Where you get a raptor buckle?

I googled raptor buckle and order it from mission spec the only color in 2” was coyote. I have some older TL that I want to add a waist belt to so I ordered a couple

Well a couple of snowflakes coming down in northern Wisconsin so good day to go out in the backyard and hang from a tree. I got the large because I have about a 38-inch waist. It seems like it's still a little big and I do need to make sure that I use both the waist belt in the bridge tightened in order for it to stay in place. I gave no butt. Walking around the backyard the leg loops are a little annoying but I just hook them to Carabiner for my lineman belt and that worked out good. When the bridge is tightened into a belt mode it puts the lineman loops really close to the leg loops and it's easy to hook a carabiner there. Having 3 carabiners is pretty nice.

My 2 cents, I’d say 4.5/5 only because there’s always room for improvement.
Undecided about the buckle.
34” waist, the m/L is a good fit.
The only time I’ve had problems with TL leg loops is getting on and off the bike.

First impressions from a new saddle hunter. Everything seems well made and pretty easy to get comfortable with the way they work. Using my DIY platform and a single helium stick I was able to get a feel for things. Overall I think I'm going to like it and saddle hunting in general. I did expect to feel a little more pressure on my thighs creating more of a seat but it seemed like no matter how many adjustments I made the majority of the pressure was on my lower back. Also felt like my feet were sliding forward in my boots if I chose to lean but I'm sure that's mostly due to the boots I was wearing. I do see that I'm going to need some knee pads if I'm going to try sitting.

Apologies if this was already asked, didn’t read every page of this. Does the bridge double as the waist belt like the original Trophyline?

5' 6", 175 lbs, ~33 inch waist, no butt. I knew in 5 minutes that I was going to keep my Mantis and send the TL back. TL pinched my sides above my hips or didn't cup at all. I really wanted to like it. Guess I'll wait on a mesh Flex (not interested in Yarak).

On a side note: I love my medium mantis!
