Once upon a time I had the original Latitude method and it was very comfortable for me. Like an idiot, I sold it. Recently bought a method 2 figuring it could only be better. I’m not getting the same comfort out of it. I’m not sure what is different dimension wise it just doesn’t feel the same.

Anybody know what changed other than the magnets holding the two sections together? There has to be something else.

I believe it got a little larger, other than that I can’t recall.

I noticed the same thing. Luckily I kept my original method and have done multiple sits and alternated saddles several days in a row to make sure it wasn’t just a first impression or something that I was doing differently. The gen 2 is stiffer webbing and seems to be causing hot spots that I don’t get with the original.

That’s good to know. It’s not just me.
