Hey All.
Finished out my first tree saddle hunting season, have to say it was very comfortable, but I do have a performance question for one of my parts. I chose a H2 for my first saddle with an amsteel bridge mod, after a few long sits (maybe 20h all together) throughout the season, I noticed that my bridge started to fray.
I tried to read a bunch of older posts on the forum, but almost all of them explicitly dealt with the tucked ends of the splicing fraying which just isn't my case- this fray is about as center of the bridge as it can get and directly where the carabiner for my tether would sit. While I couldn't quote you on what carabiner's I was using, both my linesman and tether came with my H2 kit and neither carabiners have a rough spot.
I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the bridge fray below. Part of me thinks that it might just be some normal wear and to keep an eye on it, but another part of me is worried it is an indication of a larger problem I might want to deal with before next season.
