Weaver Deluxe Work Suspenders

Weaver Deluxe Work Suspenders clip to a climbing saddle and share the weight of saws, carabiners and lanyards across your shoulders. This is the plain version without the hydration pack, for climbers who want the support and nothing extra on their back.

Why suspenders help on long days

A saddle loaded with a top-handle saw, a hand saw, a lanyard, spare carabiners and a few slings pulls hard on your hips, and that weight sags the saddle down your legs as the day goes on. Suspenders lift the saddle back into place and put part of the load on your shoulders, which most climbers notice by the third tree.

This is the plain deluxe suspender. Weaver also sells a version with a hydration pack built in, so make sure you have the one you want. Other shoulder harness options are in our saddle parts and shoulder harnesses.

Fit and care

Adjust the straps so the saddle sits where it normally rides with the suspenders slack-free but not pulling the waist belt up. Route them clear of your bridge, lanyard and tie-in points so they never interfere with anything that carries load.

They are not fall protection and must never be clipped into as an attachment point. Check the clips and stitching when you inspect the saddle, and wash them by hand when they get stiff with sweat and sap.

If you climb in heat, pair them with a separate hydration bladder or bottle so you are not coming down every hour to drink. Some climbers also hang a light radio or phone pouch from the straps, as long as nothing crosses the load-bearing parts of the saddle.
