    Considering upgrade from Phantom and would like some opinions if you’ve already purchased one of these. Worth the upgrade?

    Soreness after first day in the saddle...

    Soreness after first day in the saddle...

    Used Saddle for First Setup?

    This is what I took from it. Their flagship saddle and the platform they say is made, tested and inspected in the US. The syshaulers are made in China. Says so on package. I'm sure thats not the only accessory made offshore. But the two main pieces according to their website are not. They...

    Used Saddle for First Setup?

    Well, according to Tethrd, the Phantom and the Predator Platform are made in USA. Seems like buying one new one would still be a lot cheaper than buying 6 used ones regardless of the brand. Source: Tethrd site -> Customer Support -> F.A.Q.'s How are you making your saddles? We’ve partnered...

    Used Saddle for First Setup?

    This will be my first season in a saddle as well. Those were my concerns as I was looking for a setup. I broke down and bought everything new from Tethrd. It’s a hard hit on the wallet but my thoughts are, I know what I’m getting, no worries about prior use/wear. Just peace of mind for me that...

    What packs are you using to take gear to stand?

    I dont want to carry much, trying to stay light as possible, but have a few items i would carry in my gear bags that attached to my climber. Trying to figure out best way to pack them. Was looking at Tenzing Cinch waist pack. Are there better options...

    Why 2 sets of teeth for Predator Platform?

    First time in the saddle was comfy, but wow it was hot! 91 degrees... so I only went up 8 feet and didnt stay long. I need to practice with sticks and practice shooting out of it, but it felt safe, and honestly think it's as comfortable or more than any hang-on. Maybe not summit climber comfy...

    Why 2 sets of teeth for Predator Platform?

    Got my Predator today and it came with 2 different pieces to use for top and I can’t figure out why? One black one unpainted aluminum just like rest of platform. Black one looks slightly taller from teeth to base where to bolts to the platform. Anyone know why there are 2 pieces? Obviously only...
