Does anyone have any tips for removing that sensation that you’re going to slip out of the Mantis? I have been sliding the saddle way down (belt below pelvis) to get more cupping.

It’s not uncomfortable as much as it is distracting.

According to the table I was squarely a medium, but was wondering if a larger saddle is the answer? More material to wrap around my butt?

I was curious if anyone has received their accessories? I have the sys hauler ES, sys hauler freebie, and the micro adjusters I'm still missing. Just curious if anyone is getting that stuff yet or not?
I got a prompt response from the Tethrd website saying all accessory and freebie orders are shipping this week and next week.

I would like to know more about sizing. Is there a big difference between L and XL?
I am right in the middle of the L measurements but I don't know if I'm a leaner or a sitter because I've never tried it yet. I just watched David Tom's video review and he has a medium. Without knowing his exact measurements, we appear to have a similar build. So now I'm a little confused. Any help would be appreciated.

All good suggestions and I’ve tried most of them. Perhaps I need a large. Is the large that much bigger?

If you can take measurements of the medium I can tell you the difference in sizes. Measure bridge loop to bridge loop as well as the width and height of the seat fabric.

For a Mantis Medium looks like we have a height of 11.5”, width of 21.5” and loop to loop of 31.5”

Thanks. The large is 32.5 loop to loop. 14” tall and 23” wide. The large is almost identical in size to a size 1 Kestrel. The only difference is that the Kestrel is 13” tall.

Nice! Gunna keep playing with the medium. There was a moment yesterday where it felt real good. It was feet on the ground and tether really high so not sure how that will translate to the tree.

The large seems bigger enough to make a difference though.

I Came in from work yesterday evening , tired from a busy weekend until my wife said: “ You have something that came in the mail yesterday from that tethrd thing again”

All of a sudden , a burst of energy came from out of nowhere as I lept out of my recliner to go check out my shiny new Mantis.
........but it turned out to be only a carabiner and a
Sys Hauler ES. Cue disappointed music.

My new found energy gone, I sunk back down into recliner and sulked for a bit.

Maybe this week. Fingers crossed .

The prices you see are the discounted prices that they first offered at the initial launch. They've kept them in placed the best that I can tell. They are offering free shipping as well. Outside of that there's a 6-week wait so I wouldn't hold my breath on any more discounts. Resale they sell for what they are smack brand new, so there's that.

Is that a six month wait on everything? Like sys haulers?
