Okay, so I'm test-flying one , but dayum...this thing is like the Frankenstein monster compared to my sweet, tight little Sequoia

any tips on setting it up? I'm 5' 8" about 170.

It is real stiff and unwieldy right now lol

tips and pics of where you ride it would help a lot.

thanks,
Cary

Hey cary,
You want to loosen up the bungee cords in the back that are connected to the leg straps and back brace. This will allow the leg straps to hang a little lower so it’s not crunching your goods. You also want to adjust the webbing on the legs so that it falls a little lower and again so it isn’t crunching your goods. I also shortened the bridge length so that when I’m sitting the connections aren’t hanging in my face. It takes a little setting up but that's the beauty of the saddle that you can customize it to your own body. Most of the time when I go climbing with my wife I will put her in the T motion and I will climb my old weaver. I was impressed as to how small I could adjust the waist to fit her.
Awesome choice, when you set it up I think you will be happy

Thanks Ian, I carry some extra weight up top from my powerlifting years, so trying to find a good COG is tough

Seeing your pics on FB, looks like you have the same prob lol

I'll try the tips out.

I will say the leg loops that don't undo like the Sequoia's is a PIA

Here is a video my cousin and I made about the treeMotion saddle. We plan on making a lot of videos about various tree gear...but this is how mine is set up. Also some of the stuff I say in the video might not make sense...but I knew what I was saying

Anyways here it is.

Ha ha. Ya the picture of me and my bro are from my peek in lifting. Defiantly not push that kind of weight around anymore. But I have a well balance routine now that doesn’t compromise my climbing. So ya you want to find that sweet spot where the leg loops aren’t to low but aren’t to high either. Let us know how you set it up.

cool vid casey

 

[GibsonTreeCare]

yep, I watched it before Casey, well done, I'm hoping to do an in-tree review after it is set up.

Thanks a lot guys. Well for fitting just get it to the hips and have it snugged up there. Then put the leg straps where they feel comfortable. I really think it is a feel thing when it comes to the saddle.

I like to wear mine below the hips.

well after all the tips I got here and other places, and from Scotty, I got it dialed in I think, 1 more climb and I'll know for sure, but as of now, yeah, I know what all the hype is about
