Ok, I'm new and very intrigued by the possibility of using a tree saddle. Only major issue I'm seeing is that I usually am using my IWOM suit for 75% pic my hunts up here in the northwoods of Wisconsin. Does anyone have some experience using one of these with a tree saddle? Would love to see a video if possible how it could work.

With some modifications it would be possible. The biggest concern would be that the saddle platforms are smaller and your feet are contained in the iwom. It would be difficult to keep them on the platform. If you had a larger platform this may not be an issue. You could also let . your feet out of the iwom to alleviate the concern but this would allow cold air in.
Also you would have to modify the iwom to allow the tether hook up.

I tried hunting with my IWOM out of the saddle last year and it does work - use the side openings to run your bridge through. You'll need a detachable/adjustable bridge. The biggest challenge I had was noise. If you climb a rough bark tree, the IWOM sticks to it and makes a loud Velcro noise as you move or adjust.

Just something to consider.
