Just got my saddle about a week ago, and I have got a few questions. I took it out of the package and noticed a slight fray on the bridge of the saddle. I don't know if this is something that i shouldn't worry about or something that I need to look into getting fixed. My last question is when I was descending using the one stick climbing method, I heard a tear on my left side and noticed that one of the sewing stitches had ripped where the bridge is attached to the saddle. It doesn't look like a major problem, but am new to this and am looking for some advice. Attached are pictures. Thanks again.

New Guy question on saddle

The bridge fray is just the loose threads of the tag end that is buried inside the splice. You're good there.
The stitching on the bridge loop appears to just be in the extra layer of webbing that's sewn on for wear protection. As long as the cream colored webbing isn't tearing, you're fine there.

Agree with Kyler1945, but I would add that you should inspect the rest of the saddle if you haven’t already. This sort of thing bugs me because it could be indicative of other issues.
