Any reviews of this saddle. The Cruzr saddle

I am thinking about trying a non pleated one out. Just to see if I like a pleat or not. The Cruzr models are identical except for the pleat.
 
Does it have cupping effect? Like the phantom and h2? Without the pleat?


See you in a tree, Ricky

Debating whether to look for a pleated saddle or a non-pleated cupping shape

Interested in ur comparison

Also very interested in this comparison. Thought I'd seen you mention before you were a sitter, do it'll be interesting to see which you prefer. You and some of the recent YouTube videos really have me sold on Cruzr.

I'm newer to saddle hunting. You trust a saddle made in someones house more than a bigger company??

You didn't ask me but...

Like President Reagan said "trust, but verify" meaning you should assess any saddle or equipment you own before getting to an elevated height.

Personally, I'd rather have a made to order saddle that was manufactured by the company/person selling it to me.

Appreciate the feedback! My question and or concern is with regards to safety. The only company that I have had an easy time finding out what kind of safety tests they run in their product is Tethrd. Not saying they are the superior saddle or not, it’s just more reassuring to be able to read about the testing they did to their saddles. It would be nice to have more of that information, or testing done from other companies as well!

I was making reference to "mass produced" saddles vs made to order.

I know Heath Hart published some testing he did on the H2. Aerohunter makes arborist saddles, so they are probably considered the safest money can buy if primary concern is safety. Treehopper uses a parachute manufacturer for their Recon. I have no insight as to the others.
 
I’ve only ever tried out the bigger names (tethrd, H2, aerohunter etc), so I wasnt sure if the made to order saddles like Cruzr stood up in terms of quality of build and materials used. That was my main question. I think The Cruzr looks awesome, I havent had a chance to see it in person yet. That’s what I’m trying to figure out before purchasing it.
 
Not too worried about the safety of any of the saddles that I have seen sold. I don’t have a cruzr. But I don’t think safety would be an issue.
After all , Most of the tethrd pros and owners have used sit drags and fleece saddles. So they must not be concerned either

As far as safety I would be much more concerned about user error including inspecting your saddle or ropes regularly for wear.

The best thing to do is call Cruzr and talk to them about your concerns and see if they can put your mind at ease.
If you order one and feel the workmanship is lacking, return it for a refund.

On the verge of buying a phantom but then saw a video of this. I’m not sure if it would be better for a walk in or if while opened up that far down the legs would it squeeze your legs together more? I’m new to saddle hunting and it’s a big investment so far it’s the phantom but gonna hold off until I hear some more info
