yeah i did the same thing about 3 weeks ago and ive used it 3 times i believe and the mesh seat is AWESOME, i love it. It is extremely comfortable. It can be a little loud climbing up, well louder than a summit.I havnt experianced any slipping or anythinglike that. Even though its supposed to be a sit and climb system i cant seem to use it that way, i still have to stand up to do it for some reason. I geuss im just weird[8D] lol
