Has anyone on here got or tried the monkey beaver harness? Lots of good reports on youtube from August hunickes buddies! ? but I'd like to hear from someone impartial. Can you even get it in the UK?

Had one for about a year now, possibly a bit longer and really like it, very adjustable and can be easily set how you like it, I added a set of stine sholder straps for when I'm hanging a bigger saw off the back to keep it in place as don't like it too tight, the big leg straps are very comfy and not being to cluttered with gear loops suits me as well.

I got one recently. Nice harness, very comfortable and easy to adjust. Very similar in feel to a tree motion, not much difference weight wise, less gear storage options. You have to buy direct from monkeybeaver.com now. They will send to the UK I believe.

Blimey I’m surprised that it feels similar to a Tree Motion. (I’m assuming you’ve gone from the TM to the MB ?)
It doesn’t look like the Monkey has the lower attachment points like the Tree Motion has , or has my boz eyed squint missed summink ?

Leg loops look a bit hot . How do you find them ?

You can use the paws that the bridge go's through as lower attachments if you turn them, I'll try remember to take a picture tomorrow or watch the latest vide from August and you will see Jo use them like that.
Some similarly to to the tm on the way it sits you and spreads the pressure between legs and back but I find it more comfy than my last tm which was my 3rd. Leg loops are fine as I don't have them too tight and use the smaller straps to keep them in place when my weight is out of them.
Got my one direct from new tribe but I believe they now use afore mentioned website.

I have used a MB on and off for over a year, and I have to agree that it feels very similar to the TreeMo. I find my TreeMo light to be slightly more comfy, but the MB to offer a little more support, particularly when hanging a larger saw. YMMV.  Both are world-class saddles and the differences are very small.

Yeh it has the riggings paws if you like the lower d style, I dont. Agree with grey git on the rest. 

Im in western Canada, so spend the vast majority of time just on a flip line/ side dees. Its a better saddle than the tm for this, which I was in for 6 yrs. Maybe not as good a pruning/ swinging about saddle?
