Soon all saddles will have tether holsters,and when it's figyered out that bridge loops alone cause hip pinch.they will ditch those for a desighnsaying. To attach an adjustible rope or amsteel mod .just sayin.humble as I can.

I don’t know. It seems to me like the further we advance saddle technology, the more it ends up mirroring the older saddle builds (just with some newer and lighter materials). I mean, the Drey is a throw back to fleece saddles with rock climbing harnesses just with ripstop nylon instead of fleece, the transformer is like the Anderson tree sling meets the aerohunter Evo, Your build here is heavily influenced by trophyline’s older saddles, my personal builds, Cruzr XC, the H2 saddles, and many many others are slightly modified versions of the older aerohunter line ups. I’m not knocking anyone or trying to take away anyone’s creativity but if you look at the shapes and designs you’ll see it’s true.
As far as the future builds of saddles and bridge holsters:
Part of the drop testing criteria will be that none of the saddles can go inverted to pass, with the strap coming off the bottom legs, it will be more likely to go inverted during a fall. While I personally like bottom pressure like this design, because I sit, I am afraid that standards are going to do more to dictate saddle designs in the future, than hip pinch will. All and all though I think it’s a beautiful saddle and seems well made, if you ever do begin selling them, I will probably be on the list to get one. ;)

I agrea.Zacly.This is precise. There are better ways of attaching a bridge however.
no reason not to have pockets on it in the right place .alot can be done in compfort and stealth.but it's not my job.im just having fun.and thought my dude red would like how I do it.

Dude I love the integrated pocket idea. It’s awesome
 
As for the tether holsters,I can run full speed through the blacktail woods hurtling blowdown in a stampeed of rosivelt and not loose my .sugar huny ice tea.not one thing.thats why I do it that way. lighter faster farther is my priority .

A lot of guys loved the older Trophyline saddles that were shaped just like that. Back when they would round the bottom instead of the straight bottom. This saddle is almost a perfect replica of them. It looks amazing. I am sure that took some serious tinkering with to get it exactly how you wanted it to sit (geometry). I was never a fan of how the wider webbing went through the carabiner, but the old TL’s were pretty comfy. It also makes me think @Red Beard , all this time you were using the old school aerohunter evo, you should have been searching for those old school green family Trophylines!

Tinkered for six or seven years rebuilding them until the geometry in the seat and straps was erganomic to my body.every strait line and curve have to be the right size and place for it to do what I want.ocd. and you can see i would use a mirror look at it throw it down and start over.the rounded bottom of the trophy line.is what made it cut into my legs even with the big strap.the geometry was a well educated but miscalculated gues for me and what I do.still loved it at the time.the bottom of my saddle isn't actually rounded.my but is.its an illusion. The top is rounded. It was complicated to develope but it's realy simple.if that makes sence.im wearing sweats right now ,and that's how comforitable I want my saddle to be.in a cover ground situation it's just extra gear .so we need to quit spinning our wheels in consumerism and advance to the ultra light level these granola eaters have with backpacking.they have titanium spoons.for granola! imagin how much cool ultra light stuff a protein eating gear junky could carry.i can get a titanium scaffold frame prybar For work.light as a feather.
