Replacement bridge

I prefer the tubular webbing bridge, only down side for me is the lack of pitch adjustability. One year I ran it through prussic on the bridge loops... But some people in here found it unsafe, and as I am not a linesman or arborist I took the advice!
 
I did webbing with water knots when I was running a rock climbing harness and sit drag. It was easy and simple once I figured out bridge length. Then I went to the rope bridge that came with my Aerohunter Kite and went back to the webbing. Last year I used webbing with triglides. I felt better about the triglides than water knots from a safety standpoint, but both were safe and I never had issues.

While it doesn't grip as tightly as amsteel type bridge or cumfort ballz butt u can get the webbing to cinch up on bridge loops and have that adjustment available if u want...u just gotta play with the way u got the webbing attaching to the bridge loop....u could do a constrictor knot and it would grab just fine for pitch....just be not as simple to loosen up and adjust....double girth hitch probably work also. i personally never noticed that type of adjustments to do very much at all for comfort. Before I got my current adjustable webbing bridge I preferred using the buckles vs the semi bulky knots
