Bought my set up after Black Friday haven’t used it yet but everything came in with super nice boxing and all product looked great! Cant wait to put it to use next hunting season!
Recently purchased this saddle after wearing a Phantom for years.
Does not disappoint! True comfort and build!
Let me start off with I have been looking at the Sling Pack for a couple years now as a lite season solution. Now that I have it in my possession, I wish I would have pulled the trigger sooner. As I transition to a lighter more mobile hunting style this new pack is going to be a great asset to the hunting arsenal. I do wish the outer fabric was made of quieter material.
These sticks are quite a bit heavier then I expected them to be, but they get the job done. I would highly recommend purchasing the amsteel daisy chain instead of using the provided straps. They're definitely worth the money.
This is a good entry level platform. I'm new to this so it could be me but it seemed like it was a little bit more difficult to get this platform locked onto a tree without moving. I only noticed this when I tried turning around to face away from the tree and my feet were pushing it from the side. The platform would start moving around the tree. It does seem a lot lighter than I expected it to be, which is very nice.
I'll start out with fit. I'm 6 ft tall and about 210 lb and the M/L saddle fits me perfectly. I haven't used it a ton but I haven't noticed any discomfort with it.
The lineman and tether ropes (I received the red ones) work great but I would say that they are a lot bulkier than I expected. Their stiffness make it slightly more difficult to pack into the pouches but on a positive note I have zero trust issues with them with regards to durability. The brown ones shown in the kit now seem like they would be quite a bit thinner than the red ones I received.
The pouches and bridge are great, not much more to say about them.
Overall I would highly recommend this kit to anyone that wants to get into mobile hunting.
I was contemplating going with a different pack but I'm glad I went with the Platow Pack. It has plenty of room for everything you could possibly need and it is so much less bulky than most other packs.
The rival sticks don't really hold themselves together, these get the job done.
Stealthiness is key and these are completely silent and weigh virtually nothing.
This is the best bino harness harness I’ve owned. Fits my large 12x50 binos perfectly and I like the way the top opens outward. Would not change anything about them.
I really wanted to love this, it is pretty unique and I thought it would be perfect for small game hunting. I used it once so far and the only complaint I have is that the buckles are super squeaky. Like you can’t walk quietly through the woods and sneak up on anything because of how loud they are. I tried to adjust it in a lot of ways, but couldn’t find a way to quiet them. I might try some gun oil next time, or possibly just replace the buckles. Everything else was as good as I hoped.
Very comfortable saddle, only thing that needs to be changed is the saddle pouch. Top tier saddle with lowest tier pouch.
I love the kit. Everything is very high quality. The pack with all the equipment feels great to wear. I am new to saddle hunting. The climbing experience does feel sketchy. However, I have had no issue or accident yet. I am excited to one day use this system to harvest wild game.
My only critique is my experience at point of sale. I purchased the kit for 40% off. Before my order had shipped I noticed the kit went on sale for 60% off. None of the kit I ordered had shipped yet.
Regardless, I had no option to cancel the order. I was not able to apply the new discounted price to my current order.
Every other point of sale experience I have ever had would have allowed me to apply the discount to my purchase or cancel my original order.
The only option customer service gave me was to purchase another kit. Allow the 1st order to ship. Pay to then return the 1st order.
For someone who is not going long distances into public land these are perfect.
