Favorite Saddle

[JS Landscaping]

Hey whats up everyone? Im in the market for a new saddle. Currently Climbing on a weaver saddle, although it has served me well since I have started, I am looking for something newer, maybe more comfortable. Anyone have the new Tree Motion Saddle that Sherrill Tree has for sale? Looking for some opinions on what you guys are climbing in, what you like and dont like about them. Also been looking at the Petzl saddles. Thinking about going with something with a floating D or a roller set up possible for more manuverablity. What are your opinions? Any sugestions? Im rougnly 6'2 180lbs. Thanks for your help!

sherrill glide

i bought the sherrill glide with the rope bridge and pully in front very comforatable and extremly easy to manuever in i do a lot of trimming and find it a very easy saddle to lay sideways in to work out a small branch also with seperate leg loops makes this saddle very friendly to a walk in the tree tops bought mine when they first came ought a little pricy but well worth it this is also the saddle i am wearing in the picture

I'll agree with the leg straps. But seat saddles are great-beats having to stand on your feet when you don't have to. Pinnacle man here.

i started on the pinnacle2. i am on the dragonfly2 now. now that i got the thing broken in and almost set to perfection i would recommend it to anyone and i love the seat on it. off the shelf its fine but you might find yourself making your own moves on it.

Makes a great saddle, a little heavy, but very well made. I have a versitile, and I recommend the bosuns seat. It won't slow you down a bit, but it will be more comfortable then your jewels in a vise.

I had a homemade rope saddle while young. Then I bought a Bashlin seat strap double d-ring saddle in my 20's that was a whole lot better, but still painful after a whole days climbing. I finally got a comfortable saddle about a year and a half ago: the New Tribe Work Saddle. It is very comfortable, and light, though a bit bulkier than most other saddles. I was just looking at the updated Petzl Navaho Range with padded shoulder straps and integrated Croll ascender. Seems less bulky than the New Tribe. Butterfly and Dragonfly always seemed a bit minimalist, but I have never tried them and know that some folks think highly of them.

You ever had your skin get caught in the pulley riding on the bridge? Man that hurts like crazy. I have a glide and use it form time to time and it is a comfortable saddle. I mostly climb in the butterfly II, its comfortable too.
