Was a tough choice betwwen rhisnand the method 3 but this one seemed to be more robust and solid
I’ve only worn this saddle so far while scouting in 100 degree days in Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri and it felt great with my Kifaru frame pack around my waste. The main thing that attracted me to this saddle was that ability to not feel the saddle as I have my backpack waste belt on at the same time. The lineman’s rope with kong duck and carabiner fit in the elastic pouch, as well as the same for my tether, Kong duck, and caribiner in the opposite pouch. The saddle also ventilated great as I was hiking around in those temps. As far as my MOLLE strap and hero clips that I use to hang my bow and pack above my platform, those will store in a side pouch that is attached to my backpack waste belt.
Without having hung in this for an all day hunt yet, this saddle checks all of the boxes for me with respect to mobility and comfort while hiking in. Which I feel is an overlooked aspect in many saddle design/ review videos. They talk about comfort in the tree which is important of course, but what about the guys that wear a frame pack because they’re hiking two-plus miles in, and you have the waste belt constantly pushing down on your saddle bags?
Great job on this design.
Love the new Ronin! No more pouches needed with the new stretch pockets and the mesh seat helps with air flow when walking in while wearing it as well as while up a tree.
I have only used it twice but so far so good. I am excited to put it to work this fall. The tacky bridge is awesome and the built in pockets are what sold me on it (I wish they were a bit wider, but they still work great). The design and construction are clearly top notch. I’m a fan.
This platform is rock solid, once you have it locked in, there is zero play which gives me all the confidence in making the shot count when the time comes.
I like it, but I’ll enjoy it a lot more when my platform gets here.
I love this saddle, it’s comfy for all day sits. It’s well thought out and has all the needed features.
Light and compact. Can’t wait to put it to use!
High quality and lightweight. Although I've only owned for about two weeks, I'm very pleased with it so far and haven't had the opportunity to evaluate its long-term performance.

One suggestion for Timber Ninja Outdoors: since I purchased the saddle just two weeks before today's sale, I would greatly appreciate it if you would honor the current sale price by providing a $52.50 store credit. That gesture would go a long way toward reinforcing excellent customer service and earning my future business.
I knew I always wanted more back support for longer sits, yet didn’t know how much I wanted or needed it until now. After learning how to properly adjust the lower and upper support padding/backing, I am now realizing how much better and more comfortable I would have felt on my longer day sits. It has helped so much with saddle pinch on the hips by distributing the pull on the back, which is a good thing…especially for someone like myself with a bad lower back.
Absolutely love this platform and the extra foot room it provides! It’s exactly what I have been looking for and allows me to turn and maneuver with ease for my weak side shots. It’s lightweight and setup is also a breeze!
New saddle hunter here. Transitioning from a climber, love how compact, light and comfortable this saddle is. It’s making the switch easy. All the products I’ve purchased have also been very well packaged. It being a Nc company makes it even better.
Great quality rope and works as it should.
There is a reason this thing has the titles it has.
I’ll never be the guy that says a saddle is just as or more comfortable than a climber, but when you head miles back on Appalachian public land having a tool that doesn’t break your back makes up for that. I could easily sit all day in this saddle regardless and I’m kicking myself in the butt for not getting it sooner.
I’ve owned many saddles but nothing compares to this guy!
My dad has a Sitka turkey vest and they look just alike,but a honest review it has lived up to its hopes only make a more comfortable seat and do not make it fold
I like the adjustment of the saddle and how lightweight it is. It is very comfortable for a long set.
Very well engineered product!! It is Rock steady on a tree and handle side load easily.
