This has really helped me thin-down my options. I'm in the market to get another saddle. I wish I didn't hate shopping so much and I'd probably be even more excited to get a new one.

IF I could post photos on here I WOULD

They are them of me in harness BUT i do not what to embarrass meself

I love my treeflex and can not say enough about it. Though the Butterfly is wonderful the TF is AMAZING, GALs and maybe some guys, have you ever had that harness ride into your ribs and more and have your cup size increase due to movement of body items. well i have to admit it i have and those photo prove my point, since I have been wearing the TF that no longer happens the harness sits on my hips and you know GOD Gave us Hips.

the photos are not pretty - more scary to see - and I am sure you all have imaginations.

SO dear Girl, what did you decide, enquiring minds want to know.

I have it narrowed down to four saddles. The Vermeer dealer I went to didn't have a few of them, so I'm waiting for them to come in before I make any decisions. I'm looking at: Butterfly II, Weaver's Cougar, treeflex and treemagic.

I tried on the Butterfly and I had nearly the same problem as before: my thighs are waaay bigger than saddle manufacturer's have in mind I guess. The leg straps work (which I prefer) but not with much wiggle room. And this leaves me with a huge waist strap *sigh* When I got my Weaver wideback saddle with a single floating D about 9 years ago Weaver custom made me a saddle with a medium waist and large legs. I wonder if I'll get this lucky again?

I'm still crossing my fingers that I'll find something that fits me right. Climbing in my old Weaver, with it's weight, is a labor of love.

have you looked at the new tribe the do custom work and you can get it in Leopard fabric to. You would be the hit in the trees

GEE maybe we could meet and you can climb in the tree flex - have you tried one out?

Not to muddy the waters now that you almost decided, but Sierra Moreno makes a nice saddle (the Ultralight) that is modular, so you can buy the top and bottom separately. I like the saddle, but it's not really all that similar to the others you're looking at (permanent webbing bridge--not replaceable rope--being the biggest diff I think, but I haven't climbed on those others much).
