Wow! Just watched both videos and I am impressed. I love the simplicity that thos offers over the old system. But I really like the detail. Right down to the webbing keeper. I hate having long straps dangling as they wiggle when you move. I am always using a rubber band or something to keep straps clean. It looms like a nice setup. I cannot wait to hear what some of you think about this system. I agree and think that i will wait for a bit before buying but i really like everything i have seen.

This is a game changer for the sitdrag group. No need to modify and it has the certified safety and that is always welcome!

Rappelling with a bridge is different but I like it better
http://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/atc-rappel-with-a-bridge.2024/

So for you experienced rappelling spur crazy folks. I have been just clipping into my RC harness to rappell while using the sitdrag. With the kestrel it won't be the same and using the bridge is the only clip in point. With the bridge say extended and all tension being placed on this point would it be safe????

Overalls I think this thing is gonna be bomb proof

I'm gonna have to request that this thread be put on hold till 3pm Central time (Not Mtn) I am a HS teacher and I've got to teach these kids something at some point today. I can't seem to do that with my phone blowing up with notifications on the Kestrel. And being as I'm somewhat addicted to reading each post that is made, this may be a problem for me. My mind is already consumed with hunting thoughts 24/7 so please be kind for the kids learning sake. Otherwise I'll end up throwing Boswells YouTube vids up on the projector screen and that may be frowned upon here at work. LOL!

I'm right there with you I teach I high school too just now getting caught up on this thread during lunch lol

How will the sizes work? Are they going to be the same as the evolution? Is the evolution still going to be for sale until they run out of inventory?

Boswell I had a back and pelvic injury it's almost been a year and I was wondering which saddle would be better the evolution or the new one I was just wondering how much pressure would be on the pelvic area with the new one

What school system starts this early. I teach in MD. We go back after labor day.
I'm in Georgia. My kid went back 7/27. Of course he gets three one week breaks outside of Christmas and thanksgiving. They get out mid May.

Awesome job Boswell! Just in time for my 30th B-Day (Sept.2nd) This looks like a must have. Will be working on family to preorder an early present, so I wont have to...
