New Aerohunter saddle?

I’ve owned the OG Evolution and the original Kestrel. Aero Hunter’s build quality is unmatched, IMO. Beefy, bombproof saddles.
If they ever get the design right, I’ll buy another one.
Their most recent offering was a step backward. Weird three loops, bridge support too low, smaller webbing width. I’d love to see them get it right.

I still sit in the Evo. I can't get away from the adjustability! It's bulky, but if it gets a bit uncomfortable, I little tweak here. And just like that a whole new saddle feel!!

This very true. The website, the first interface with prospective customers, is horrible. They need a new website, a better cart/checkout area, better email blasts for new product intros., and a Facebook and Instagram presence, to start. A knowledgeable marketing person could do this company wonders.

I heard grumblings about their marketing guy.

But, I've appreciated the company's no nonsense history, which put more effort into the build than the hype. They've seemed to stay busy enough making saddles without needing a Buffer.

With rising competition and folks discovering saddlehunting via youtube, a greater presence could certainly help sales. But hunting saddles are only a small part of their business umbrella.

For saddle hunters, once you're in it, the Aerohunter standard holds it's own if the design is solid.

Cutting back on colorways and proven styles was a step backwards. Hopefully they get back on track with what they've been good at.

All Aerohunter would have to do is ask this forum haha the majority of people who buy their stuff are probably on this site. I would like to see the bridge loops back to waist height also

oh dear… this doesn’t sound good:
— NEW Integrated Lineman’s belt: Included on the Shrike waist belt, an adjustable webbing lineman’s belt is attached on the right to a built-in adjuster buckle, and clips into a special carabiner loop on the left. Use it to assist your climb up or down, and as a backup safety lanyard anytime.You can adjust it on the fly with one hand—pull the webbing tail to shorten it, lift the edge of the buckle to lengthen it. Like the Kestrel, the carabiner loop is lined inside with reflective webbing for visibility in low light.

I really wish that LB wasn’t integrated. The overall design looks to be a good mesh of previous successful designs….
