New double bridge loop design

I made a copy of the raptor saddle and wanted it to be noise free and easy to manage.
I used the inner tube mods on the
D-Rings,added the rear straps and used a rope belt.
This is actually a really nice saddle and is cheap to build.
I plan to add some of these elements to a double bridge loop saddle build tomorrow and see how I like it.

How did you attach the rope belt to the saddle?
 
Nice idea. Maybe after you have more experience with it you could make a list of the advantages and disadvantages that you find. Innovation and testing is the only way to find out. Great sewing job.
 
This one is riding above the top panel I used 4 loops to run the rope through to avoid feeling the rope when your setup.
Works great and you don’t feel anything. I tried running it through the top panel and you feel the rope more than you do when it’s above the saddle.
A rope belt actually for me works very well other than stepping through it I see no down side over a buckle.

I’ve had a lot of interest in this design so I’ve decided to start making some available to sell.
I will make a thread about this saddle in the vendor section once I get everything lined out on my end.
If you have anymore direct questions pm me and I’ll answer best I can.

I have built several saddles trying to make a double bridge loop design that works and this one really impressed me.
Slight adjustments can be made easily to fine tune for comfort.
I need more time to test but this may very well do away the the need for
D-Rings that I use on my other saddles which add cost and noise potential.

Without wearing or handling it, I prefer this to the metal rings. I just trust webbing more because I feel it is less likely to fail without warning. Also, this design will be lighter and quieter. Also, this provides safety redundancy. You could totally lose anyone of the 4 bridge loops and you would be fine.
