I have read every thread and discussion relating to the tree motion and think it would be a great saddle for myself. However, was looking for input on fit. I'm 6' and 150lbs, so very wiry. How does the treeMOTION fit a skinny dude? I'm worried it will sag too much while slinging bigs saws... any help is appreciated, ready to pull the trigger, just having a few doubts before dropping the big half-G. ALohas!
 
I let a guy I work with that's about 5' & 120lb or so try it out a few days ago & he only had good things to say about it. He has problems finding sadles small enough for him that don't suck. It's the most versital & comfortable sadle I have ever used.
 
im a 28 in waist and have had great success with the tree motion. I "sag" the saddle a bit which distributes my weight a bit lower and stays off of my back. To be honest though I do not usually have big saws on my belt.
 
I'm surprised at what I'm hearing from all of you supposedly skinny people. I'm skinny, a proper 30" waist and twiggy. I love my treemotion in the smallest setting and for the most part it's all good, but I have had it slide up to my chest more often than I would like, especially during those stretched-out-twisting-gotta-reach-that-last-little-twig-maneuvers. It is advertised as for people 32" waist and up and I think that is accurate. I'm not trading mine in, but next time, if they don't make a smaller size, I will probably be looking at a different saddle.

However, 6' & 150 lbs? That ain't skinny in my book and I bet the treemotion would fit nicely.

Thanks for the replies guys! Sounds like it should live up to the hype and be a great addition to my gear bag. Alright good predator, maybe not skinny, but certainly wiry/lanky!
 
Just got a used treemotion out of a trade and the thing is amazing. Really comfortable. I did notice it moves a little more than the sequoia when hanging saws off the back. But then again, I'm going to have to keep making adjustments to find the right fit. It's a really comfortable saddle.

Right on Jon, stoked to get mine ordered up! We will have to hook up sometime eventually when i'm on the islands. Was over for xmas, but more a play trip than work. Although, did a big money pod trim for some friends and an african tulip and kukui for my dad
