The sawpod has been one I have used for the past few years. It really stays secure to your leg. Mine has a zubat saw, I found that using a cable tie to attach the scabard to the saw pod helps hold it in there.

They are priced pretty reasonably, giver er a try.

X3 on the sawpod. It stays where you want it.

Sawpods are too cheaply made for my liking. Mine fell apart after a few months of use. My weaver scabbard with leg straps is still going strong.

I agree with Timberjack. My sawpod started falling apart on day one. I Think I'm going to make my own. The neoprene bone just needs to be stronger. Real simple design.

Yeah its not bulletproof but hell, there is really no gear out there an arbo can't turn out in a short ammount of time. Super comfy, extremly flexiable, stays put, the pressure is really spread out over your whole leg so no hot spots or pinchy points. Use it and abuse it, when it wears out, replace it, to me its worth a few bucks extra for the added comfort, and I don't even know its on turn the day.

Whiz shared a cool mode to make it even more solid. I haven't tried it yet but sounds like a cooll trick.
Remove the chrome zubat logo plate via 4 small screws. Place sawpod legs strap in desired position on zubat scabbard. Mark the 4 screw holes, then heat up an appropriate diameter wire, coathanger, screw driver etc and burn the 4 holes into the velcro leg strap. Then replace the chrome zubat logo plate, sandwitching the velcro strap in place and screw down. Now the scabbard will keep from loosening, and wanting to slide out of the saw pod.

For $25 sawpod cant be beat. I havent tried fitting it in place with spurs on, but for pruning, I'm absolutely in love with it. (Using it with a Zubat as well)!

Re: leg scabbard\'s

I tried a weaver leg scabbard a long time ago and found it didn't stay in place. Wanted to slide around too much. I use the sugoi set up and find no complaints.

Re: leg scabbard\'s

I agree with the saw pod. Really didn't work for me. I am back to using my homemade one!

Re: leg scabbard\'s

it has alot of strap placement option so i think ill try and experiment with different set ups. i was thinking if i dont like the stock straps, im gonna use some buckles from my old worn out saw chaps and then use some thick webbing into the buckles to make a custom on and off straps.
