Who is still using the Phantom?

Man, i tried to like the phantom. I had every problem listed above. the balls, the riding up, lack of "cup, etc. (+ fraying on the bridge loops)
Sold it right away. IMO If it doesnt feel like your floating with zero discomfort, there is a better fitting saddle for you out there. longer sits is when it really matters. Testing it for an hour pre-season and being comfortable isnt enough. I learned that the hard way with my mantis. Im sure it works great for some people but i just dont understand how they didnt get some of the same problems the mantis came with addressed. Aerohunter is the bees-knees for me. I hunt pretty hard early season in september in MD and it is hot and humid. I dont have any problems with my butt sweating in my kestrel anymore than with a mesh saddle but the older kite is basically the same thing in mesh. They are soooo comfy and build quality is top-notch. if you can find one in your size dont exclude that from possible options.

Yes, if I find a size 1 on the classified ads, I hope to snatch it up if the price is right.

I’m not gonna push someone to part with a phenomenal saddle, I’m just saying when or if they do want to part with it, hit me up first! And mark it sold lol
 
I think the classic is a little more comfortable,but I don't have any hunts in it yet so time will tell.

I have a phantom and liked it. I did find I was wanting a little wider seat but it was minor. I had sits over 6 hours and was completely comfortable. I maybe selling later but not due to any issue just trying to narrow down to two. Well will see by September I should know more.

Thank you for the link but I already have a Cruzr xc and while it’s a good saddle, well made and strong, I feel as though it’s not the right saddle for me. The mesh is so stiff and the pleat opens until it basically pulls you into the tree. It did not translate to all day comfort in my opinion. It was better than many others I have tried but it’s not as good as aerohunter saddles in my opinion.
