I have the method saddle 2 panel with the buckle. I use the one stick for climbing and rappel down, use the predator XL platform. My problem is I’m a sitter 98% of the time and my legs and feet keep going to sleep the last 3 sits. Some mornings I get it to where I’m so comfortable I could sit all day but my dumb butt didn’t pay attention to how I had the tether like how high etc.. I have the bottom panel pretty low and the top panel high for back support. I love the saddle and the freedom it affords me. Now it takes me for ever to get up the tree, it has gotten better the last couple of sits And it’s a pain in the butt to put layers on up the tree cause I have to stand on the platform and kiss the tree and loosen the strap to tuck it under the saddle which is a major pucker factor for me. Looking at that new overwatch transformer saddle seems like a sitters dream. Anyways thx for all the info you all provide on this sight. I went from a climber to the saddle all from this sight, spent a fortune but seems worth it. I have 1 sticked and rappelled everytime I have been up a tree, all the info here gave me the confidence to do it I did practice a few times in the yard at ladder height

Any suggestions on how to keep legs and feet from going numb and going to sleep? I sit pretty low like I’m in a chair knees almost 90 degrees to the tree and it seems no matter where I put the bottom of the saddle it happens...

Maybe try messing around more with the panels. I'm actually more uncomfortable when the top panel is high like some reviewers say the method is designed (which I disagree) . For me, I ride the top panel about belt height & the lower panel I move around to prevent pressure points on long sits. Also try making your bridge a little longer to keep the saddle from constricting. If I get to much pressure on my legs move the placement of the bridge on the loops. Moving up puts more support on the hips & down more on the legs. Play around with all of it to stay comfy. That saddle has a infinite amount of adjustments. Maybe get a back band too. That's a great saddle especially when you figure out what combinations work in different kinds of tree's.
 
Come to the light, the JX3 tree saddle light..............
Don't be afraid, you will sit from dark to dark very comfortably, be able to snooze when you want, no dreaded hip pinch, no back aches, you can shoot 360° around the tree.
No platform required, only a ROS, no sore feet, no knee pads required, no sore knees, built in pack frame for carrying all your needs. Buy once, cry once.
