Buying my first saddle.

I like the idea but agree with what FL Canopy Stalker mentioned. It would just be hard to track and monitor something like this. Especially with multiple saddles.
There are services that successfully do this with music gear. I don’t think it’d be that hard to pull off.
 
I sit 80% of the time or more and I’ve been in every two panel imaginable. In all the two panels I tried, I was only comfortable leaning which I don’t like to do. I prefer a single panel or a pleated saddle. There is no hard rule for leaners verse sitters. It’s all in body types and personal preferences.
Which gives further credence to how individualized these products are. Me, I sit/lean about 50:50; a lot depends on the lean, curvature, and diameter of the tree. Tried three different two-panels before concluding they weren’t for me.

Worth mentioning here that I’ve owned a good dozen+ saddles over the last two decades, and just took delivery of the Wood Hunting saddle deluxe model. I really really like it and can’t wait to get up into a real tree with it. A thing of beauty.

Absolutely, saddles and fit are definitely personal preference. I truly hope you enjoy the saddle and that it helps end the search for “the one”.
 
I have tried a LOT of saddles. The Overwatch Outdoors Orion is my current saddle and it's awesome. I don't see me using any other saddle in the future. For a two panel the Overwatch Outdoors Transformer is hard to beat.
