Bridge length poll

[Patriot38]

Hey guys,

I've seen alot about different bridge lengths. I figured I'd make a poll to hopefully consolidate things and find that sweet spot. I know this one is highly subjective and depends on many factors.

Feel free to add:
Height
Weight
Saddle make/model
Fixed or removable

Thanks everyone.

I run a stock mantis (L)
5'9 185lbs

 

[kyler1945]

6'3 - 200lbs. Kestrel. 24" bridge is just about perfect.

 

[NDH]

6’ 0” 185 lbs.
Size 1 Kestrel
26” tubular webbing fixed bridge.

 

[blatallic]

5'7 at 250 lbs
Size 2 flex
25" bridge is the sweet spot. Tether at forehead height. A lot more comfortable than my Mantis.

Aerohunter evolution. So my bridge is adjustable but it sits around to 20 mark or less the vast majority of the time. Tether height is around my chin. 6'0, 205lbs,

5'8" 200lbs. I have a Mantis with stock bridge.

Take this with a grain of salt as I have only had 3 hours of play time in a saddle.

6'5"
310#
XL Heath Harrt saddle (waiting on my Flex)
Playing with a 28" fixed and my linesman out to 40"

What I've been noticing is the shorter fixed is good for leaning with a lower tether height around chest- throat high and the longer bridge with a tether height around chin-nose level is good for leaning and sitting.

Adjustable rope because It doubles as a lineman if I need 2 to go around limbs
