Teufelberger wayUP Light Climbing Pants

The Teufelberger wayUP Light is a lighter-weight climbing pant for climbers who want freedom of movement and less heat on summer jobs. It is designed to sit comfortably under a saddle through long days aloft.

Light pants for long climbs

Teufelberger is best known for climbing rope and saddles, and its climbing pants come from the same focus on how arborists move. The wayUP Light is the lighter option, aimed at summer climbing and long days aloft where a heavy canvas pant feels like a sauna.

A lighter pant gives up some abrasion resistance compared with heavy canvas, so it suits climbers who spend more time in the tree than dragging brush. Compare weights and fabrics on our tree climbing pants page.

Lighter fabric also dries faster after a morning in wet foliage, which matters when you climb through dew or a passing shower. Many climbers pair a light pant like this with a heavier canvas pair for winter or brushy removals and switch with the season.

Fit, care and limits

Try the pants with your saddle on and take a high step. They should not pull at the knee or seat, and pockets should clear your leg loops. European sizing can run differently from US waist sizes, so check the size chart.

These are work pants, not chainsaw protection. When you run a saw on the ground, wear chaps or chainsaw-protective pants as ANSI Z133 requires. Wash per the label and inspect the seams and knees as the pants age.
