So far I have probably 8-10 hours total in my trophyline ambush lite saddle. I'm 5'7" and weight 195lbs and I got the medium/large sized saddle and it fits great. Tonight i was in it for 4 hours total. A good mixture of leaning and sitting and both were very comfortable. I didnt experience a little pressure that most would refer to a hip pinch but it wasnt bad. Not nearly as bad as my back would hurt from sitting in a hangon stand motionless for hours on end. The saddle gives me the ability to shift my weight around and keeps me comfortable on longer sits. The one thing I definitely want to get or make is a back recliner strap so I can relax a little more. I think with a back strap I could easily fall asleep in the saddle it's that comfortable. I really like the pouches the trophyline kit comes with but I added 2 olive green mag dump pouches I got off amazon for $10-12 each. I keep those on the sides and put my tethr, carabiners, paracord backpack tether to hang it in the tree, and my linesman belt in them. The zipper pouch from trophyline I stuck at my 6 o'clock position and keep my aider, strap for my tree knee pad, and bow pull up cord in it. Lastly the long bottle pouch I keep about 4-5 o'clock and I put things like another shorter aider, my keys, and it still fits a water or soda bottle pretty well. I can see why tethr saddles are more money just because of the added adjustability to make it 100% fit you as much as possible but for the money and no lead time the ambush lite is an awesome saddle.
