With the most innovative hunter focused features and designs all packed into the most comfortable saddle known to man this is my forever saddle. 100%
I’ve enjoyed the saddle so far regarding both comfort, weight, and usability. I don’t have much to compare to as it’s my first one. I did have some minor (non-safety related) stitches pop for which I contacted customer service and they replaced my saddle ASAP based on the pictures even though cosmetic.
I don’t like the design of the straps on the sides which are for holding straps as they’re very easy to lose.
It’s a 4.5/5 for me, very close to 5/5. First use was on a marsh scouting and supply run in appx 28° weather. Ripping 30mph on glass to our spot left tears which froze on my lashes. Tested without gloves or liners and my hands were more than comfortable in that wind. Pockets are solid for basics like keys, license, some shells, and phone. I have three verrrry small nitpicks which make up the half-star. 1- Love the green, but would like a few more color options. 2- the openings for your hands are good, not perfect for those with big hands. Given there’s an awesome cinch to narrow the size a little extra here would have been nice. If I try to use this with even thinner gloves, I’m not getting in one-handed. 3- durability concerns (tbd), I can see the soft fuzzy material getting roughed up when climbing trees for saddle, or poking through marsh to get to a good vantage point. Keep up the good work TN!
Between the Kunai platform and these steps. Makes climbing the tree and setting the platform a breeze.
Just delivered today. Absolutely a great design, precisely made and right here in the USA!
Great for keeping noise down light wight
I've got no shortage of climbing sticks, but a few things stand out with these.
1. The magnetic attachment style to stack them as 2's or 4's pending your pack layout is the slickest and quietest on the market
2. Not fully confirmed yet, but unlike other very expensive sticks, I don't think I will have to stealth tape the entire thing for them to be acceptably quiet
3 Thoughtful small features like the elastic bunjee on the end of the amsteel strap to emliminate loose tag ends as well as the glowing caps on each end of the stick
Top tier product.
Quality of SSP is excellent, need to get past this ice storm to do some field testing for an honest review.
I needed to lighten my setup and I decided to start with sticks. I was about to checkout with a set of 1 sticks. In effort to avoid a ton of stealth stripping, I returned to the C2s. I am so glad I went this direction. I have made probably 10-15 sits with them with. All I have done is Tessa tape the magnets and I have no problems staying quiet. I’m 165 and wear a 9-1/2 boot. These sticks give me enough room to be comfortable climbing. There is a slight give in the steps but it doesn’t bother me at all. They don’t feel weak. Lastly these things bite well. The picture tells all. That is a metal bolster with no slip and no damage to the teeth
I ordered these as soon as they came out on the website, and it was just in time to receive them for the end of PA rifle season which was nice and cold! I let the kids use them first. Their review was that they actually worked. It was the first time my buddies daughter didn’t get cold feet in the morning, which was 14 degrees for the first 5 hours of the hunt before we started drives.
They are light and very easy to get your boot inside, especially compared to previous boot insulators I’ve tried. Nice and quiet material on the sides. I can’t wait to try them out in the late season and see how they work while I’m hunting out of my saddle and standing on the platform. Also the little pouch inside works great for putting a large body warmer inside!!
It’s nice to see a hunting company put the time and effort into putting a great product out there for hunters!! Thank you!!
Haven’t used yet on a hunt. But super solid construction and so much adjustment. I couldn’t make myself uncomfortable in a tree at home.
Light weight and works amazing! No more cold feet ! Home run Timber Ninja!!!
HUGE improvement over my artic shield boot covers I was using. These are quiet, lighter weight, more packable and work better
I like it haven’t used it yet.
Only used once so far, but there just what you’d expect! Warm and not bulky as well as very packable and easy to put on.
Fantastic handwarmers on steroids! Besides being warm, they have excellent storage for essential items as well as a couple different methods of attachment. Very well thought out.
They are built well and the quality is great . Don’t get me wrong this isn’t a bash on them they just need some fine tuning . They aren’t the easiest to put on in a saddle , a stand might be different but I saddle hunt. The foot pad that you would grip the stand with is fairly slick and will allow you to slide if you are putting side pressure of the platform . The little plastic snap also like to come undone if you pull the cord to tight . Lastly but not the worst just could be better is that they aren’t as warm as other brands , they are the worst I’ve used but for the money I think they could be better .
I have all three pouches on my saddle , I like them better than the collapsible bags that don't hold their shape. they are easy to access and close with one hand. I would like the side pouches to be a little deeper for my ropes. over all they are worth the money.
Inspection of product on arrival excellent. It arrived on the last day of muzzleloader season in my home state, New York. When the weather breaks a little I will do some none hunting testing for set ups.
So far my only issue is the lack of attachment instructions. I have watched videos on it, but would be very helpful to have information shipped with product. Looking forward to years of use.
