If you can look past the bridge material debacle on the Cougar, Weaver has built saddles that are known to last for decades and I'm sure the Denali is no different.

With that being said this new Denali appears to have some funky backpad/waistbelt design issues. The bottom portion of the backpad looks very similar to TreeMo, but unfortunately they just had to add that gawd awful upper portion. With that upper section of the backpad there is just no way you would ever be able to get this saddle to sit down below the top of the hip bones, and find that sweet spot of the pelvic girdle. There is also no way you would be able to keep that waist belt/buckle from digging into your belly region. Also take note of where the buckles on the upper portion on the back-pad are located. Directly above the hip bones. Why? I for one Fucking Hate saddles that ride above the hips and waist belts that dig into my belly, so I'm wondering who thought any of this was a good idea?

No offense to Cody, but watch the Bartlett vid and you will see that the upper portion of the backpad is halfway up his back, the waist belt is well above his belly button, and his massive billy-goat sized package is savagely having the life squeezed out of it. Fuck All That!

Go stand on a spar for a few hours with a big saw hanging off you, or do a big prune with lots of hang time. No doubt that upper back-pad with those lovely buckles rubbing on your hip bones, that waist belt/buckle digging into your diaphragm for hours, and your balls being put in a rock crusher would make anyone think about an abrupt career change!

Ya I agree with all that too... The saddle looks as u described it...it's just hard to believe they would make something that would obviously hurt so much. I would think it's not gonna sell much...
 
I said it before, it looks like they almost nailed it! The bridge is kinda stupid, and the double waist belt looks horrible.
I do love the old school new school hybrid. And the heavy leather looks like once it breaks in to be comfy as can be.

A near perfect old-school new school hybrid saddle has already been created and its called the MCRS!

I believe weaver made the belt and leg pads for the MCRS and the rope work was assembled to it at a different site. You would think weaver would consider the comments about that when designing this saddle. I have seen this saddle in a saw shop and want to try it when I get up to Gap Arborist but I have to wonder about the one size fits all concept.

It seems very adjustable. You might be able to get in it.

I did not like my brief experience with it much. I tried it on and ran up the test line in the back of Pete's shop.


That seems like even more reason to sell the Weaver Woven rope saddle instead of trying some off the wall stuff.

I know I'll be able to get into it, but will I like the position of the "D" rings and accessory loops. I like the D's just in front of the points of my hips. If one size fits all that would put the D's at your belly button.
 
No one has mentioned the fact that this lovely Water Buffalo leather is on the wrong side of the saddle. You want that shit on the inside of the backpad where you can truly enjoy the virtues that some beautiful leather has to offer.

This thread is hilarious. Should we just buy one of the damn things, ship it around, and post reviews? I'll go first, and wear it sans clothing to break in the leather.
 
I tried one on just for the hell of it today, I couldn't figure out where any part of the waistbelt was supposed to ride, so I didn't even hang in it.
