Just received my Method and so far really like it. I'm a husky guy...5'10" 265lbs. It's comfortable and my first sit in it was almost 5 hours, only because I had to get home.
While setting up my saddle, I moved my dump pouches to the Method and I'm a pack rat. I use three pouches loaded with rappelling rope/descender, extra tether/ropeman, back band, DIY butt warmer, strap-on tree step, and daisy chain for my gear, plus carabiners. It's a load and I put the pouches on the molle loops on the lower panel.
That pouch weight really started sagging that lower panel walking a mile in and a mile out. So much that I busted one of the clips. So I ordered new ones but knowing the demand is probably pretty high, I made one of my own out of kydex. I've attached a few pictures of it.
Trying to beef it up a little, I made it 1/8" wider with the kydex I had. I'm also going to get some thicker kydex to beef up another set.
I thought I'd share my finished product.
