In G2's video on saddle hunting for beginners, he suggests hanging upside down at ground level and trying to fall out of your saddle just to get comfortable with your gear. My question is, can this break the leg strap clips or is all of your weight going to be focused on the waist belt?

When I've been upside down, most of the pressure is on the belt and the bridge oddly enough.

Getting a little greedy aren’t we seeing as you won a whole prize already LOL
I actually won two prizes because I'm not only won the platform, but I also won a mystery prize for the Erniepower Shuffle caption
I think half a prize is in order. Unfortunately, it’s the “good job” half, not the product half.
I'll take the good job half of the price that's okay with me. I'm just glad they finally told us all the suspense was killing me.

I was hoping for a toilet paper holder.

Do you plan on needing toilet paper while in the saddle? I can’t even begin to figure out how you are going to accomplish such a task. I’d love for you to post a video of how to pull this off... I’m sure it will be entertaining.

Could add a flap like the adult flannel onesie pajamas.
Optional Pajama butt flap with toilet paper holder for the second production run!

Man I feel so lost. I haven’t checked the site in several months and come back to a whole new company with amazing products coming out. I hope you guys have great success and keep coming out with great new gear. I don’t know any of y’all really but g2 and flinginairos had been extremely helpful to me early on when building my sitdrag and splicing amsteel.

Question about the mantis. My first saddle was a trophy line ambush mesh saddle and I could never get over the pinching and it wanting to slide up and down on me. Then came the sitdrag and problems were solved but I still don’t always trust my sewing and splicing 100%. Being the mantis is mesh I’m worried it would be similar to the ambush. I’m all skin and bones and don’t have much fat for cushion. Haha. I’m sure the mantis though would be a vast improvement with you guys creating it.

I wish I had your problem. @fliningairos maybe the best answer to answer your question.

Personally I'm really hoping we don't get the "how to" video for this...

Welcome back! I hope you didn’t waste several hours reading through this thread!

You won’t have any issues with the Mantis sliding. The mesh seems to “grab” your clothes and it stays right where you put it.

It’s taken all day but I think I’m caught up enough. Haha. You guys have been busy. No hip pinching either. I’m almost a full time leaner. Work good for that?

You will be pleased. I’m a leaner as well and find the Mantis the same comfort level as the Kestrel and better than a Sitdrag.

Undo leg straps, loosen belt and slide down saddle and pants to back of knees. Make sure you slide around the tree where you won’t be climbing down. Fire away!
