Your turn to make Peppy jealous sooner than later...
Round two may not be needed after all. First night went well and this did slot in about right- not quite as big as the Luxury/Big Guy- but just enough bigger than the medium to make a difference and slot in between them with no shoulder pinch and plenty enough room for a fella my size.

Can't put up too many publicly as this is a brand new way to build bridges. And won't get too optimistic until the 100 day tests are done but so far so good.
I'll probably sleep in this olive one for the next five nights just to be sure and send you the black one from this batch middle of next week.
But it meets the goals of offering a wider model, cheaper construction and still enough pop to belly sleep with no negative back pressure.

One 'failure' at this point... It was liking a 14' apex to apex distance with not much room to improve it. I was able to get the medium sized 'Just a Bridge' to the 12' mark, but I can't figure a way just yet to get this down without screwing excess compression onto the bars. Since trying to keep this in the 225-250 range it's not worth pushing it... especially if keeping the CF pole option in mind. Always a trade off someplace unfortunately.
On the plus side though...
15.125 ounces with the RL and Carbon Fiber pole set is mighty impressive for a bridge this size with this many sleep position options.
Perhaps more exciting... that makes it a hair under 20 ounces with 3/4" Aluminum poles.
That's a very competitive weight without having to add in a $100 set of CF poles to do it.
One of the primary goals was to produce something more affordable than my Premium models for those who don't need the very best but still want their money's worth. This is a nice step in that direction if it pans out.
Much like Just a Bridge... I'll personally test it for 30 days or so and then work on expanding testing from there.
But could potentially get this moving by late spring/summer if all goes well.
Worth cracking a good one for... cheers!
