Curious to hear feedback. The narrow(er) straps on the Phantom are the big point of discomfort for me. The larger arse looks awesome as well.
I had both. I sold my phantom because the H2 was more comfortable for me. I will sell the H2 and keep the recon for a minimalist option.
I am sure the cruzr is more comfortable than an H2 or phantom or recon or kestrel or flex. Zero pressure on the hips. I got the Cruzr on Monday.
I like the legs straps on the Cruzr. The buckles are the best I have had on a saddle. The amsteel bridge is a cross between and ultribridge and the triad bridge.
The only draw back compared to a phantom is it is heavier and a bit bulkier. The saddle is huge but it packs small.
The lineman’s loops are visible open but not as big as a phantom.
I like the loops on the Cruzr better even though they are smaller.
Also the mesh on the Cruzr seems to flex like fleece or spandex which adds to the comfort. The material makes it more comfortable than a flex and more pack able.
I have sat in the Cruzr a couple of times for an hour each time. I have never felt so little hip pinch in any saddle other than a JX3.
I think long sits will be enjoyable.

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Is there any concern being they are a newer company with no 3rd party weight testing, etc.?
Good idea. We are all different. The phantom is a good choice for some people. Light, minimalistic, and likely comfortable for some guys.I have a Phantom and just ordered a Cruzr XR. Im a brand new saddle hunter and have yet to sit in either or any saddle for that matter. I did wear the Phantom around my kitchen but thats it.. Ordered the Cruzr last night after I keep reading how comfortable it is. Im going to take both out at the same time and see what I learn.
Post your opinion on one vs the other. We're all learning here.I have a Phantom and just ordered a Cruzr XR. Im a brand new saddle hunter and have yet to sit in either or any saddle for that matter.

I will take the Cruzr every day. But it is bulkier and heavier. The Cruzer is more comfortable, has a great bridge, great bridge loops, perfect linemans loops, I like the leg straps better, and the stitching better, I like the Tethrd guys but the Cruzr is the best I have tried, IMO>Post your opinion on one vs the other.

I was sold on the Phantom (based on reviews) until the Cruzr came along, but I don't know I'll buy it until I see some independent testing. Not trusting my life (my ability to walk, hold my kid, etc.) to any product that hasn't been thoroughly put through the ringer by an unbiased source.
It’s as safe as any other saddle.
Check your equipment daily. Here is a picture of a phantom bridge on Facebook.
