Phantom saddle short review

Saturday went to Raleigh NC to the Dixie Deer Classic. Was able to sit in a Phantom and subsequently came home a little poorer.
Sat in it for 15 minutes yesterday. More time will tell on comfort but am fairly impressed so far. Feels like it will not ride up and will cup your but nicely. An very curious to see what it feels like after a couple hours

The thing I really love about this saddle so far is the linesman loops design. Not only is the support better it will be much easier to clip into while in the dark.
Also really like the leg strap placement which is not to low for walking in and still feels quite comfortable while in the tree.

Will try to report more as I get more time in.

And last but not least was fun to meet several of the Tethrd crew there!

I think the orange leg strap loops, and linesman’s belt loops are going to shine with actual hunting use.

I got pretty aggravated with the leg loops on the Mantis.

I didn’t notice that much difference in comfort from my Mantis but I haven’t sat in it enough for an informed opinion yet.

Sliding up, leg loops, tight Molle and waist belt coming loose were my main complaints with the Mantis and I think this one answers most of those concerns. I like the adjustable bridge too.

I am going to the Tethrd teach and train tour at The Iowa Deer Classic this weekend. I am looking forward to trying out the Phantom.

How do the sys hauler and the other pouch attach to the phantom? The same system as the Mantis?

I think the Molle is made from a little different material and is a little looser, btw.
 
I finally made the switch from my old Evo to the phantom and I must say one of the selling points to me was that the linesman loops were similar in style, and I really liked the linesman loops on the Evo. I didn't like the idea of all the other saddles on the market currently even the aerohunter ones that all have the little linesman loop attachments up on the waist belt.
