This kit includes 2X Mechanical Ascenders (Choice Ropeman 1 or Ropeman 4), Saddle hunting Knee Pads (Choice between standard or deluxe), and a saddle back band. Two Ascenders make the climb up and tether adjustment while hunting on both saddle system ropes a breeze over a standard prusik that comes with most systems including Trophyline's 8mm Tech core and Trophyline's 11mm Tether/Lineman's Rope.( Important** Ropeman 1 fits 10-13mm size rope, Ropeman 4 fits 8-13mm size rope). The Back band and knee pads take the pressure off your back and knees on long or all day sits, drastically enhancing comfort.
