traverse deluxe saddle

[macrocarpa]

I just ordered the traverse deluxe saddle because a friend has one and it fit me really good.

Sherrill said they had to special order it because they don't stock/sell many of them. The said they sell a lot of the sequoia, but the sequoia seemed to not be very supportive when I tried it out.

Any negative or positive opinions on these 2 saddles?

I am actually using both of those saddles.

I find the sequoia is very maneuverable but not supportive on long jobs. It also took me a while to trust such a flimsy belt, especially the SRT loop!

I am pretty happy with my traverse deluxe but that's probably because I am used to an oldschool harness. Comfortable, easilly adjustable, replaceable upper/lower section.
The only thing I find annoying is all the extra webbing that is bunched up under the elastic straps. There is about a foot of it and it is always coming loose and unravelling.
Also, the D-ring are steel so they are tough on aluminum carabiners.

Best of luck,
