XOP Complete Tree Saddle Hunting System - Secure Adjustable Platform

Our review of the XOP Complete Tree Saddle Hunting System finds it best suited to mobile hunters who want a secure, compact setup for tree saddle hunting. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of the Mondo hybrid harness and an adjustable aluminum platform that together provide a stable, secure shooting position and integrated safety gear like a bridge, tether, and linemans belt. This kit includes everything needed to saddle hunt without hunting-stand assembly, making it a practical choice for run n' gun hunts where stability and safety matter most.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes the Mondo saddle harness, aluminum platform, bridge, tether, and linemans belt so hunters have all required components in one package.
• Mondo hybrid harness: The harness offers breathable, flexible support and adjustable leg and shoulder straps for a more customized fit during long sits.
• Adjustable platform: The aluminum platform is fully leveling and ultralight, allowing the user to create a stable shooting position on uneven trunks.
• Safety capable: The hybrid harness can be used as a standard fall arrest system, providing integrated safety functionality beyond basic saddle straps.
• One-size adjustability: The harness is designed to adjust to most users, simplifying sizing and reducing the need to buy additional fit components.

Who It's For

The XOP Complete Tree Saddle Hunting System is aimed at hunters who prioritize mobility and a low-profile tree setup. It works well for deer, mule deer, and other western big game where a saddle setup offers quieter movement and the ability to reposition quickly.

Hunters who want maximum comfort for extended hours in the same position or who prefer full platform stands with built-in seating might look elsewhere; this system balances comfort and compactness rather than offering a plush, reclined seat or full platform amenities.
