After almost three decades of climbing the Edelrid Tree Rex harness with their suspenders that have a bungee cord attached at the bottom for a knee ascender is the best and most comfortable saddle ever made. It’s fairly lightweight while still being very durable. It has everything you need to start doing production climbing out of the box. Their talon climbers are also the most comfortable than anything else by a mile! I love Monkeybeaver saddles, tree motion saddles and Courant’s Koala saddle, but the Edelrid gear is just so good and so well designed it’s just impossible to beat in my experience at least. Great video as usual!

Can you give any tips/input on making the Edelrid suspenders more comfortable? I find my neck having issues from the suspenders digging into and straining my neck. I’m sure I just need to dial in my system better to alleviate this issue. What knee ascender and system do you use for climbing? I use the notch fusion rope wrench with a DMM swivel which was a huge help. My knee ascender is self made from a camp chest ascender attached to a foot webbing loop. Attached to the bungee on the suspenders. Also I just attach a chest loop on the suspenders with two mini carabiners to the stif tether part of the fusion rope wrench. I’ve already broken one of those loops so I know this is an area I need to find a better solution.

Yep you can definitely tell when it’s been a while since I’ve run it. Gas has a lot of power but the convenience of switching a saw on is incredible I love my electric saw.

I see you have a Makita top handle battery saw. Is that 18v X 2? Would you recommend it?

I have the super small one that just take 1 18v battery. I love it for trimming I rarely use it for large limb removal. It’s so light, I’d love more battery saws. I’d just highly recommend converting to 1/4 pitch chaun

Hello 👋 .. interesting video .. I like your honesty .. am in the process of buying a new harness .. I'm 5'8" .. 175 pounds .. 31 waist .. my current saddle is a (mgn date 1998) .. Weaver model 1036 .. Although it was used by me allot .. I've always taken care of it .. but it is +25 years old .. Am looking at the lighter version of this one .. the EVO .. I work in double rope not SRT .. what do U recommend 🤔🤨🧐👌

I like this harness a lot, but the balance is a little weird and the ventral connection point is going to be a bit of a waste if you like to double rope. For a very similar price I would probably recommend the Courant Koala. It has a better sit balance and quick buckles for the belt, which most people seem to prefer. I know a climber that has the Evo and only double ropes and he enjoys it, so neither is the wrong option.

Based on the size you give I would recommend the S-L camp saddle size.

Very important indeed! I would say it’s between the Treemotion and the new tribe, not terrible pinch, but it happens every once in a while.
