Teufelberger treeMOTION Gear Loop Assembly

The Teufelberger treeMOTION gear loop assembly replaces a worn or damaged gear loop on a treeMOTION saddle. Gear loops take a beating from carabiners, saws, and branches, and swapping one out is cheaper than retiring a good saddle.

Keeping your saddle organized

Gear loops hold your carabiners, prusiks, hand saw, and spare hardware where you can reach them. When one gets cut, frayed, or cracked, gear ends up hanging in the wrong place or falling out of the tree. This assembly lets you restore the loop on a treeMOTION without sending the saddle away.

There have been several treeMOTION versions, so confirm the assembly fits yours before ordering. More replacement parts are in saddle parts and shoulder harnesses.

Gear loops are not tie-in points

Gear loops are for storage only. Never clip a lanyard, climbing system, or rigging into one. Load only what the manufacturer allows, and keep heavy items like a saw on a hook or attachment made for that weight.

Fit the new assembly before your next climb rather than making do with a damaged loop. A loop that tears under a load of carabiners can drop gear on the people below. It is a small part, but it decides where your hardware rides all day, so it is worth keeping right. Order a spare if you run more than one treeMOTION on the crew.

Fit the part as Teufelberger instructs, and inspect it with the rest of your saddle before every climb. Life-support gear must meet ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions, and climbers should be trained.
