Weaver Deluxe Work Suspenders with Hydration Pack

Weaver work suspenders with hydration pack clip to your climbing saddle to share the weight of a loaded saddle across your shoulders, and carry a water bladder on your back so you can drink without coming down. They are a comfort item for long days aloft, not fall protection.

Why climbers wear suspenders

A saddle loaded with a top-handle saw, handsaw, carabiners, lanyard, and rope hangs on your hips all day. Suspenders spread some of that weight onto your shoulders and keep the saddle from sliding down when you are on the ground between climbs. The hydration pack solves the other problem of summer work: you can drink while you are still tied in instead of waiting until you descend.

They are especially useful on long pruning days and big removals where you are up for hours at a time. Browse more shoulder harnesses and saddle add-ons in our saddle parts and shoulder harnesses.

What they are not for

These suspenders are not fall protection and not a chest harness. Never clip a lanyard, rope, or rigging to them. Your climbing system stays attached to the saddle's rated attachment points, as ANSI Z133 and the saddle maker require.

Adjust the straps so the saddle sits where it is designed to, not pulled up into your waist. Rinse the bladder after each use and let it dry open to keep it clean, and check the clips and webbing for wear along with the rest of your kit.

If you climb in heat, drink early and often. Heat illness creeps up on climbers who wait until lunch to rehydrate, and a crew member who is dizzy aloft is a rescue waiting to happen.
