This was the first saddle I ever purchased. It was easy to use, relative unexpensive, durable (I used it for 3 year before donating to a relative.) I added a couple of metal loops when I ordered but it was Ok overall. This is a good saddle for a new climber that is in the proecess of getting into the sport.
This is a very comfortable saddle. It is easy to put on and take off. I love the simple design and easy adjustment. I have used it many times in the tree climbing program at my place of work and also to do maintenance on our climbing tower. The only downside is it is bulky. The bulk is worth it for the comfort.
