One thing that I've noticed is that European saddles tend to have less padding and less rings/ snaps sewn into the saddle, and that's why I'm leaning towards getting the glide.
Which European harness are you talking about? oops just read again...Navaho
The Komet has three big loops, two rings, and space to add a bent gate crab on each hip.
The Edelrid has six gear loops, two rings and comes with a crab on the right hip.
Padding...yes the Komet could use some more on the hips but the width on both is more than adequate...mind you I'm only 115lbs soaking wet!
