want to explain the overhand knot for the leg straps connecting to the rigging plates/lower d's: the original design has them floating through the holes. this causes the leg straps to shift around as you move and weight into the harness. this translates to a feel like your TIP is...
been climbing on the "Weaver Stratus" a few months now 4-6 or so. I bought a post recall version from Arbsession with the safety fix installed.
It givss a bizarre sideways feel that feels like your tie in is moving. You can adapt once you understand, all good. I added a keyring to the very...
I run two mirror identical lanyards daily, 12' left and right, 24 strand climbline, hitchcord. and micropulley. always tied in and always got nice positioning. works well with spurs or srt.
noone is ever going to rescue you alive out the tree. Know this.

wanted to say the key ingredient here is the dmm perfecto carabiner with the captive pin. Really it could be any carabiner with that feature I suppose. The revolver carabiner is nice with its little pulley, but a $3 hardware store snap would do. the key to it is the captive pin carabiner.

ddrt kinda sucks on it though.

no idea what brand name. super...
one thing to mention about the cbdb, is you should keep it clean and loose. I think odorless mineral spirits is the best with an old toothbrush. If the upper chip plate thing gets stuck with debris, the whole device gets terrible. just keep it clean obviously like any.
