I know some have asked about Aerohunter making some upgrades on their saddles. Well here is some size 2 kite goodness ...

Sewn on both sides adjustable webbing bridge
ADF buckles on waist and leg loops
Reflective thread in the lineman and bridge loops
Lineman loops moved forward

So basically it's a mesh flex without the pleat. Exactly what I wanted. The last pic shows it on top of my flex.

That’s looking like a really nice saddle. Thanks for all the pics.

Are there any identifying marks on the slides they used in the adjustable bridge? Would love a set of those slides for my Kestrel!...

Just got my Kite yesterday, I put on a 5.9mm powerchord fixed bridge, and an 8mm Linesmens belt. This thing is so comfortable compared to my sitDrag I might have to skip work this afternoon and head to some woods for an evening sit..

What is this 5.9mm powerchord you speak of?

Is this recommended as a friction hitch on 8mm? Tech specs mention anchors and haul lines. Nothing about friction hitch.

I'd say it's fine with 8mm, I'm using it as a bridge as well as a Klemheist Knot on 11mm rope but it's on the thin side for that thick of a rope. Try it out at ground level first and make sure your happy with your setup before trying up in the tree for the first time.

Do these come with the new flex or do you have to ask for them?
