Sporting a design that is different from typical harnesses, the Buckingham Deluxe Traverse Saddle has plenty of advantages over them. It uses a split tail system for more comfort and better positioning.
Taking advantage of this system, there are two sliding dee rings on the durable Nybuck webbing bridge that allow lateral movement of up to 16 inches. Although strong enough to take heavy loads, the bridge is light and compact, allowing an easier movement for the dee rings. This is adjusted at the front of the waist belt and on each leg strap.
The saddle’s 4-inch wide seat sling has a stiff batten to keep it stable. It is retained and supported by padded straps attached to the back of the waist belt. These, of course, can be adjusted for your maximum comfort. Quick-connect leg buckles also help keep the seat in place, while also allowing you to easily detach it if needed while on the ground.
The waist belt is made of an 8-inch wide nylon laminate, providing you with sufficient support for your back. Its extra padding makes it comfortable to wear even when it is weighed down by tools and equipment attached to it. And to help you keep dry, it is fitted with Drilex lining that wicks sweat and moisture away from your body.
Closed by a grommeted tongue buckle, you assured that the belt will keep the harness securely in place. It is equipped with two accessory loops and clips on each side and an additional three loops at the back so you can carry hands-free as much equipment as you need while you climb.
The Buckingham Deluxe Traverse Saddle comes in four sizes –small for waist sizes from 28 – 32″, medium for 32 – 36″, large for 36 – 40″, and extra large for 40 – 44″.
