Excellent seat. The wide base is incredibly comfortable for all-day work. Setup was straightforward and the build quality is exactly what you'd expect from Petzl.

Been using this for 6 months now. Super comfortable for long canopy sessions. Only wish it came with the shackles included at this price point.

Fast shipping from Climb Higher and the seat is top notch. The adjustable width feature is a game changer for different harness setups. Highly recommend.
