This was my 1st ever saddle purchase was able to hunt all of archery and rifle here in PA. I will say the saddel itsellf in the tree was very comfortable however it does not like to stay up on your waist when you are walking to you setup which is inconvenient and a hassel to constantly tighten it. I am very unhappy with the quality of material asit has started to wear just after 1 season! I expected this to last multiple seasons but its already falling apart after one i would not recommend
This was a great update to my DIY Predator rope tether. It's so much lighter and easier to pack into my gear pouch!
I'm not typically a fan of single strap Saddle stands. But, the Onyx platform is rock solid. I've attached to trees of varying diameters and species since receiving it. And I haven't felt the need to attach strap yet.
Keeps the steps secure and no rattle. Works great with the double steps
This back band does the job. makes you that much more comfortable up in the tree for long sits
this kit is great, comes with the best dump pouches out there and 8mm ropes. lightweight and comes in the killer bottomland camo!
This ropeman 1 does the job, it just works. makes things in the tree that much easier.
It's hard to avoid in the industry, but the prussic knot needs to go please. I've been in a number of saddles, some even standing on the ground after testing and STILL can't adjust the bridge length - at least not without serious elbow grease. Surely there is a better way than the prussic. Heck, even the schwabish is better, it at least considers moving when you want it to.
Quiet, quick, easy. Not sure what else you need. I use it for rolling thick layers of clothes up for hikes in and keeping my stick and platform together.
Really light, really strong. Can pack both ropes in same pouch easy. I consider this an upgrade
I am not one to constantly "upgrade" equipment. Once I find something that fills the need, I concentrate on all the other aspects of the task. Like being more scent free or quieter in the woods. I have carried all four with me on my Sumpter pack late this season more than 2 miles into public over very rugged terrain and once on the tree of choice, they bite hard and feel super strong. 55 years old, 225 lb and I am loving it!!
I have been using a tactical pack for my one-sticking and knew I was missing out as my pack was not "made for" mobile hunting. This pack is very well made, I have not been able to over stuff it yet and with my sticks, platform and other hunting tools, it weighs in at just under 40 pounds. Super comfortable and adjustable in every way. I have not had to pack out any quarters yet as both of my kills this year were close enough to my camp to not require it, but knowing there is a way to pack out as well is comforting. No regrets!!
I purchased this platform along with new sticks and a an internal frame pack after using a one-stick for two seasons. The increased area to place my feet and maneuver for shots was a welcome advantage for me. Its grip on the tree is excellent and I look forward to a full season in 2026 using this new tool!!
I bought several of these. Perfect strap! They work great for sticks.
I have two of these. They are well made, and are going to be a perfect fit for what I need them for.

Only used once before season was over. Liked that it’s so light. I did have some trouble on the tree I was in with the hump on the post. Not the biggest issue but kept it from getting as tight as it could’ve been. Looking forward to using it next season.
Great pack, no complaints here. Side straps are perfect for carrying sticks
This right is going to be an asset as Im attempting to reduce from my large Badlands 2200 pack. I hunt a lot of public land and im looking to go farther in and away from others. This thigh rig will allow me to distribute gear in a comfortable way.
I bought this at XMas sales and haven't had a chance to use it. I have my concerns on the D ring clip but I'll give it a shot next season
Best sticks around. A lot of foot room and grip very well. No slip or kick. The saddle is comfortable. I recommend buy the back rest as well. Had everything I needed to climb. I also bought a backpack. The new owner of Trophyline (also owner of Hunter Safety Systems) delivered great customer service. My backpack ripped a little and the level screw on my platform stripped. He explained to me he had just bought the company. The machine that drills the holes for the level screw likely wasn't changed out when it was supposed to be. (This is before he bought the company). Also he said the people he has to sow stiches are held to a very high standard and i shouldn't see any rips on future products like i did with the backpack.
