Looking at getting into saddle hunting.

I have been hunting for 20 years, but only recently heard about saddle hunting. This will be a complete game changer for me. After watching a ton of reviews I still have no idea on what to get. I am 5'9 170 lbs. I'm not sure if that helps, but looking for something that is comfortable enough for 3-4 hr sits with the occasional all day sit. I really like t5 saddles but I have no idea what to order. I live in Michigans upper peninsula so if anyone lives close to Marquette I would appreciate it if I could try their set-up. But any help would be great.

Welcome! If you can't find someone that has stuff that you can try, buy a Cruzr XC in the proper size and play with it until you know what you like/need. That's if you don't love the Cruzr and need a reason to upgrade!
 
What would be a upgrade from the cruzr? Was leaning towards this or the phantom. Also really like the t5 but would not know what to order.

Anything COULD be an upgrade, if you figure out for yourself that you prefer a different feature set! However, I was referring primarily to a TX5. You will hopefully know what you like/need after a season in a production saddle. I own a Phantom, and I do like it, but I would recommend the Cruzr to start. I have both saddles. I bought the Phantom and then the Cruzr; if I had purchased the Cruzr first, I would not have the Phantom lol.
