Hey all.

I wanted to start a thread where I will continually update my thoughts on my new H2 Slingshot saddle.

I got the version with the leg straps, as I am new to saddles. I got my first sit in this past Sunday 10/20. I sat in the saddle for just over two hours. Once I was at height and set up, it took me a bit to get comfortable and fully trust everything. Strange feeling having your back to the open air like that for the first time. Once I got settled in and got used to it, I really enjoyed it. I felt secure, and loved the two sitting positions I tried as well as leaning. I'll probably find myself being more of a leaner than a sitting, which is the opposite of what I expected. One thing I took away from the sit is that I need to shorten my Prusik loop, and maybe my bridge.

As for the saddle, I can not say enough so far about the quality. The stitching all looks absolutely bomb proof. There is no doubt that Heath is building a quality product, and equally important is that he prices his product well.

As mentioned I will update this thread with each sit I get in.

Cool. Just remember when you shorten your bridge you might induce hip pinch.

Absolutely. I just shortened my prusik. Will see how much that helps first. Should be all that is needed.
