These sticks are incredibly light and bite the tree great. These will make a killer set up with my hyperlite platform and platow pack. Can’t wait to run and gun this fall. Highly recommend them!
I have had a few different platforms. The mission is by far my favorite. I wear a 11.5 boot and it gives me the space I need.
This baby is a game changer on cold and windy days. It makes a huge difference in the amount of time I can spend in my nimbus saddle. The shape is absolutely awesome as well. Another home run by the trophyline crew. Keep up the amazing work guys.
This thing is super comfortable. Nice everyday hat. The stretch fit is nice on my fat head too. Thanks trophyline for making great gear and products.
Just got my this bu dle in the mail! Excited to try it out this fall!
Just received it in the mail!! Looks durable! Cant wait too try it out this fall!
I dont like using a pad, as its something extra up the tree, these are nicely padded and comfy.
I was more than impressed with this Ranger kit. Rarely do products exceed my expectations, this did. I was amazed at how stable my Onyx platform was. Fall can't get here fast enough. I recommend this to everyone!
I finally got out yesterday to do some scouting. Grabbed my new pack and headed out on some new terrain. After an hour or so I got to thinking I should of brought that new pack….DUH I had it on and didn’t realize it. At 79 and the comfort of the Platow Pack I guess I just spaced it out. You people have a winner there. I love it and it’s perfect for saddle hunting. Can’t Thank You enough.
Well made, good embroidery and stitching, and sizes ranges seem spot on.
While the Trophyline Pocket Pull Up Rope may not have mechanical retraction of the hoist line, there is also no mechanism to break, which is always a plus in backcountry hunting. The silicon reel is extremely durable, and features lips on the edge of the reel which not only simply control how the line plays out while you ascend---but also make it easy to wind the line back in once you've brought your bow and/or equipment up. I've attached mine to a round HMS carabiner, attached to a Molle loop on my saddle via a cobra-knotted paracord length, and it allows the reel of the Pull Up Rope to wheel very easily. There are a variety of other creative ways that could be applied to the same effect. Very happy with this, and would recommend it over any of the spring/mechanical retrieval options out there.
Good pack, lots of storage for all my stuff. I bought it primarily for turkey season and the pack provides a lot of good ways to keep things organized, I carry 3 slates w/ 4 strikers, a few mouth calls and a box call. every slate has its own little pouch.Thermacell also fits perfectly in one of the straps that's on the sling, w/ some molly for additional tie downs. Quality of the pack seems to be solid and its been a great addition to my setup. I also like how easy it is to access the pockets while on the move. If i had to give a couple critiques... I wish i could tighten it more so it didn't hang so low on me, zippers are good quality but I'd like for them to be quieter when zipping/unzipping and it'd be cool if there was a way to secure your concealed carry pistol in one of the larger pouches. Mine kind of rotates around slightly as i hike. All in all though, I'd 100% buy it again (especially for the price point) and appreciated the customer service throughout the ownership transition.
I recently purchased a Ranger kit that came ready to hunt. I have never used a saddle before and found this one to be very easy to set up and use. I look forward to using it this upcoming hunting season!!
Definitely thought out design, plenty of room for gear, very satisfied.
Overall the saddle is fantastic, two thumbs up 👍 👍 , although the pouches the pull cord is on the left, when installed on the saddle it would be awesome to have the cord on the right on one of them, right side/left side.
They are lightweight and compact when carrying them and easy to use. They stand away from the tree enough to get a good foothold them. Used them 50+ times already and they still look like new yet.
I have one on my tether and linesman rope and helps moving easier but I still keep a safety rope
Ordered this for my ascender and fits just right and locks safely
