Dryad hit it out of the park with this Drey saddle!!!! By far the most comfortable saddle I’ve ever used. And team it up with the lwcg .5 and u have a deadly combo
There is a good review on YouTube that includes some shooting. But the drey has had major upgrades since that was posted. Also I’ve never sat in a jx3. Sitting to standing to shooting is a cinch. The support of the hammock allows you to shoot from really weird positions without using your core muscles. It’s very comfortable and weighs a fractions of what jx3 does. It’s really well thought out.I looked quick and didnt see any videos showing someone going from a sitting to shooting and swinging. Again I looked really fast as im sure there are some out there. I love my JX3 but was wondering how the difference is from that to the Drey?

Check out that video from @valerio024 . As for JX3 vs Drey there are more similarities than differences. I feel like in the JX3 I have to plan my setup like a hang on stand with cover & shooting lanes. You can make all the shots in both but what you gain in the chair like aspect of the JX3 you give up in flexibility for quick positioning. I don’t run the drey as a stand-alone but attached to my kite ( I found everything before deploying the hammock was better for me than the waist belt) the drey is really functioning as a giant back and with a bridge. All the shots are the same as your traditional saddle. Sitting to standing is the same as your doing now. If your arms & shoulders are inside the hammock you will need to lower the prussics & get some slack before going for your bow, but no big deal. I like them both but if I said you could put your JX3 in a Fanny pack at 20 percent of the weight it’s worth considering. I still believe the JX3 is more comfortable than the drey. but I love the saddle feel of the drey & it’s enough of a comfort upgrade that it’s an excellent option.I looked quick and didnt see any videos showing someone going from a sitting to shooting and swinging.

The harness is minimalistic rock hardness like. It’s really different. The hammock is worth it. So comfortable. You are literally just chillin in a hammock.Just finished watching the video.
So am I correct in saying you will need a lineman's belt to ascend and descend the tree as this saddle is not meant to be used also as a lineman's belt?
Never mind just watched a video at YT there is a version with linemans loops.
Great ANOTHER saddle model to consider. Well on the bright side I've till next year to decide.
