Hello, the bridge size is what comes stock on the Tethrd Phantom xl. I don’t know the specs. Sorry.What size are your amsteels on that bridge? That looks simple and I’ve been toying with the idea of making something similar.
I haven’t tried the suspenders with the heaviest of layers. It hasn’t gotten that cold where I am. Like you said, I would probably try loosening them out and wearing them at all times first, but if not then just slip them off and let them hang off the back.I really like the idea of suspenders for walking in wearing your saddle. But then do you take them off once you start your climb? Seems like a non issue early in the season when its warm, but your saddle is obviously your outer most layer, so you would need to wear your suspenders over all of your insulation, so you would have to lengthen them. Or am I missing something?
Yeah I hang a platform and two sticks off mine while I climb. I don't usually have any issues because the weight is on my LB, but walking in the saddle definitely wants to sag. Looks like your using suspenders from Sitka?I haven’t tried the suspenders with the heaviest of layers. It hasn’t gotten that cold where I am.

I use sticks, sometimes 4. Having the suspenders on during the climb is the greatest reason I’m using them, besides walking in. With 2-3 sticks and the predator xl platform, I could use the “lift”.

I have a pair of those suspenders, maybe I'l give them a try. I too was waiting for the Tethrd ones to come back in stock, but I don't think it will end up working for me with heavy clothes anyway. I will try these. Good idea, I never thought of using them but the hook on them is perfect for the molle on the saddle.Yes Sir. I was going to get the Tethrd ones, but they have been out of stock for a long time. Grew tired of waiting and fighting my saddle sag.
If I were in better shape and had a posterior, it may not be as necessary, but I’m not…
