I like the Aero Hunter Kestrel/Kite platform: (Cobra style belt buckle / Push-thru style leg buckles)
- I like the easily modifiable/adjustable rope bridge (See Photo Below)
- I like the quality of Aero Hunter materials and workmanship
- I like that they have rated leg straps
- "Butt Cupping" adjustment straps are included
- MOLLE and Lineman loops are in the right place for me
- Comfort is great once you find the "sweet spot"
This was my first saddle platform (not counting Sit Drag) and I have never felt the need to change or upgrade. I love a girth hitched knot on one side and girth hitched prusik on the other. No metal, plus it allows you to adjust the "angle of the dangle" and length of the bridge easily without sacrificing safety.
I shorten the bridge all the way when walking and the tightened bridge acts like a second belt.
