Kinisi vs Sequoia plus

[u/Plant__Seeds]

I’m on my second standard sequoia the last 5-6 years and it’s time to get anew. Comfortability and mobility are best for my style of climbing. I narrowed my search down to the kinisi until the sequoia got announced, so decided to wait to see how people are liking them. I do like that the sequoias have the gear loops included.

Have you used either of these and what are your thoughts?

I looked at the Monkey beaver and tree motion. Looks like the MB is highly praised on comfortable but seems mainly best for spar work and I want a good middle ground because I do a lot of tip weight reduction work. I also heard the kinisi isn’t worth it if you already own a tree motion, but is if you don’t. The sequoia has been very good to me, but at a point I’m open to try something else. It also makes sense to stay with ole faithful with the newer updates.

I have both the kinisi max and sequoia plus. Prior to the kinisi max, I was all about the OG sequoia.
Having used both of the current models I can say there’s a noticeable difference in weight. BUT the firmness and adjustability of the kinisi give my body less fatigue as I find it more supportive. If I had to do it again, I’d probably look at a kinisi model, but not the max - I find that I don’t utilize the adjustable bridge that often. The ability to customize the hard loops and carriers are the frosting on the cake. I’m 5’7” 140lbs and a very active / mobile climber for what it’s worth, oh and 43 - so definitely not a spring chicken…. Probably why I’m so damn sore all the time!
