I have neither of the new hunting saddles, but it seems to me that the belt would be part of the rating and safety of the saddle.
That's one question I have had lately. I have and use a regular Hunters Safety System ultraflex. I like it. it had linemans loops and the fancy/rated buckles. I've been considering using it in lieu of RCH but it doesn't have a heavy belt. It does have a rated buckle but it's a bit above waist line.
one of the reasons for this thought is 1 piece of equipment. going to attach buckles on top of shoulder straps to attach climber to the shoulder straps. Wear it just like a day pack, attach leg straps upon arrival and use a bridge with tether for climbing. The normal behind the back tether will be used as backup if I need to bypass a limb or some other maneuver requiring bridge/tether disconnect. Backpack, climbing harness, saddle.
Use a sitdrag for a seat attached at same bridge thru the linemans loops. It's just a little bit shorter than the harness is so it should relieve pressure from harness, but harness is still connected for safety.
