I’m unsure of the safety of it.. but when I was running pouches loaded completely down on the method.. that rope belt is the best for securing and not slipping.. you can tighten it down extremely tight with no give.I started a post asking about it and asking if anyone gad concerns with the ripe belt. While I admit my first impression was great I love that rope belt.
But then I told myself slo down what is the purpose of the belt could the rope compromise my security somehow.
Another person posted he just added another loop in the knot so once synched it won’t move but allows free movement for adjustments.
My concern was if its so great why haven’t other saddles done it unless uts a patent.
But all that to say I am good with the rope belt after thinking about it I think if it failed on me I likely have bigger issues anyway.
