what saddle are you running now?How does that mesh seat on the mantis and kite hold up? And is it the same stuff on the Phantom? I figured it wouldnt hold up like cordura so I’ve stayed away from it... although I must admit, I wouldn’t mind a lighter saddle. I’m that guy trying to shave weight wherever I can
Assume you are referring to durability of the material. I don't think anything we do is going to wear it out. The stitching will be compromised before the material. If you are referring to the saddle holding up as in staying in place, I can't speak to the kite, but the mantis was all over the place during my short use. Wearing it in was a poor option, and once on the tree it was all over the place. I think the issue was the waist belt not holding.
