I have been out of the loop for a while and missed this thread. Good stuff. I would love to see some sort of headrest developed for those long sits when you just need to put your head back and close your eyes for a little bit. Additionally, a foot climbing platform like the Lonewolf, but specifically made for Saddle hunting. Something that would climb easily, and then could also be snuggly secured to the tree and used as a platform.
Finally, I think I would be a fan of a padded hip belt which would include a couple of roomy pockets on either side similar to my horn hunter pack. I’m usually carrying a fair amount of weight on my JX 3. Early bow season usually means 6 to 8 pounds of water weight alone, and late season luckily means less water, but more cold-weather clothing.
The weight of the JX 3 has been a non-issue for me. I started hunting public land in the Appalachian mountains a few years ago and thought I would be relegated to sitting on the ground. Most of my hunts involve climbing between 300 and 500 vertical feet so toting a climbing stand quickly became out of the question. When I learned of the JX 3 it quickly became my go to. I remember telling John that he literally extended my hunting career. Great guy, and great product.
