Got pretty frustrated with this one last night, threw it around the garage, maybe even kicked it.
This morning I re-thought how it should be used, adjusted, and how the main webbing pulled.
I decided to add some reinforcing webbing at the points of force. That made it significantly more comfy. I also realized that putting on an adjustable webbing bridge made the bridge location on the loops much more adjustable, further increasing comfort. Then I thought of the panels, and how they can be used independently. Turns out, this thing is comfy in a few configurations:
1. For the sitter, fold small panel down on seat for a sling effect, or leave it out for a little back support. For the leaner, flip it and sit on the small panel.
My problem last night was that I was looking at the whole saddle as a seat, putting the shock cord loops center mass. No good.
This is turning out to be a decent build.
