Does the belt float in the sleeve or is it stitched? Just bought one but hoping I can slide the belt out and replace with a rope belt.

The rope belt is one of the reasons i love my latitude saddle. I recently purchased a lonestar 2.0 which as you know has buckles. I would love to make a latitude belt ,is there a video on how to tie the knots and what would you use for rope??

I think latitude uses oplux and CGM uses a 6mm line if I remember correctly. I'm not sure on a video but Latitude uses an adjustable bend knot

Well, we have moved into full rut mode in the northern states.
Thoughts change any on this?
Any all day sits so far?

Bunch of talk about rut in North, but at least here it’s definitely not started. Delayed scraping and rubbing because of the high temps, it’s dialing up for sure but no day time movement of bucks yet. Today was absolutely dead from dawn to dusk, which usually happens after the heavy rubbing, and a few days to a week before rut. So I think we’re getting close. That or I’m just getting old and the spots I hunt are not cool hookup places anymore.

So either you guys are all out hunting in them or sold them? Any reviews after hunting in them for a while?

I've got probably 25 hours in mine since getting it. This saddle checks all the boxes for me. Carries extremely well, very comfortable and I really like the new bridge design. I honestly can't find anything that has been annoying or a con to me. Using a ROS straddling the tree I have zero issues on any discomfort.. honestly more comfy than any of the other 15 saddles I've used.

I wasn't sold at first but I like mine and have about 12 hunts in it. one deer.

It is super comfortable, to the point that I no longer use a back band. Only complaints I have are related to the ridiculously long belt, leg straps and sternum straps. But those can all be cut.

Good call on the straps. That was my first/only complaint. I didn’t trim the extra 18in from each of mine and just forgot about it. I’ll probably trim them now that I know I’ll keep it long term

Todays the first daylight to dark sit in the lockdown this year. Most comfortable saddle on the market, imo. It’ll be a long time before I even look at another saddle to buy. Best saddle made right now, imo. I do have the XL so it has a lot more fabric than the regular and makes it more comfortable for me.

I don't know how I missed this. This now has my attention. I'd be interested in seeing further 1st hand experiences after a full season. Love the pouches. I wish they were removable.
