So I don't see much talk about the H2 either way. Don't see many come across the classifieds. Who has one or had one. What did you like or not like? I think I tried one when I first looked at saddles. But it was a smaller size, and I had never really hunted from a saddle yet. So was kinda hard to tell how I would have liked it. Just curious with all the newer stuff that has come out, what your take it.
 
Love mine...die hard hunter first year saddle hunter...it’s the only saddle I own and until it wears out I won’t be trying others...I come to realize I am more of a ROS sitter and this is thing suit me
 
The H2 is one of the few saddles I haven’t tried. But I keep eying the hotshot.

That comes to me as a shock! I’ve scoured this site like a lot of gear heads and I’ve notice you have tried most of everything...Is there a reason you haven’t? Is the grass greener on the other side if a hunter can be motionless and be pain free with the saddle they got?

EDIT: Trying to convince myself to make what I got work and not to spend more money gear...
 
The H2 is the first saddle I bought and it works good for me. I have tried the ESS the Recon and will try my new Transformer soon. I think it is a solid saddle for the money. I have the amsteel bridge and i am not a fan of it. Once you weight it it is almost impossible to adjust. Other than that I like it.
 
had an h2, loved it. i shouldve gotten one size bigger than i did i think, but it was great, built like a tank. tried a cruzr this spring and really liked that too. still one of the first brands i bring up when people ask about saddles.
 
I have one posted on the classifieds right now. I like the saddle, light and comfy, but looking to sell it and try out a 2 panel. If I can’t sell it for a reasonable buck I’ll hunt with it next season.
 
Love mine. Jay_disarray was nice enough to let me try his before i bought it. I would possible get a smaller size as there is a lotof extra belt given. Pretty loyal following.

Had one at the beginning of last season. Really well made wanted to like it but just like many single panel saddles the bottom strap dug into my lower thighs. I could only sit in it for about an hour. Bought a Treehopper Recon and it is soooooo much nicer. Sat in it for 8 hours no problem. The adjustability of a two panel saddle is what makes them superior.
 
Sorry mine is a medium. I haven't decided if I'm going to sell it or not.
 
Was getting use to my H2 this afternoon. Sat in it for 45 minutes and felt just fine. I got it for Christmas and then promptly broke my wrist on January 2nd so I did not get to use it during hunting season. Have been getting use to it after I got my cast off, I like it but I am not a long sitter. 3 hours max for any of my stands.
 
I bought one this past season and absolutely love it. It is the only saddle I have ever had, but I did try a Tethrd Mantis before I bought it and I like the H2 better. I sat many 4-6 hour hunts in it and never was uncomfortable. I came from hunting out of a summit climber which was super comfortable and I never thought a saddle would come close, but boy was I wrong. I promise I can sit in my saddle longer. It’s a very good saddle!
 
I've been using my H2 Saddle now since they came out. I still have my original medium saddle without leg straps and it fits my butt like a well tailored suit.

I now have the mesh version but not sure what one I'll be using this fall. I'm not really a fan of the black mesh....like at all. Super light weight and the same perfect shape...but I hate the color black as much as the color red when it comes to hunting garments/packs/archery decals.
