A few questions for you ESS users. Is the bridge one hand adjustable? Is the belt one hand adjustable or at least easy to adjust in the tree? Does the belt stay in place? Is it possible put a rope belt on an ESS similar to a Latitude. These are all qualities that I would prefer in my saddle. My current saddle has some of them but not all. The rope belt guys seem to say that they can adjust their belt's easily and they stay in place.

No - uses 1” webbing and tri glides which adjust best with 2 hands
Is the belt one hand adjustable or at least easy to adjust in the tree? No , more of a set it and use at that length, it can be adjusted but I would not consider it as easy
Does the belt stay in place? Yes, mostly, if you weigh the saddle down with pouches or a platform it will loosen some.
Is it possible put a rope belt on an ESS similar to a Latitude.
maybe. It could be modded but the waist belt is sewn into top panel.
The rope belt guys seem to say that they can adjust their belt's easily and they stay in place.
I only had a latitude with cobra webbing belt and can’t comment. It would be advantageous to consider a CGM, overwatch , or latitude among others instead of modding / throwing that much $ to get the features into a ESS
(I have a ESS , Recon and JX3 - I do not have a favorite)
