I feel like my saddle should sit lower on my butt, kind of splits my cheek? Can I adjust to fix this? Its not the newest Aero hunter, maybe two years old. Got it second hand. Maybe I need to go to size 2?

Yes that happens to my saddle as well sometimes. I adjust the saddle waist strap slightly lower than my pants beltline when I'm sitting. That places it more centered with my butt.

Which bridge and what length is it and how high do you attach your tether to the tree.
Are you a leaner or a sitter?
Platform or ROS?
These things all interact with each other and effect saddle comfort and position.

I attach the tether around eye /forehead sound the tree, happens if I lean or sit. I use a platform. Only thing I don't know is bridge length off hand, not with me right now.

Is it a Kestrel? If so, have you played with the adjuster straps?

Yes. I just started playing with straps last time out. I guess I'll just keep playing with those first to see if I can get it to sit better. Also like the other guy said, maybe put waist strap down a little.

One thing I've done with my Kestrel is to modify how my bridge attaches to the loops.
In my case, its an Amsteel bridge but I assume something similar could be accomplished with a webbing bridge or rope bridge.
This mod basically wraps the bridge in a cinch fashion so it grips the loops. This allows me to place the bridge exactly where I want it on the loops and it stays put. Sliding the cinch lower on the loops cups the butt better with less slippage upward of the saddle.
Adjusting where the bridge pulls on the loops has an influence on saddle comfort. Moving it even an inch changes how my saddle feels.

Ya I have rope, that looks like a good way to play around with things. Thank you.
