^ This guy knows what he is talking about.You will never see an aerohunter without leg straps for safety reasons. It is the same reason the guido's web has them and the reason that TMA made trophyline put the useless leg straps on the tree saddle. Now I am pretty sure we are going to see a version with buckles that will allow easier access into the saddle and hopefully solve most peoples issues with the leg straps.
Can you post a pic of the tengu? I am a sitter for sure!I just hunt ... I use the tengu for setting up my trees. It is made heavy duty without all the metal of an arborist saddle. If you are a sitter and not a leaner while hunting , the tengu ( for
me ) is very comfortable and you do not need a bridge. BUT if you are a leaner while hunting don't bother , your boys will suffer lol

Is this still planned for a summer release and any chance we'll get a sneak peak? I have the first two generations so I have a feeling I'm going to need this one too.^ This guy knows what he is talking about.
We are here to make safe hunting saddles, we will never compromise safety or leave off any safety feature. Our saddles are designed to be used at hunting heights, sitdrags are made for ground level, hints why there is no safety built into them. We are trying to make those safety features more friendly for hunters.
Personally, I don't use the QR buckles, we had tremendous request for this feature, so it is being added.

Yes, still hoping for July release. Once we get everything finalized I will see what I can do.Is this still planned for a summer release and any chance we'll get a sneak peak? I have the first two generations so I have a feeling I'm going to need this one too.

It looks like we are going with the Quick buckles. We are working on sourcing some new fabric, so right now that might be the biggest delay.

I personally think the addition of buckles for the leg straps is kind of a silly idea. I am typically all about upgrades, but this one makes no sense to me. For safety I would rather have them hard lined to the harness ( not to mention those who will disconnect them while 30 feet up to be "comfortable and risk falling), for stealth sake I feel that by adding more metal-to-metal connections will add even more unwanted noise ;defeating the whole purpose of the advances thus far on this saddle for stealth ,and finally are you really that afraid of getting a little mud on your harness. Just saying
My leg straps never had any pressure on them, so I never had the problem. They were basically just like you described but mine ran though the bridge to help them stay open.Hi Boswell ,
I have a question for you , I took the leg straps that attach to the aerohunter between your legs on the flaps and unrouted them from the paws to running them just over your leg and back into the buckle forming a loop for each leg. To me ,it seems to have the same safety factor and at least for me solves the legs straps running up the crotch. Just curious on your input and maybe this will help a few other aerohunter users.
I am not sure of the price yet, that will be decided last once we have all the features, such as fabric, buckles and rope (possible spliced eye) figured out. We are looking to do a few different things. I am thinking it should less than the current model, I don't know how much though.What price range are we looking at ? I am going to buy ether the evolution or the new one .Can't wait to see it.
I have been hanging from the evo for 2 years and love it..Looking forward to the new one as I will more than likely make the purchase as soon as it is released.I dont get the desire for the detachable leg straps. If the straps are an integral part of the overall safety of the saddle then why would this be considered an improvement? Only increases the chance of human error.
Any changes that are made I hope will reflect a reduction of weight, an increase of comfort, and or an increase in the level of safety the saddle provides..
I would love to see a change of the camo color and pattern..Lighter color and open pattern..I am also in favor of a new buckle on the waist belt which is more durable and less likely to be disengaged accidentlally. This hasnt happened to me while in the field but it isnt hard to do..
