Teufelberger treeMOTION Replacement Leg Strap Kit (CE)

This treeMOTION replacement leg strap kit supplies new leg loops for the CE version of Teufelberger's climbing saddle. Leg loops take a beating from spurs, sap, and grit, and swapping them is often cheaper than retiring a saddle whose bridge, board, and waist belt are still in good shape.

Why replace leg straps instead of the saddle

On a treeMOTION the leg loops see more wear than almost any other part. They rub on spur straps, take every sit-back in the work position, and pick up pitch and sand that grind at the webbing and padding. Once they are frayed, stiff, or flattened out, the saddle starts to feel wrong long before the bridge or the waist belt is done.

A factory leg strap kit lets you bring the saddle back to spec without buying a new one. Check that you have the CE version of the treeMOTION before you order; Teufelberger has made several generations, and parts are not always interchangeable. Other wear parts are in our saddle parts and shoulder harnesses section.

Fitting and inspection

Follow Teufelberger's instructions for removing the old loops and installing the new ones, and have a competent person check the work if you are unsure. Life-support gear has to be assembled exactly as the maker intended and must meet ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's requirements.

While the saddle is apart, inspect everything else: the bridge, the connecting hardware, the waist belt stitching, and the attachment points. Look for cuts, abrasion, glazing, chemical stains, and worn or distorted metal. Replace anything questionable, and keep a record of the date and what was changed.
