    https://www.endorstreegear.com/products/valiant-saddle-pads I noticed some interest in this old post, so thought I should do an update. While all that I said above is still true, the MRCS is no longer available and has been replaced with his newer model, the Valiant. I have not handled the...

    Oh, gotcha. For what it's worth, as much as I enjoyed my MCRS, I have decided that the TM S.light is a far better work harness for me.

    Just to be clear, it was not that he was one-handing that bothered me but how he was doing it.

    Still love the MCRS. I wish your friend had edited out that cut near the end of the video were he was one handing and reached over the top of the running bar with his left to guide the branch. Just a statistic waiting to happen.

    You need to let the newness wear off the bridge rope. When mine was new it bugged me for the same reasons you describe. After some use and grit and grim the knots stay put. I also changed how the side rings were set by flipping them so they lay down and forward instead of up and out and...

    Cool, Gary! The only other thing that can make a difference is the red bungee cord that holds them up. When it is adjusted to the right length the leg pads will automatically be in the right place when you go from standing to full sit and not need to be slid up or down. The New Tribes are...

    I love the buckle waist belt! It stays where you put it without having to be too tight and like you said it is handy this time of year with the varying layers and the fact it is easy to use with gloves on. This picture that I posted earlier clearly shows how the belt tail gets tucked.

    Ok, even though I have not been climbing on the MCRS for very long, I can honestly say that it is the best tree working saddle I have ever used! It has some things that take getting used to, like the floppy side rings in place of the more normal forward set D rings. I flipped the knots on...

    Also with the top support lengthened, you can shorten the leg loops. Mine have enough space to comfortably get my hand underneath them when not weighed. They basically don't move around at all with the way they slide through the rings.

    Gary, try lengthening the waist belt rings. That may or may not help but when the waist support comes on first it will cause the leg pads support to slide up causing the problem your experiencing. Look at how long I have mine adjusted.

    I plan on trying that but I expect not, at least with the supplied bridge. The scaffold knot takes up more space, length wise, by nature and the bridge rope on the MCRS has 3 to 4 inches on each end sewn to make a stiff bar. This helps to make the recommended anchor bend safer but will no...

    Nice write-up, Gary. Are you still liking it? I have also recently received a MCRS and had my first climb on it today. For some reason I did not have high expectations on being wowed, probably because I have been quite satisfied with my TM. Well I gotta say, I'm wowed! What an...
