Latitude method 2 : Is there an aftermarket waist belt that isn’t rope and has a buckle? Thanks Scott

Also Overwatch Outdoors, they offer a raptor buckle on their saddles and I think he's willing to do some custom stuff. Both companies have outstanding reputations

I thought about feeding my TX5 1in wide webbing belt (like pants belt) through there. It adjusts via frame buckles.
Isn't it only like a rope sleeve? Your not going to be able to put 2in wide webbing through there very easily.

If you can feed 1" webbing through where the rope is, then I'd do that and get a Austrialpin Cobra buckle (the rated ones, not the fashion ones they also sell). If you don't want to sew, then get the Cobra that has the adjustment on both sides and then back up the side you don't want to adjust with a strong triglide (Suncor makes strong ones out of steel that you can find at Sailrite). Otherwise, you can get the one that adjusts on one side only and then sew the other side with several bar tacks.

This is one of the reasons I got rid of my method 2. Was not a fan of the waist belt

good call. my first year, so i might move on to bigger and better saddles
I went through a couple trying to find what I liked. Settled on the Cruzr XC and so far through a few sits it is unbelievably comfortable.

I am looking at Buzzards Roost next. But I dig my Method.
Yeah it wasn’t the main reason. Just one of a few. More or less I was accustomed to a single panel, along with a few minor inconveniences. I found it quite comfortable especially for climbing while 1 sticking.

My biggest complaints are the waist band rope and the lack of attaching the two panels together.
