It does not contain the swing seat like the evo but those leg straps look a lot bigger and better shaped than the OG aerohunter to me… but without getting my hands on one I won’t know for sure…. I’ll probably pick one up to add to my collection at some point.
I'm curious how the comfort on that will be. I'm intrigued though because of my bony butt. I'm skinny and even long car rides in a nice padded seat gets uncomfortable for me after a few hours.
I'm probably going to get one, but obviously want to see more. I really like my Kestrel and have always been impressed with the AH quality. I also SRT most of the time, so I think it may be a good fit for my style.
I just hope it’s more old school aerohunter and less of the new (last two saddles).. I’ve never had a poorly built aerohunter saddle but the newer ones Merlin and shrike weren’t in my opinion, nearly as good as the old kestrel, old kestrel flex, the kite or the Evo… although I think they were more comfy than some people were claiming. I never felt the pinch on the Merlin that Boswell talked about in his video. The saddle leaned pretty well also. But it never quite felt like that old flex or kite, maybe I’m the only one that feels that way though.
If it’s like the last two it’ll be a tubular webbing bridge that utilizes the austrialpin frame belt buckles to adjust. It’s super smooth although it doesn’t get as short as rope Bridges do. There’s also more noise potential until it’s weighted. I actually like the webbing bridge on the shrike
If aerohunter stole Tethrd's marketing team they would put everyone else out of business. They make great stuff. But i agree, its their biggest pitfall IMO. Id rather them spend their time money and resources into making good products though. I guess theyre happy with where theyre at!
Marketing and patent style business approach. Think of how many saddles wouldn’t exist if they had patented that pleated design.
