I've been hunting with my own homemade fleece saddle/ hammock and a climbing safety belt but it's not ideal considering so I saw the LEAKIND hunting saddle/ hammock on Amazon 75$ & it looks like it's pretty decent... your thoughts on this saddle being sufficient for hunter with limited funds for hunting equipment ?

[@Banditsboneyard]

Have you hunted in this yet?

[@Kjklump]

How is this not a CGM saddle, even the print on the molle is similar

[@danyancey]

Cgm is teamed up with ape canyon on this so it basically is. They're 189 on rock n arbors site right now. I'm abiut to pull the trigger on one

[@Kjklump]

@@danyancey well that makes sense then lol. I've used my sidewinder for 2 seasons now and have no complaints.

[@KevinBezold]

You were "due for a saddle after 3 years"?? How long do saddles last?

[@Kjklump]

@@KevinBezold trophy line says 5 years on their saddles, some manufacturers of safety harnesses say 3-5 and REI suggests replacing any climbing gear after 7 years.
