My last hard seat was just the opposite, I wanted to have a hard seat that would be easier to put on at the top of my sticks. Prior to this I had to either wear the thing while climbing the sticks and this was too noisy because it clinked and clanked on each LW stick...
My next alternative was to haul it up after I got to the top of my sticks - this was MUCH better in my opinion, but I didn't like the dance I had to do at the top of my stick when trying to slip this thing over my head/shoulders. I was always afraid I would end up hanging myself.
The last thing I did was to remove the webbing and reinsert it the way it is positioned now. If I laid this out on the ground it would look like a butterfly: the base is the body, and the webbing would be the thing's wings. This enabled me to haul it up to my stand location, connect one side to my biner, then pull it around my @$$ and connect the other side.
This was all harder than it should be, because I still use a single-step climbing stick. If I had a dual-step top stick, it would be much simpler.
