So, I played around with leaving the sides open (not reinforced) with 2inch milspec elastic webbing used as binding, to allow the saddles full length to expand and not have a pinch point. I thought this might lend itself well to the use of the adjustment nodes on the bridge loops. Because of the angle that the bridge loops naturally take when under load, the ends pretty much stay together regardless. So, if you fully expand the pleats, the ends dont expand much, if at all. So, I went ahead and used 1 inch webbing to back the ends. Still, if im using 6 adjustment positions on the bridge loops, this renders the bottom 2 useless. So, im going to reduce the adjustment positions to just 4 on this one.
