Sorry in advance to those of you who came here looking for dating advice.
I've made and been pleased with several DIY saddles and hunted in a few commercial models too. Still, I remain unsure exactly what "butt cupping technology" is or more specifically how it is built into a saddle. One of the big claims behind the new saddle-which-shall-not-be-named is that it is very comfortable to sit in due to it's shape. What is a butt-cupping design exactly and how is it created? Is it simply the shape cut out of the mesh or cloth body that determines cuppability? Maybe someone who has tested some new butt cuppers will be able to give some insight @EricS @flinginairos or those who have made them @ckossuth. Obviously the sit-drag style isn't a cupping seat and has parallel edges, but is the Wraptor a more cupped design @Bwhana? Genuinely interested to know how exactly a cupped shape is stitched. The kestrel clone I made seems to cup a bit and is very comfortable, but I want to know more about how this works and if there a specific process used to create this effect.
Thanks for the input in advance.
