The saddle gives you all around comfort hip pitch is not a thing . And it has a lot of thought put into it. Can’t wait to to get my hands on the platform or the c2 .. awesome company don’t forget all made in the USA 🇺🇸 baby
As advertised, the 2 panel saddle is the way to go. It was definitely an upgrade from last year's saddle. The quality appears to be what I expected. Haven't hunted with it yet but will try and update this review after a season. Stoked to put some hours in it.
Super comfy.... works as advertised definitely need slim sticks that fit tight together for the mudfalp to work comfortably.
This was first time I have purchased a saddle from Timber Ninja. As soon as I put my hands on it I was immediately impressed with their attention to details. I don’t believe you can make a “fiddle free” set up but this one is close. I like the ability to cinch the 2 panels together when walking through the woods so that it feels more like a belt than a diaper. Very comfortable sitting which allows me to move less in the tree once I’m set up. Good Job!
It seems to be good quality and well built. I do have a problem trying to zip it closed. I guess it’s do to the angle and the zipper.
Comfortable lightweight saddle for those that wish to pack lightweight yet not sacrifice comfort
It seems a bit pricey but it’s quality so you get what you pay for. Nothing to do with this model specifically but I think the 3 step aiders are not that great to use and should only be used occasionally if you need to get really high for some reason. I left that out of my rating because I assume if you are buying this you want a 3 step aider.
This pouch is very nice size and well built. The water resistant zipper is a nice touch but I found it very difficult to use one handedly.
Have not hunted out of it yet……. Gave it a test drive with a couple sticks and platform tonight. I have not totally figured out the adjustments of the lower portion. It seems that there is going to be a feature that is more of a micro adjustment than one that is a large adjustment. The saddle bags are well designed and in the right location. Will need to plan out where everything will go. My other saddle I only had two pouches. While I could stuff a lot in them it was a pain because I was constantly fighting to keep them open and fighting with the draw string closures. I really like the stick clip systems wish there was a fourth so I could hang three sticks and my platform off me for getting up and down the tree. Wish that the bridge color was different from the ropes.
Love the saddle so comfortable. Can't wait for some all day sits
This Nalgene bottle holster is high quality. I put mine on a exo K4 3600 pack. I like having designated places for gear organization so this is a no brainer. The cinch down cord works great to keep your bottle from dumping out while you creep up on your prey. There is a whole in the bottom for drainage as well. This pouch can also be used for saddle rope storage or for extra handy stuff. The durable material should last many years.
Can't wait to use them this season and not be carrying around my old bulky ones!
Love it guys. So much better than stock attachment for my platform.
I've graduated in the saddle game and bought the Nano a year ago. Been a saddle hunter since 2011 after reading "Bow Hunting Pressured Bucks". Now that I'm more serious about mountain Hunting I decided to retire the old ass clunky Tiberline. So Glad I did, it reduced my weight significantly in the pack. 7.8 lbs. total with saddle, platform, rope, belay device, one stick, bow hanger and carabineers (One stick method)!!! I was able to use it to retrieve a neighbors tarp that blew 40 ft. up in my tree and feel very comfortable. It's so nice I have also used it at a get together with non hunters for a fun activity to climb and repel down trees. There's a small pinch in the saddle compared to the 2 panel but in my opinion the hands down best option for the minimalist all day Hunter.
Just as secure as a buckle strap without the added weight or potential noise. I like the minimalist design which fits my hunting style.
Gift card was in my inbox faster than I could say post-season blues. I have no doubt this will help me keep my eyes on the prize while I prep for 2025.
