The TX5 system definitely adds some weight. I also have a Kifaru Claymore bag attached to the underside of my seat, but that is currently empty. To be honest, I’m not quite sure why it is coming in at the weight that it is, but I just checked it this morning, and I’m fairly certain that my scale is accurate.
I honestly would not hesitate to go with the TX5 system over the Lonewolf straps and waist belt. It is ridiculous how much nicer the system rides with the TX5. The extra weight is well worth the tradeoff, in my estimation.
What I am asking is he is 14.8 - 3 for sticks = 11.8lbs for a stand, suspension system. He does have a small bag under seat. But he weighs 2.5lbs more. Is it the TX5 suspension?
I found the TX5 system and got it for my Novix Helo. The comfort of it made the price and weight worth it.
My .75 , with 3, 14" doubles with aiders, is 15lbs with an underseat bag. In the bag is the straps for the sticks and a small deer drag
Just saw the post about that today on Facebook. Looks like the combo the “hybrid” guys have been waiting on
Have to admit I am just a little bit tempted. The hunting I almost always end up doing is the rush to get out there right after work or because it’s taking forever to actually leave the house for whatever reason and to have a smaller platform thing I can grab and throw up on the tree quick, is 1 piece, and will also actually let me sit down for real is something I’ve been waiting for.
I couldn't resist and ordered one. I feel like this will head to the woods with me more often than not. I like the idea of being able to use it even as just a small treestand tucked away in some thick areas only a stick or 2 off the ground.
Those are exactly my thoughts too. Let us know what you think of it when you get it. Looks like there’s a bit of wait still.
I just preordered one also. Six weeks they say.
