I put this system through a bit of abuse over my vacation. I've spent a lot of time up in the air in better and worse equipment. If you're trying to get into saddle hunting and want safe equipment at a lower price, this is a good option.Heck, the sketchy stuff I've seen people get away with (especially the old timers) make this look like silly overkill on quality and safety. There are absolutely higher quality products. However, If your a dad on a budget trying to use a sit and drag backed up with a cheap harness and some ropes you bought at lowes, this is definitely an upgrade.Addendum, the sticks really are very good quality, the engineers just screwed up on the nesting buttons. Remember Jurassic Park and never completely trust equipment no matter who made it.

This is my first go at saddle hunting and for the price this kit will certainly get you in a tree comfortably and safely. First off there is a learning curve to this type of setup. You must be patient and willing to learn. I suggest alot of youtube videos! Take your time and go slow and mythological until you get the hang of it and try multiple hight positions for your tether,it really makes a difference. Once I found what works for my size weight,5'-10" 250lbs, it is very comfortable. The longest sit so far is 5 hours and could have went much longer. My only true complaint is the lineman's rope and tree tether are made of a soft material that scuffs really easy. I will have to replace them after only one season of use. Also a couple of sys haulers would have been a nice compliment to the set. I purchased a set of the "Tactical Molle Drawstring Magazine Dump Pouch" on Amazon for $17 that work really well. All in all a really good setup and the ascender that comes with it works like a charm!

This product broke immediately during initial inspection and testing (as instructed in the owners manual) and was returned. However, it is my sincere belief that it should be destroyed, and the product line removed from the market. I am a former union ironworker and rigger. I also have experience with nautical rigging.First, the metal snaps fixing the insulating layer to the hammock. One of these came apart and was easily sharp enough to cut nylon rope or webbing. A failure like this could have bitter, tragic consequences should a small shard of metal like that encounter a rated climbing rope under load - the load being you.Second, the carabiners. This is a climbing harness intended for use in trees. The standard for life support when scurrying up a tree is the triple locking carabiner. The carabiners used by Hawk are screw gate carabiners. Screw gate carabiners are evidently great on rock walls and in climbing gyms, but have no place in tree work as they have demonstrated a readiness to spin out - unscrew themselves, shift orientation to a side load, and can end up letting go of the line they’re supposed to be holding when the gate fails.Third, the hardware managing the webbing. Mine was sharp, cheap, and installed in such a way as to prevent replacement. Ropes don’t like sharp things. Ropes like smooth, rounded things. This was a budget move by Hawk, and screams disrespect and disregard for the lives of their customers.Can these things be corrected? Absolutely! A good sewing shop with UHMWPE thread can easily help you upgrade your hardware. A descent triple locking 25kn carabiner is only about $30, and three is all you need to replace the three that come with this saddle. Remove the metal snaps and try some polycarbonate options. Of course by the time all this is done the price of the saddle is around 150% of the current price - and much better saddles can be found in that higher bracket.Your life is important. You have people who love you, and a world to impact with the contributions you will make moving forward. I know a cheap option looks great, but do not discount your life, or the lives of those around you who love you and put up with your shenanigans. You’re worth spending a little more if it brings you home safe. As Benjamin Franklin once observed “the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.â€

Bridge made from cheap material. The ascender mechanism makes lots of noise. The safety line is super bulky. The side pouch makes a lot of noise when you take out your ropes. Overall, good for beginners getting into saddle hunting but i would recommend going with a different brand. For the price, not worth it. There's a lot of cheaper brands that will work so much better than this brand.

This saddle kit was supposed to come with a back rest recliner and a carry aid pouch and it did not, everything else in package is great and it came in at a great price but the box is missing the pouch and the back rest. I wish Amazon could do something better for me then just returning the whole kit

This product is exactly what you need to be ready to go tree saddle hunting. I had zero experience and was able to figure this whole set up out after watching a few YouTube videos. Hunted multiple times with hawk helium sticks and a ring of steps to stand on with absolutely no issues. A few times out and most people with get the hang of it! Great product and for substantially less money than the brands all over the internet.
