ErgoLite 'Empire' Saddle

[opposablethumb]

Buckingham Ergolite 'Empire' Saddle, size Small (28-32") for sale. Asking $300.

I used this saddle for about 4 weeks, so it is in almost new condition. It has a rigging plate with knotted rope bridge setup.

This is a really great work saddle. I simply don't have a current need for it, otherwise, I would be keeping it!

I will cover the cost of shipping UPS Ground.

Feel free to PM me with questions.

Anyone know how this saddle compares to Sherrill's Edge? looks like you can get rated fall arrest suspenders for the Ergolite huh? Are the leg strap pads rigid or flexible on the Ergolite?

I think it's basically the same saddle as The Edge. There are several variations on the bridge setup for the ErgoLite/Edge. I'm not so sure about the fall arrest suspenders...There is a spot on the back of the saddle where they might be able to connect, but somebody else would have to verify that. The leg straps are somewhat rigid in that it took a little while for them to break in and fit me right. Otherwise, I find it to be very comfortable, although a little bit heavy and a little bit bulky compared to my previous saddle, the Sequoia.

Thanks. This is what leads me to believe fall arrest suspenders can be added:

Yes/No?

Yep, looks like you're right about that.

Yes, biner on the back, pass the waist buckles through the loops in the front. The back webbing loop on the saddle doesn't inspire all that much confidence though.

I would've taken it Rob but I'm worried about the size too. The small maxes out at 32" which is my waist size but the medium is 32"-36" which is probably a better range for me. If I can find one locally to try on then I might get back to you.

Thanks for all the replies. Going to put this saddle on "hold" for a friend who wants to take a look at it. Will bump the thread if it becomes available again.
