Weaver WLC-330 Arborist Saddle

The Weaver WLC-330 arborist saddle is part of Weaver Leather's WLC line of tree climbing saddles. It suits climbers who want a straightforward, durable Weaver saddle for pruning and removals. Check Weaver's current spec sheet for exact sizing and attachment points before buying.

Where the WLC-330 fits

Weaver's WLC saddles run from basic models to fully featured ones. The WLC-330 is a working saddle for climbers who want something tough enough for spur work, bark and grit without paying for features they will not use. Side D-rings take a lanyard or flipline for positioning.

Comfort depends on how you climb. If you spend long hours sitting in the saddle, compare padding and attachment layouts in our Weaver saddles section and pick the one that fits your work.

A working saddle like the WLC-330 is also a sensible choice as a second saddle on the truck or as a first saddle for a new climber who is still learning what features matter. Whoever wears it, take time to adjust it properly before the first climb and recheck the fit after a few days of use, once the materials settle.

Fit, standards and inspection

Fit the saddle with Weaver's sizing guide. It should sit snug on the hips with the leg straps set so you hang level. Confirm which attachment points are approved for your climbing system before setting it up.

Inspect before every climb: webbing, leather, stitching, buckles and D-rings. Retire the saddle if you find cuts, heat damage, cracks or distortion. Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard, be used per the manufacturer's instructions and ANSI Z133, and be inspected before every climb. Get trained before you rely on it aloft.
