NO THANK YOU........

On a hunting saddle there's also zero metal. The only metal on them is the COBRA buckles, though some use an alpine, and the leg strap hooks.

Where the D rings are on the side is replaced with heavy duty webbing that forms the loops for the lineman and bridge loops.

When your climbing you won't get hip pinch because you are basically sitting like you would in a swing, all the weight is on your butt. In a saddle when you are at height, your tether is coming off the tree at a 45-80* degree angle. So when you're leaning or sitting on the platform, your pressure now is going more sideways into your hips. Hunting saddles aren't stiff and padded like arborist saddles so that brings hip pinch into play because the saddles are soft so you can get a bit squeezed.

There's been a lot of advancements in saddles to help with comfort, different materials, placements of materials, two panel saddles, there's one that they lump in with saddles called the jx3 hybrid which is to me a hang on that faces the tree instead away from it, lends itself more to gun/crossbows than a bow.
