Mil spec mesh ? Where you get ? Pic ?I've recently made two saddles. One was fleece and the other was mil spec mesh.
1000d cordura is a good option too!What materials are most common for saddle construction. Not straps,the cloth... ie 1000 denier nylon ?
Thanks guys

Ha! Didn't realize Cordura is 1000d nylon basically. Look up the Wraith or Wraptor saddle too. Looks really basic but it's really comfortable!1000d cordura is a good option too!

I've been thinking more and more lately about getting a thread injector and DIYing myself a saddle. The other night while trying to fight off a particularly stubborn case of insomnia my mind wandered towards saddle materials.
If we've learned anything from the tactisaddle its that the main webbing loop takes the brunt of the weight, so the material between the webbing should only act as the "cupping" mechanism. Some of us are genetically pre-disposed to need more cupping than others. My current saddle unfortunately does not cater to my situation very well.
For some of you more experienced DIYers, what are your thoughts on using fleece instead of cordura or mil spec mesh? Would it be strong enough to hold up to all that stretch? I'm aware of the DIY fleece saddle, but I've never seen a formal saddle built with fleece as just the "cupping" material.
EDIT: OP - sorry if I jacked your thread, but figured this was relevant to the conversation
Would love a material list and measurements for your fleece saddle, looks awesome. Thanks
Thanks I'll check it out.Fleece Sit Drag?
Not sure what to call this, I am a newbie. The seat pattern is a skinny football shape without the sharp pointed ends. Sewed two layers of fleece together. Added 2" nylon webbing. It is approximately 35" x 13". Seems to be comfortable. Plan on using with RCH. May add a belt strap on the...saddlehunter.com
Started out making a fleece sit drag, then evolved into saddle.
I have a fleece I copied from my Mantis and as it turns out it feels like a Mantis only hotter.I've been thinking more and more lately about getting a thread injector and DIYing myself a saddle.
