Latitude Maverick Saddle - Best Budget Saddle?

[@TheBowhunter_Project]

Wow can’t beat that, esp for the price

[@NextStepOutdoors]

It is a solid choice

[@AsocPaladin0016]

I have the classic and love it. How does it compare to that? It seems thinner from what I can see. Do you think it will be as durable long term?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

It is really well built. It will be more comfortable due to the 4" webbing though for sure.

[@CarolinaTinesOutdoors]

If you had to choose. Which latitude would you pick? I have the method 2 and ca not get comfortable, the Lonestar looks really bulky, and the maverick is the closest to what I ran for years which is the AeroHunter kestrel

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I'd get the Mav. Best bang for your buck. I have that and the Lonestar. Switching back to the Macerick for my Kansas rut trip.

[@connor4036]

I’m curious about your thoughts on the upcoming Lonestar Saddle. How do you think it will compare to the Maverick in terms of comfort, especially for those long, all-day sits?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I haven’t sat in it yet but seems like it’s the Cadillac of single panel saddles. Super feature rich and I’d imagine will be one of the most comfortable saddles on the market. I’m going to pick one up and get a review posted soon.

[@CWK_Outdoors]

Wondering who makes that dump pouch with the retractable haul line. Please share. Thanks for a great review!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Custom gear modifications makes that pouch!

[@CWK_Outdoors]

Thanks!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

You bet!

I don't even use a saddle but want one of these.

I think it’s good for tx5 to join the team and believe the tx5 minimalist is best ultra light hybrid saddle and I don’t even own one. I should have bought the Method 2 as I think a two piece is best for straight saddle hunting again even though I didn’t buy one like I should have. I have a CGM Cobra and it’s a one piece saddle. I can collapse mine to about 6in and I have my thoughts on one piece saddles. I think they are comfortable if you combine them with a back band. I think ones pieces are all relatively he same thought with minor differences between them. If I was looking for budget choice this would be one the contenders. I think now the innovation has to come in price of the new saddles not so much the functionality. One pieces are one pieces and two are two but not major enough changes to make one wildly different then the others more of a Ford, Chevy, Dodge argument. The kicker would be a super high quality saddle with all the bells and whistles for a cheaper price and not quite sure how you’d do that??? Another good review though!!!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

You’re the second person to say something about the minimalist. I’d venture to guess if it is that highly regarded, latitude will push something like that in the future. You’re right tho, nothing earth shattering about any of the new saddles across the market but that 4” webbing makes a noticeable different in my opinion.

[@pathfinder5804]

@@NextStepOutdoors Sadly at first I fell into the trying to buy what I could save a few $$$ on. The buy once cry once motto should have been my course. I’m on 2nd set of sticks and 2nd platform. I live in northeast and it’s hard to try saddle gear out before buying so because of that I did try to pinch a few pennies. Should have bought Method 2 cuz I’ve added back band to make saddle comfortable for long sits where two panel would have done that from start. Now I want an arsenal platform for packability so 3rd there. However now that I’ve switched to traditional bow a hybrid setup is the way I’m going. Can’t comfortably shoot one out of saddle yet. The minimalist really best I’ve seen for that purpose. Curious to see what latitude does goin forward.

[@puiia7]

Thoughts on the maverick vs the nimbus from trophy line?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I can’t give you a definitive answer because I haven’t tried the nimbus.

[@TrevorC2.0]

Who makes that bow hoist though?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Doyle’s!

[@aidan38573]

How would you say the Maverick compares to something like the Cruzr xc if you have any experience with that saddle?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I haven’t tried the Cruzr but I’d bet it would be tough to find a saddle that is as comfortable as the Mav at that price point.

[@TheSmolderingFlame]

I currently have a Tethrd Phantom.. i hate the hip pinch in it.. Have you used a phantom and if so how does this Maverick compare?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I haven’t used a phantom for a long time but before you go switching saddles, watch this video and play around a bit. Might save you the money and hassle of switching. The Ultimate Guide for Saddle Hunting Comfort... kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6iwqnyYea2Ee5o

[@robertlocke7711]

Looks like an ESS in a single panel form. Should work good for single panel users.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Simple and effective

[@AustinYost]

Where did you get the bow hoist bag?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

@@AustinYost that’s from custom gear modifications!

No leg straps?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

They are removable. I typically don’t use them.

[@BaitsNBucks]

yessir!

[@328am]

I'm not a brand loyalist but the Sidewinder from Custom Gear Modifications is $9 less and has more features...

[@Labradorslobber]

9 bucks. I could almost buy a sandwich with that.

@@Labradorslobber not in todays economy! 🙃

😂😂😂

[@urbanarcher3535]

Wait there’s not any straps that come up through your legs

[@NextStepOutdoors]

They are removable!! Every saddle comes with them.

[@urbanarcher3535]

I see that now, I had to go to their website to make sure. I figured you’d at least mention that in the review that’s all.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

@@urbanarcher3535 I should have. I never use them so it was an oversight on my side...

[@Stykbow]

TX5 minimalist is far superior. Tell Matt to make you guys something like that. So thankful I have a bunch of TX5 stuff left. Running the minimalist and I have the method 2. Name a better combo. You can’t.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I’ll have to check that out!

[@Stykbow]

@@NextStepOutdoors TX5 is no longer in business. Latitude acquired the Owner tho Matt to work for them. The stuff they will be coming out with will be the best in the business. Other than lone wolf platforms and stands…latitude is the best company out for the other stuff.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

@@Stykbow Oh I knew that, I just meant looking into what the minimalist design looked like. I got to hang with Matt a little bit at the mobile hunter expo in michigan a few weeks ago! Great guy. Excited to see what him and the rest of the latitude team come up with.

[@Stykbow]

@@NextStepOutdoors wouldn’t surprise me if Matt would make something for you. He’s like that.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Seems like a good dude for sure!

[@bromma1979]

It doesn't look very secure....if you flip or slip there is nothing holding you to it ...

[@NextStepOutdoors]

There are leg straps you can attach. I do not use them though. I'm not sure it would be possible to slip through even without them.
