Saddle Hunting

[Turkeyslayer]

I was looking to get into saddle hunting but wasn’t to sure what brand I wanted did a fair bit of research and it looks like I might go with the cruiser. any input would be greatly appreciated

I have the Cruzr XC and really like it. If you plan to wear it while walking or hang/hook your sticks to your saddle while climbing, I suggest getting a pair of suspenders.

I suggest a 2 panel.  I liked my Method 2 XL.  I would also say get the XL version of any saddle even if your not XL much more comfy

Saddle hunting is a great tool. But like a bow or gun it is not “one size fits all.”  Tried a Cruzr XC, did not like it.  Felt like I had too much junk in the trunk. Tried a couple 2 panel harnesses, did not like it. Personally I like a single panel.  Best saddle I used was a Cruzr “S” saddle, not made anymore. 
 

So the short of it is you have to be able to try many before you can get the perfect fit for you. But the saddle is a great tool.

If you can, go to the Harrisburg show in February. All of the main saddle companies are there and you can check out and try on their products.

Try and sit in a few saddles before buying one even used .

everyone has a different take on what’s. Comfortable for them . And they are not cheap .

I personally think a 2 panel saddle is 10 times more comfortable than a single panel .

other guys hate them as they don’t want to be doing a lot of adjustments or want to wear the saddle in etc .

Actually right now I do not even have a saddle. I am looking to pick up either a TX5 Rayder or an Ape Canyon.  This past season I just used my hang on for my mobile set up.
