Eberhart Signature Saddle Intro

I received the clips with my ESS and they definitely do help with getting the saddle on.

Could someone please post a pic of the plastic clips that are included to hold the bottom panel up while putting it on and walking? I am in the middle of a DIY sling-style saddle build and want to see if the clips are a better option than the rare earth magnets I was planning to use for this purpose...

Thanks in advance.
 
Wouldn't that still let the bottom panel fall out as you walk? That top panel has the waist belt so thats what prevents it from falling. Than again I could be looking at it all wrong
Good point. I have it in the opposite direction.
 
Only problem I see with connecting the clip to the top panel to hold the bottom panel is, wouldn't the clip cause a pressure point when you lean back into the saddle?

What i did was to put it upside down. Its on the inner panel. But pointing downwards in my outer panel.

I am still not sure what works best. I need to walk amd climb more with it on and with weight on the molle.
 
You should know but a side by side review is in order. The recon is significantly cheaper. @MADhunts

I just filmed my two-panel Ultimate Saddle Review and the ESS is in there along with the Tactisaddle AdApT (and I've already done a review on the Recon). My review will release this coming Wednesday. Yes, comfort is one aspect of a saddle, but there are many differences in functionality and the options offered from each manufacturer. If I can't get to the tree easily (no fiddle factor) without a saddle falling to me knees I don't really care about it's comfort. That's just how I view it. I know there are ways to simplify every saddle but some are simple right out of the box and some aren't.
 
So does anybody own this thing? And do you like it? Love it? Dislike it or hate it.
Sold mine after the second sit. It is superbly comfy, if the most comfy I've used. But, it has too many problems imo. It sounds like a wind chime. Too much metal and potential for noise. It is extremely annoying to walk in with. The plastic clips sucked at keeping it together. There's the fact it's made in china if youre into that. I think the recon is better and cheaper And usa made
Than again, I think all two panel saddle suck

Since you do not care about how comfortable is saddle is, I have a Tethrd Mantis I will make you a special deal on!
