I think I posted this in the other thread that was linked, but I have severe sticker shock for this setup. It appears to be straps and webbing, seen into loops. I realize that takes effort etc, but I don't see the same manufacturing costs to sew straps with an industrial sewing machine as say casting an aluminum platform etc.
I hope they are successful, I just don't understand the pricing. Maybe someone with more manufacturing experience can set me straight, but that's approaching custom saddle prices, for something that looks like it's way simpler. Do I think I could DIY as good? Definitely not as clean, but as safe probably yeah. If not, I think I could probably pay someone like CGM or beaston or one of the other sewers on here far less for a better product. Note: they currently don't offer products like this and I'm not volunteering them/didn't ask permission before name dropping. Perhaps one of them will prove me wrong and educate me out of my potential ignorance.
