This saddle has everything I was looking for in a single paddle. Everything about this saddle was thought out for real world hunters. The tacky bridge allows me to make micro adjustments and not worry about my bridge slipping. It’s extremely lightweight and breathable which is great for early bow season when the temps are in 90s. The best part of the whole saddle for me is the platform and stick carriers that’s integrated onto the saddle.
I came from a big name brand saddle to Timber Ninja. So glad I did. No longer need a back band to get in my way. It’s so light I can’t even notice it’s on when hiking in/out. The bridge system is outrageously adjustable. Zero hip pinch. The platform holder on the back is a real game changer. Everything about this saddle is so well thought out and perfectly executed. I’m 6’1” 240 with a 34” waist and I ordered the XL because I don’t skip leg day and it fits perfect. All day sit approved. This saddle is legit.
Just received my Kunai and wow this thing is light, stable and solid on the tree.
I didn’t notice any flex on this platform and it’s extremely flatline. The amsteel rope attachment is really nice with no metal parts to make noise.
This is one of the most advanced hybrid platforms out there…This is the first purchase from Timber Ninja I have made on any of their gear and I would definitely recommend the KUNAI!
The saddle is very comfortable. I had a Cuzr XC before and it was very comfortable too, but the TN is a notch better. I didn’t like the side pouches that I bought with it though. The zipper gets stuck when fully open and I couldn’t zip it back up with one hand.
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!
