Looking to replace the Triad bridge on my H2 saddle. It's 3 years old and just feel like it should be replaced. What's out there now that's better? I never really needed to adjust it once i had it setup (it was pretty much impossible to move anyway). Looking for suggestions. Thanks.
 
It's not the fanciest, but I have run a short piece of oplux girth hitched on one end to a bridge loop, then with a biner-prusic on the other.

I sure miss the sewn webbing bridge on my AH Flex, probably my favorite bridge so far.

They aren't on the website for whatever reason but wood saddles has an adjustable webbing bridge like the AH saddles had u can buy separate.....they got amsteel type also but I prefer the webbing

I just bought an adjustable amsteel bridge from Wood Saddles. Wanted to run a secondary short bridge for 1 stick climbing. You can also get replacement bridges from Cruzr, Hangfree Co, Tethrd , Wild Lines Ropes, and Custom Amsteel Products.

I prefer the Wood Saddle blake hitch much more than the prusik on the Cruzr.

I wasn't too sure about the Blake's hitch when I first got the bridge, but it works very nicely. Holds well without any slipping. Easy to adjust as well.

I like that it is a thick rope. I didn't like the thinner prusiks that have to be twisted all on themselves in order to tie it onto a bridge. The blake's is very straightforward.
 
Anyone use anything from Hangfree? They have an 8mm oplux bridge with sewn prussic i'm kind of interested in. They also have adjustable amsteel bridges.

I don't have their bridge but I have bought a few of their products and they have all been of good quality and I'm sure the bridge would be no different
 
Another fan of the Aerohunter webbing bridge and the Wood amsteel bridge with a Blake’s. The feel of webbing gliding through the beaner is great. But I really like the way the amsteel bridge can get snugged up and tied to itself when walking long distances. The amsteel is also metal free, which is always preferable for me.
 
I bought Hangfree's adjustable webbing bridge a few weeks ago. Quality seems great but it's a good bit longer than I need. It's probably 5' long and when adjusted to the bridge length I like, there's a lot of excess webbing. I will probably end up cutting it shorter.

Sewn Tubular Webbing Tree Tether (Easy Adjust)

Simply pull the tag end to go up or use the "Pull Tab" which is the orange loop, to go down. It doesn't get any easier than that for Saddle Hunting!

You tagged a link to their “tether”. If that’s what you bought, that would be why it’s excessively long.
 
I don’t adjust the length of my bridges, so a short tubular webbing bridge is what I use. Ordered it along with some buckles from EWO. I lreder this because there’s no friction hitch to get in the way when I’m turning around to the left. With an Amsteel bridge the friction hitch limits the amount I can turn before it hits the caribiner on the tether


Semper Fi,
Mike

Yeah. I was getting kids ready for camp when I got the link. I have both the tether and the bridge. The bridge is long. Here's the correct link: https://hangfree.co/products/sewn-adjustable-tubular-webbing-bridge?_pos=1&_sid=9c2cddce2&_ss=r
 
Is anyone just running tubular webbing with a couple of water knots? If so, how do you like it?

I did all of last year, if you know where you want everything set I thought it was good. Almost want to go back to it instead of the adjustable but I'm sure that's all personal preference. I fiddle with stuff if I can lol
