My short review of classic 2

[muzzypower]

Ive hit the woods a few times in it. Ive had a kite and recon prior and the classic is the best. I dont have to find comfort, it finds me. I think the larger size makes a difference. I wish id have gotten a larger recon to compare. I think i will enjoy the classic for shorter sits and my jx for longer ones. Climbing with the lwhc works well. I had almost thrown in the towel.

I had one to try. Never made it to the woods before I sold it, but I agree with your sentiment "I dont have to find comfort, it finds me" in that the Classic II doesn't require much adjustment if any to get relative comfort. It's a great starter saddle that way, especially for those wanting a lightweight mesh saddle.

I have 3 saddles I find more comfortable, but two of them are bulkier and the other sometimes needs a touch of adjustment to hit that uber cozy feel, whereas you can pretty much just lean into the Classic II and it's pretty good all the time. I did feel the Classic II pulled my legs together some, though it didn't pinch or annoy.

Which saddles do u like better?

Which do u like better?

AH Flex, TN Blackbelt, Wood Hunting Saddles Original.

I've been using the Flex and it's easy comfort, built like a tank, and of top notch construction, but it's a bit bulky/sloppy.

I hunted this year's archery opener yesterday in the Wood Original saddle. I was in total comfort without any effort, but when I put it through the paces over the spring there were times I needed to dial it in a touch. It is built like a tank with superb construction and attention to detail. For me it won out over the Calssic II for versatility, construction, and overall comfort when dialed in (which doesn't take much). If you like a wide stance, it's far better. Though the Classic II has a more consistent initial feel.

TN Blackbelt is the most comfortable saddle I've tried. It is made by a fall protection equipment company...that said, I find the build sloppy. I had never used a two panel saddle but wanted to see how a padded design performed, so basically I got it out of curiosity and it surprised me how nice that is.

OG classic was more comfortable IMO. The rope belt seems to add a pressure point at the top of my hips I didn’t get with the OG. Wish I never sold it. They were also $180 now the classic 2 has been jacked up to $250 and uses rope belt where they eliminated the expensive buckle. Seems to be a little inflation and a lot of greed in their pricing these days.

Initially I was aware of the rope roll too, but it wasn't very noticeable in my normal hunting clothes (stratus bibs and heavier). Though I never did hunt from mine, just a some yard hangs. I liked the camo of the original.

I thought the Classic II was allegedly more comfortable by having a longer width between the bridge loops. No?

I noticed the rope knot in summer practice. Not withhunting attire on though. I tend to pull it up high as i lean mostly. Like back support

I don’t think there was extra length at all. If there was it wasn’t enough to notice.

Latitude Classic 2!!!!!!

Not if you use a lineman’s belt. You won’t be able to remove the paracord from the clip. You would have to tie the paracord from the molle loop and a hook on the stick or something. alright. I'll have to look into it some more when I it comes. Always possible to get something made for the...

They said it was wider when they first came out with it, how much is another story. I never saw a reason to upgrade from the original to the 2. Especially when I got the original for $150 when they came out with the 2. Way more comfortable than the phantom I had for a month.

I never tried one. Lol, I went off your review of the Classic 2 at the time:

I used the first one most of the season last year. I like this one the best of all the saddles I tried.
