Used it on my first hunt, love everything about the pack. The only reason I give it 4/5 is I'm skeptical about the buckles holding up over time. They seem pretty cheap.
Great saddle, very comfortable. Adjusts to every tree angle well and bridge height so there is very little adjustment once set. My only complaint is the thigh buckles can detach because i prefer running them loose
The brodge system is very nice. Easy to adjust and immediately relieve pressure. Plus extending the bridge all the way out is long enough for me to go over my headand use as suspenders. Not that its really needed because the thing is so light. The belt cinches nicely but loosens a bit when walking. That is basically my only complaint. Was a little nervous because it doesnt seem heavy duty but i thinj thats mainly just because it is borderline unnoticeable when its on.
The only thing is the rope moves under the step.I had to take some really small zipTies and put around the rope on the top edge ofeach side of the step. If the rope moves , this step is un leavel ,side ways . After zip ties no movement,. Other than that , the best aiders I have ever used very sturdy, easy to pack up and put away, easy to use in the dark
