I'm looking to purchase a saddle soon...I'm 6'0'' 175lbs. Should I go with a medium or large??

Also, is there any talk of new saddles coming out before the fall hunting season? I would hate to buy a saddle now and have a new product come out right after.
 
Don’t wait you won’t have in time for season. Go large If close to the edge of large. Your gonna start seeing new products everywhere in the next couple of years.
 
If you want a Mantis there is about a 3 month lead time from what I have seen. I wouldn’t wait long if you plan on hunting out of it this season.

Waist size???
 
That’s pretty much my exact size. Do you hunt in colder weather at all? I’m in Michigan and will bundle up a little more as the weather gets colder.

I haven’t hunted in it yet but trial runs with fanatic bibs/jacket seem fine. I think large would also work but I’ve got plenty of room in the waist with medium.

I climb with it pretty much as I’d wear a belt and then once situated I lower the waistband below belt level and the medium still has plenty of room.

Hopefully this helps
