I have both the greens and leather road trips TL ... once I get the LB sewn on my Greens I may never go back to the road trips except I seem to get lucky in the road trips! So when things aren’t going my way, I will be forced to break it out! This season I hunted out of the ambush, greens and road trips ... never got around to the neoprene. Next season. Lol

@2Shea and @Vtbow do you die hard TL guys know how Hang Time got started? I decide that @huck74212 needed a Trophy Line shirt to wear. This shirt birthed the Hang Time idea. You both may need to add it to your wardrobe!

This was the first design and shirt I made.

@Jefferson10940 Well shoot I had no idea!! Let me know where to get one... I need to invest in a few other TL’s to try the mesh and neo, never been able to try those out yet to see which I like best.

I can make you the shirt! For the record the roadtrips you hunted out of this season is the one that I would choose if I could only have 1.

Hey feel lucky, that’s 1 or 2 more hunts than I’ll get haha our season is over. I think you’ll like it.... I’m gonna tinker on mine some this off season. Prob change the shoulder straps, new bridge, add Tethrd pouches, and kill everything that moves next season... ok maybe not the last part but a guy can dream!!!

Well I got the mesh TL in yesterday, ran up to the hardware store to grab some suspenders, slapped them on, got my pouch strapped on, tinkered with it in the yard for a couple seconds then hit the woods.

Got up, got settled in, and couldn’t believe the night and day difference between this and what I had used before! I used a sitdrag and a diy saddle, so comfort never was all that great. As soon as I leaned back into the TL, I was in love haha.

The large is a little big on me but it allows it to cover a whole lot of area with pretty much no pressure points! And not having a RC harness on was amazingly comfortable as well. I have a feeling that I’ll change the bridge out to rope, but other than that, I’m super happy with it!

Quick question, is it pretty standard to only use the bridge let all the way out? Or is there any reason I can’t cinch it up some? Obviously making sure both straps are in the biner, but does it need to be even pressure on both straps or can it be adjusted so it’s not so long, like you can on other saddles?
I left it all the way out the other day while one-sticking and it seemed really long and kind of in the way. Not terrible, but noticeable. On the way down, I almost couldn’t do it because the bridge was in my way to lean down and reattach the stick. I cinched it up to about 1/4 of the fully let out length, and it was so much easier descending with the one-stick. Carabiner around belly to chest height was much better than bridge and biner all in your face.

The trophyline bridge was designed as a fixed 1 length bridge.

Ok so the cinch buckle is just there to cinch it as a belt while walking? I guess I probably shouldn’t have hung from it cinched up then.. whoops

I don’t see why I could just cinch my linesman up real short to act as a really short bridge while going up and down with the one-stick method, what do you think @redsquirrel

I'm trying to visualize this and I haven't had my tree saddle out of the bin for probably over a year. If you were to cinch it up short you would only have 1 short section right? The other section gets longer as you pull it through. I'm not sure I'd like that or be sure that it wouldn't come loose on you. Another thought is to create a shorter temporary bridge you could run between the lineman's loops.

Yeah, the bridge adjustment is just to tighten it up to walk in. Many people do exactly as @redsquirrel mentioned, which is add a bridge from the two linemans loops...

Yeah that’s what I was talking about, I left both straps in the carabiner in case the cinch let toot would only go to full length. Didn’t feel unsafe, but I was in question about halfway down the tree. And I could just use my linesman belt as a short temporary bridge, I don’t use it while one-sticking anyways.

Yeah I think that’s what I’ll do from now on, just keep a little shorty bridge in my pack on the days I one-stick, or I could use my linesman belt if I forget it.
