Who are you replying to, what detail do you want us to expand on?
I like the webbing bridges on my Recon. Secured with a water knot.

Anyone know how to make adjustable web bridge without sewing?

Say more about this please. I never used these for a bridge but plenty on aiders and almost can’t get those suckers to move when I want to undo them.
Edit: See updated post further down. They can slip.

Gotcha. I've got the AustralAplin (sp) tri-glides on my UltimAider and my leg straps. I'm happy with them, but I think on a bridge I'd be more comfortable if they were backed up with stopper knots.

Yeah, I've used them the same way. Why do you say that? Isn't the point of rated tri-glides to retain webbing without knots or stitches?
while not "fully adjustable" i grew to prefer using a sling for a bridge on my saddle. depending on how you loop it through your bridge loops you can set it in a few different configurations using a carabiner. this makes the bridge openable, and you no longer have to step through a bridge with muddy muck boots also. switching the configuration is as simple as going to my lineman for a minute, changing configuration and sitting back down, no extra parts or anything.
keep in mind with these photos, this is just for demonstration purpose, these are not the biners i use for hunting. crossloading on the carabiner in the first picture hasnt been an issue for me, when using proper size carabiners, but something you should be aware of

Just for peace of mind. I'm sure they'll hold, but I'm more comfortable knowing that the one thing keeping me from hurtling to the ground won't slide loose.
My bridge is woven through the bridge plates on my Recon, and it absolutely does not move. Still, I cut my bridge extra long and tied the tag ends together to eliminate the possibility that could pull itself through. As an added bonus I now have a short bridge I can climb on.

I gotta give props to @gcr0003 on this. I found I was wrong. I recently made a 2TC footloop with one of these AustriAlpin 1" frame buckles and 1" tubular webbing with tails 5+ inches. After only 5-10 climbs I was shocked last night to see one tail had gotten to only 3/4" from slipping through. I never noticed it slipping.
Over multiple seasons one-sticking I've never seen them move in my UltimAider so maybe the directional load or the additional friction of running the webbing through a slotted stick step makes a difference. But I'd have to agree these may not be good for a bridge.
I edited my first comment.
