Weaver WCL 390 Saddle with Batten Seat

The Weaver WCL 390 saddle is a Weaver climbing saddle with a batten seat, built for climbers who spend a lot of time sitting in the harness. The stiffened seat supports the thighs and takes pressure off the leg straps during long pruning or rigging jobs.

Built for time in the tree

A batten seat is a stiffened panel that sits under your thighs. When you lean back to make a cut or set a rigging point, you sit into the seat instead of hanging on two narrow leg straps. Over a long day that difference shows up in your legs and lower back.

The WCL 390 keeps the familiar Weaver layout with side D-rings for your flipline and climbing system, and loops around the belt for carrying a handsaw, slings, and carabiners.

Seat saddles shine on cabling and bracing jobs, crown cleaning, and rigging work where you stay in one spot for a long time. On short removal climbs the seat matters less, but many climbers still like having it.

Sizing and inspection

Measure your waist in the clothes you climb in and check Weaver's sizing chart. Adjust so the seat sits under the thighs and the belt rides at the hips. Compare it with the other Weaver saddles to find the belt and seat style you like.

Inspect webbing, stitching, buckles, and D-rings before every climb, and retire the saddle if you find cuts, heavy wear, or damaged hardware. Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard (ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions), be inspected before every climb, and be used only by trained climbers.
