Ever try a hard-seat saddle?Nope I saw deer, and was on fresh sign of rubs and scrape line, its more of that I feel as im making a lot of noise, and having to work really hard to stay comfortable in the saddle when climbing up one sticking. I keep my bridge really short, which I believe it makes me sit more upright, and causing the leg straps to really dig in.
I was all in on it last year and loved it, but after more time climbing this way, I feel like I might be more efficient, and quiet with multiple sticks. I understand that its not always going to be easy, and there is always bad sits, climbs, etc. I just need to figure out some adjustments to make it more efficient.
I have thought of going back to my original saddle which was literally a 3/4" piece of plywood with a 1" tubular nylon webbing strap to hold me on it. The most comfortable saddle I ever used, but the convenience and ease of a soft saddle won over so I've made replicas of many and use most of them.
I may make a plank with prusiks to attach to my bridge for long sits to mitigate saddle butt syndrome and swing the night away in comfort.
If you have the means, dont sweat making changes. If you dont have the means, just make the changes on the cheap! It doesnt take too much (and you get to decide if you want others to ever see it!)
