What type of knot did you use to attach the rope to the fleece?
That looks nice!!!! And comfortable.

Yes. Strap it around waist before climbing. The thing is so lightweight you don't even notice it.
looks nice. Did you do some sewing on that fleece? Do you think you'll eventually lose the carabiners and go with a fixed bridge?

Have only done some hanging in the basement so far but when I tried hanging without that bridge I got some hip pinch. That bridge, from the end of one biner to the other, is about 24". Removing the biners and bridge, strap attached around waist, I barely noticed it was there over top of my RCH.
No sewing.
Makes sense now that I'm looking at the picture again. Yours is significantly shorter than mine, although I don't know the measurement off hand. The ends of my continuous loops come up almost a foot above my lap when I sit in my seat. A shorter length seat may hinder your ability to spread the material up your back and down your legs, but the beauty of this overall design is you can easily customize it to your liking without much time or money invested.
I'm not following you. If you don't use a bridge, what's connecting it to your tether?

That's what a fixed bridge will do. Tie both ends of the bridge to the Fleece.

I don’t see why you couldn’t do that. The only downside would be that you couldn’t twist as easily if you were putting weight on the saddle, as you can with a bridge sliding through the tether carabiner.
Pretty sure he meant just tie the bridge straight to the fleece so you don't have carabiners and extra ropes. It would still slide through the tether carabiner.
