Petzl Sequoia Climbing Harness

The Petzl Sequoia is a tree care harness built for comfort and support during long work-positioning days. The Sequoia harness uses a wide waist belt, supportive leg loops and a bridge that lets your system move as you turn.

Why climbers choose the Sequoia

The Petzl Sequoia has been a popular tree climbing harness for years because it is comfortable when you hang in it and stable when you work. The waist belt spreads load, the leg loops support you on long hangs, and the bridge lets your friction system follow you as you turn.

It suits climbers who do a mix of pruning and removals and want one saddle for everything. The SRT version adds a chest harness and rope clamp setup for stationary rope ascent.

The Sequoia also carries a full rack well, with gear loops and tool holders that keep saws, carabiners and slings organized. That matters on removals, where you might carry a top-handle saw, a handsaw and a rigging kit at the same time.

Fit and safety

Use Petzl's size chart and adjust the harness with your climbing clothes on. Hang test before climbing and inspect the bridge, webbing and buckles before every climb. Compare other options in our European saddles section.

A saddle is life-support equipment: buy one that meets the applicable standard, follow the manufacturer's instructions and ANSI Z133, inspect it before every climb and retire it when wear reaches the maker's limits. Get trained before you climb on any new system.

Spend time adjusting the leg loops and waist so the bridge sits at the right height. A good fit makes the harness feel lighter and keeps your friction system where you can reach it.
