What do you want to know about the Tethrd Mantis?

@g2outdoors and @Erniepower, I just wanted to let you guys know that you are responsible, not only for my becoming a saddle hunter, but for my wife agreeing to MORE hunting time this upcoming season. When I told her about the gear I'm expecting and the spectacular test results, she said "I guess I've got to let you really hunt now, huh?" LOL
In all seriousness, thank you guys for making it so easy for a new guy to get into saddle hunting safely, and with minimal effort to acquire all of the necessary gear. You're awesome!
 
So this will be my first saddle and not sure exactly if I'm a sitter or a leaner and I'm between sizes. 34-35 pant and pretty in shape. Should I go with the medium? I'm just worried about winter months packing on layers in Kentucky and being squeezed with the medium.

Any help is appreciated!!

Large if I was to guess

Correct. You can get away with a medium but large will provide much more flexibility with clothing and sitting positions. I always tell people “when in doubt size up”. I expect most male adult hunters will be happiest in a large.

Question about the mantis


You guys are keeping it cleaner than my brain did. When I first saw the SYS hauler my first thought was store your s#@!

I think the SYS stands for “store your stuff”

SBH probably stands for something “butt heater”

I'm going to go out on a limb and say sbh stands for "saddle butt heater"

Do the leg straps secure with just that hook type connection or are there other options / more "secure" ways to keep the leg straps from coming off? I use one of those type hooks on my sticks to hold them to the stand and each other as I climb, but not sure how well they would stay in place when climbing or if you stand and move around if the straps are not tight to start with. My climbing harness has small buckles so the straps can be a little looser most of the time.
 
If I merged my orders, does it delay my initial predator purchase in May to go out later with my June purchase of The Mantis? I would prefer to have the predator as soon as I can, I only merged orders because I thought it would be easier, but now Im worried ordering the Mantis and merging orders is delaying my Predator delivery?

They should stay in place pretty well. That’s a pretty wide strap. Some people will remove the leg straps completely.

My understanding is that, once merged, the predator will ship in the same box as the mantis. They'll both be delayed until the mantis or Zipcam strap arrives, whichever comes last. We just have to be patient.
 
Yeah.... I'm curious about that. I'm a tater eaten big guy myself and I volunteer to give it a go!
I was 320 lbs when I first found out about saddles in like May. Now I'm about 295, so i think it's got the bill.
