Hey man you gotta be proud of that dadbod! Everybody's got a six pack but it takes a special skill to hide it 24/7. At least that's my story haha

Here's a pic of my dog completely baked.
Ok here's my thoughts:
Thanks for including me as this design has many features my saddle does not(flex). I'm 6'2" and a svelte 235lbs with a size 38ish" waist.
T hooks. These are really cool. They're one reason why I steered away from the mantis as I didn't think they'd hold well enough but by golly they do. I actually like them better than the cobra buckles on my flex as they're lighter and smaller and quieter. Not as hard to get in the loops as I'd thought. I like that orange webbing was used, makes a positive id and securing easy to manage
The single adjustment waist strap is nice. My flex you can pull excess strap from either side but this adds more bulk. I like this design even tho it only pulls to one side I don't mind an off centered buckle. Less bulk.
The amsteel bridge is cool. I have no xp with the product so it was fun to fiddle with it. The prusik I like as an addition as well. It seems like it would hold up well and is very quiet unlike my bridge that has a metal buckle.
The beads/marbles sewn into the bridge loops is an interesting concept. I could see where it would be beneficial for folks that either lean or sit in one position.
I found the saddle pretty comfortable. Perhaps if I had an @Blinginpse Davidesque physique it would for me better but alas I have a sirmixalot butt. Still, it's pretty comfy. I do like the mesh. My flex gets a bit toasty and this was pretty airy even just goofing around in my garage.
All in all I really like this saddle. I'd buy one if'n I was in need for sure. I threw in a couple doodads and thingamagigs for folks to play with. Here's some pics for the folks playing at home.

On her way to @Blacksmith
Is his name half baked, or is he in fact half baked?

Her name is Silly, as in silly dog and yeah, she's half baked in that pic, coming down off anesthesia. Here she is today, pissed off at me.
Slowly returning to her grumpy usual self.
Well, Sally will be on her way from the Blacksmith Shop in Sunny Ohio to Arid Apopka Florida in the Morning. Looks like she came from a shop w/good quality management. Nice Job. Very Comphy but I have to admit I still like the Anderson Design of my Treehopper. I like all the features on her. Thanks for the chance to try something new. Blacksmith..
Pics or it didn't happen.
Oh it happened alright but pics are above my paygrade. I'm just a saddle hunter w/a simple recurve.
