For optimum comfort it is best to have the positioning rings resting forward of your hip bones, although quite frankly, this position is more important for linemen’s belts where 100% of climbing time is performed on gaffs and lanyard.

Manufacturers provide general waist fit ranges for their saddles, but don’t typically provide measurements for the hip rings or leg straps. For improved customer convenience, we’ve painstakingly measured and logged the actual ring and leg measurements of each product we sell. Take measurements fully clothed and at the specified locations, then select your next saddle based on the actual fit ranges that you’ll find listed near each saddle.

WORK POSITIONING SADDLES
Work positioning saddles certified to Europe’s stringent EN 813 and EN 358 standards are designed for work positioning and not fall arrest. These saddles, such as Sequoia, TreeMotion, Sentinel, and more, are tested as follows:
STATIC TEST: approved attach- ment points must withstand a 15 kN (3,372 lbf ) static load for 3 minutes. Actual strength is generally much higher than that required by the standard.
DYNAMIC TEST: attachment points designed to be used in pairs must withstand a 100kg 1-meter drop test; those designed to be used individually must withstand a 2-meter drop.
