What’s the Hottest?

Saddle in the market for 2023? Looking at buying another Saddle, need to know what the best options are.

In 2023, I’d buy a TX-5.
I have Cruzr Xc. I’ve heard Cruzr changed the buckle out for a less than favorable one. Not sure this is true. If it’s the same buckle as mine I’d buy Cruzr XC as well.

Well you have that tethrd lockdown that’s been getting some good chatter from the shows they were at…

Should be seeing some new ones hitting the market very soon.

If I could purchase another one it'd be the cobra by cgm, or a woods saddle by @Fl Canopy Stalker.

I think my next saddle will be one from Overwatch Outdoors. They are making some high quality American made saddles.

 

[raisins]

Woods, TX5, Overwatch, and CGM are the saddles I'd currently consider.

Yep, another vote for the Deluxe model from Wood Hunting Saddles.

I purchased a Cobra from CGM this year. Very comfortable.

I bought a TX-5 last year...first saddle and pretty happy with it. (first saddle)

Just received a Cgm cobra and at first I wasn’t sure but every time I sit in it I like it more and more

 

[LtMoe66]

Lot of good ones! All have pros and con’s. I’ve had Tethrd, Cruzr, Aero Hunter, Trophyline, but my favorite has been the TX5 with stretch panel!! Good luck choosing.

I love my Cruzer, the saddle that's tempting me currently is an Overwatch

Was CGM the company that put out some videos and info on fall testing they had done on some of their saddles? I’ve been out of the loop, but if I remember correctly, they were one of the few that I had seen that from.

Yes they are one of the ones that released videos of drop testing

If you want a pleated single panel, with an adjustable amsteel bridge, definitely go with a Wood Deluxe. I just received mine, sat in it today for the first time, and couldn't be happier.

I believe that Wood also documented drop testing:

I like my latitude method, however whenever I get a new saddle it will be one of the companies listed already, partially because they all seem great (except for tethrd, because, as you all know, tethrd sucks), and partially because the owners are members here and stand behind their products (or I guess... Hang from them?)

Wood, CGM or Overwatch. Keep it in the family man.

Wood, CGM or Overwatch. Keep it in the family man.

Those would be my choices as well. I don't have a Wood's........ yet, but I have CGM's Sidewinder (Excellent Saddle) and the Transformer (Super High Quality) and you will not be disappointed. These guys are the real deal.

I don't even pay attention to upcoming saddles anymore. Cruzr XC has everything I ever wanted from a saddle. The holy Grail and Cadillac
