Yessir, I can adjust it while im sitting in it I think I may incorporate another support strap running from one side to another with an adjustment slide.I like the look of that! It looks like you have some adjustment to thw position of your saddle, my ? Is can you adjust it while you are wearing it?
I probably sit more than lean, but I have an evo and I dont like the way the leg supports dig into the back of my thighs. I have frog legs, i might put another adjustable support strap across the lower portion to be able to change the pressure points during all day sits. I will see how I like it after sitting in the woods for a couple hoursThe Aero Evo has it's own built in battle belt. I have taken off the belt and just climbed with the bottom section. It is just like a Kestrel but with supporting leg loops. I don't know why manufacturers got away from the separate belt. I add one to all my DIY saddles.
Great job on your saddle. Are you a sitter? I am.
Can't you loosen the extra long straps on the leg loops to reduce the pressure? They provide about 3 feet of extra strap. Maybe they want to make sure we use them.

Do you find the aluminum climb paws on the corners of the Evo dig into your ribs? I have to lean back more than I want, so they are tolerable. I think @Redbeard experimented with removing them. Maybe that's why.I will probably switch back to the evo one day..... I like hunting out of my own diy saddles though. I have an evo, original trophyline, mantis & recon, but I think feels cooler to flog one out of something I created. I have made quite a few saddles now, but not near as many as @always89y, he must be running a Phillipino sweat shop in his basement!!

I killed a few big bucks from the evo, then I got into the small, compact craze, now I am building bulkier saddles. I never really had problems with the paws, I just found That the evo had way too many gadgets. I like the battle belt because I can add foldable molle dump pouches wherever.Do you find the aluminum climb paws on the corners of the Evo dig into your ribs?

I see you used that super wide strap for your saddle, I have been thinking about making a saddle with some myself, how does that wide strap work out while sitting?The Aero Evo has it's own built in battle belt.

Great job on your saddle. Are you a sitter? I am.
It is great. Super comfortable. It pretty much matches my wildest expectations. I have a few videos where I am climbing with it and I say several times I could just sit all day with no other support. Here is my channel if you want to see all my mistakes.I see you used that super wide strap for your saddle, I have been thinking about making a saddle with some myself, how does that wide strap work out while sitting?
Great idea. Some of the mesh is too stretchy and you fall through.I just got finished adding an adjustable strap to my battle belt saddle to reduce strap pressure on the back of my thighs while sitting. It is adjustable so I can adjust it to eliminate pressure points during long huntsView attachment 34732
It seems to help from the sit I did in my yard, I guess the proof will be in the pudding when I sit for hoursGreat idea. Some of the mesh is too stretchy and you fall through.
The adjustability is very nice.It seems to help from the sit I did in my yard, I guess the proof will be in the pudding when I sit for hours
