, even upside down. Weighs 2 lb.
New Tribe Twist Saddle New in 2012!
Updated version of New Tribe's Basic rec climbing saddle with adjustability. One size fits SM-LG users up to 225 lbs., making this the perfect choice for rec climbing groups, adventure climbing hosts, etc. One snap hook, two carabiner loops, accessory ring, and two slots for gear bags and carabiners provide plenty of places to carry gear. The large teardrop leg pads make it comfortable to hang in. A great choice for recreational climbers! Weighs 2 lbs.
One size fits SM-LG users up to 225 lbs. XL also available.
New Tribe Work Suspenders
New Tribe's work suspender is a different way to support the additional weight of saws and tools carried on the saddle. This sash-style single suspender for use on the Pro Gear II or Nikosi goes over 1 shoulder, is adjustability for a snug and slack-free fit, and padded. 2 can be worn for an x-style suspender set for even more support.
New Tribe Kids' Basic Saddle
Nearly everyone remembers scrambling up trees as a kid. The New Tribe Kids Saddle is serious safety equipment, built to the same professional standards as adult models. This is the Basic Saddle, scaled down to kid size and without the rear aluminum ring and side snap hook. Ages 5 and up. Fits waist to 26”, upper thigh to 19”.
New Tribe Kids' Twist Saddle New in 2012!
The Twist adds adjustability to the safety and comfort features that New Tribe has built into their rec saddles for years. This saddle is one-size-fits-all for children of all ages. The old Basic Kids' Saddle 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 everbody is covered!
