First day in Tree impression:
Every saddle has some getting used too, so there will be another post at a later time I am sure.
The lower leg loop buckles that hold the position is plastic. Not for life support, and it weighs less, but I can see stepping on it a couple times while getting dressed and it eventually breaking.
The upper leg buckles are one on each side of the family jewels. Inside of the thigh. Hoping a short fall or gaff-out doesn't create an issue there.
I had the left work positioning Dee ring flip backwards and get behind the gate of my caritool (vault)
The most rear accessory Dee, just to the left of my spine, is a major blind spot and the dee ring has a tendency to flip up. Making tool retrieval that extra fumbling second longer.
Now the good:
It IS comfortable. The back is nice. I was able to stretch out on a limb with no pinch. There is Velcro on the inside of the leg, which I believe means that's one can purchase extra padding. The stock padding on the leg is pretty much zero. But the surface area is so much that it is still nice.
The MB is also quite easy to step into due to the way that the leg loops open up so much. I changed out the rope bridge for one just slightly longer.
I like that the rigging plates at the bridge are already flipped out, similar to the liger mod, giving the "lower dee" attachment point for a lanyard like on the TM.
There is also one more simple thing I do enjoy. The waist belt has a retainer clip for the slack in the belt. One less thing out there dangling.
So that's it for Day one. Light pruning.
We'll see how it does weighted down with some heavier gear during a block down.
Harness waist belts are life support. If you invert, you can fall out.
