Been conversing and collaborating with @Red Beard on a set of removable leg loops to throw on for rappeling and maybe SRT/DRT. Heres what we came up with. The loops are adjustable and passed the fat guy standing and jumping in them test.

Arc'teryx LEAF E220 Riggers Harness

Packaged as an emergency set-up, the Rigger’s Belt comes with a single mesh sling that folds into two leg loops and attaches to the belt to form an emergency harness.

This is a cheaper option. Still too much for me for what it is though.
 
I have a set of the misty mountains. Keep thinking I’ll use with the hybrid for one sticking and rappel. Will probably just end up selling. Great idea fellas

Put me #1 on your list if you choose to get rid of them. ;)
 
And I’m happy to donate the misty mountains to you fellas if you wanna copy them and send back.
 
I think you’ll want some sort of adjustment, to keep them on your legs when there’s slack, and because if they’re not sized properly, you’ll be crushing the boys, or fall wrong.

also, how do you get them on? If you’re leaving them on permanently, just get an aero hunter evo.

the mistys have ability to take on and off. And adjust.
 
I have several rock climbing harnesses which seem to mimic these setups almost exactly. :D

Yep! The only difference with this one is, the leg loops are detachable and can be put in your pocket. Im still not sold on the use of it as I have plenty of rear to keep me in the saddle when rappelling or climbing. But for the non-callipygian, I can see the advantage.

Yeah that may be uncomfortable. Still thinking through this. The Misty Ultralight Urban Sit Kit still looks amazing though.

I guess the use case would be something like... You'd use the belt as your regular pants belt and stuff the leg loops in a cargo pocket. We're always talking about don't climb a tree unless "the sign is hot". Something like this would certainly keep weight down if you were just walking around. Then @always89y could fashion up an uber-small fleece or mesh bag that doubled as a saddle (think packable hammock). Leg loops go into the packable saddle hammock, and that package goes into a pocket.

Funny thing is, my primary and backup saddles ARE Evos! :tearsofjoy:
