Aerohunter 22% off

They're still an excellent product though. But I agree, their marketing is somewhat not saddle hunter oriented.

Seconding what Bigterp said. Quality builds, but the current lineup isn't my cup of tea, and has certainly has received some criticism from other folks who liked older AH styles a great deal. (Small linesmans loop, attached linesmans strap, etc.)

To be entirely fair, I haven't heard it is uncomfortable.

If you can make the inconveniences work, or they don't impact you, $217 for a well built, (likely) comfortable saddle is pretty much a bargain.
 
What are the current issues with their latest saddle? The integrated LB? Why is that such a big deal? Purely curious as to what makes it a problem. I don't have one and do not plan on buying one but I'm just wondering what the problem with it always being there is? I get that its a strap instead of a rope too but as long as its safe... what things are problematic about it. What's it called, the Shrike? What is a Shrike?

1. Small single linesman loop (there was some post from Casey about a change, not sure where that fell out)
2. Attached webbing linesman strap
3. Deal...No deal, lol
