Suspenders/SRT ?

macrocarpa · May 10, 2021

I'm looking at these 2 options for suspenders on my ONYX. I have been using pfanner gladiators but the elastic straps aren't good for SRT.

Any suggestions?

Thanks to the padded shoulder straps, the harness evens the load distribution over the<br />shoulders.

Is the onyx a 3 or 4 point connection? I really liked Camp’s new suspenders (3 point), but haven’t tried the ones you listed.

I think there are both options with some minor fabricating. Ill look into camps, thanks!

Monkey beaver for sure...you won't regret it. They make monkey beaver for treemo aswell. Just got a pair there amazing . Yes they are a bit expensive but I think there worth every cent. There comfortable easy to setup.

August said the onyx takes the treemotion suspenders.

I vote for the MB as well. Once you have the straps adjusted to the sweet spot they make all the difference in the world! I have been through 4 or 5 other lesser sets and these just work!

Oh ok. I must have misunderstood what I was reading on the site. That's cool. I wonder if the 3 point and 4 point are interchangeable between a treemotion and a monkey beaver.?

Pretty sure You’re right that the Monkey beaver is a hybrid with the Onyx but the suspender attachments must’ve been one of the changes?

I ordered the monkey beaver 3 point attachment suspenders this morning!

Oh alright..yeah that's what I have for my treemotion. There really nice. Like what @39Buick said once you get them to that sweet spot. Man there amazing. I'll never get anything other than these suspenders.

I attached a basic set of tool belt suspenders to my rig and haven't found it all around my knees ever since.

Yeah I had the weaver deluxe and was about to rig it up to my treemotion but then came across the monkey beaver ones and I couldn't help myself bought them and I had them in 3 days. Took literally 2 mins to setup. Im set with these I don't need to try anything else out. But hey if it works it works.

Wondering what the little buckles on the rear of your onyx were for? They are pretty close to the location the MB saddle's d-rings for attachment of suspenders are located.

? not sure. Seems like it would take 3 or 4 point suspenders.

Looks like the Monkey Beaver 3 point will just girth hitch on that center ring.

Just a follow up on this post....

I bought both the Monkey Beaver and the Husqvarna suspenders and decided whichever one I liked least would go on the saddle I use for pitchy conifer work. Husqvarna is on the old saddle. Monkey Beaver is on my Onyx which makes it even more like wearing a pillow
