Back of leg pressure

[NJBuckhunt54]

When I'm sitting/leaning in my mantis I don't feel a lot of "pinch" coming from my hips but I do get a good bit of pressure pressing up on my back of my legs while I'm leaning. Iv tried different tether heights and it doesn't seem to make all that much of a difference. If I'm a leaner should the saddle be cupping under my butt or should it mostly be up on my back? Trying to get it figured out

I have a kestral, but any leg pressure I experience is remedied by letting out the side adjustments. I typically let mine all the way out.

I've also found that wearing the saddle lower than I would have imagine increased all-around comfort.

IMHO
To High tether pressure under thighs
To Low tether pressure around waist
At some point with the bridge length you like moving the tether up and down you will fell equal pressure from the bottom of the saddle to the top.

If you haven’t tried this, you should. This is a Dave T development and it made a huge difference for me.

When you get set, loosen your waist strap of your saddle. Slide the waist strap down to the top of your butt crack, and then pull the bottom of the saddle (at your legs) down also. I think you’ll find then that the upper strap will then take most of the pressure and less so on your legs. I think it gets a lot more comfortable there. I was a pretty apprehensive about pulling it that low at first but it works great.
