JX3 Hybrid Tree Saddle Review | Best Tree Saddle For Hunting? Thoughts, Prep, and Setup

- The JX3 Hybrid and conventional saddles are neck and neck in most cases. The key takeaway is that the JX3 Hybrid offers much better comfort. And in my opinion, comfort should be a high-value determining factor when purchasing a tree saddle. Comfort is what allows you to sit on-stand longer, which increases hunting success, and results in hunting enjoyment. #JX3Hybrid #saddlehunting #treesaddle
I made the switch from lightweight conventional fabric saddles to the JX3 Hybrid Saddle made by JX3 Outdoors I haven’t looked back. What’s the point of using a lightweight conventional saddle if you’re so uncomfortable you can’t enjoy yourself and can’t focus on the hunt?

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Conventional tree saddles (tree saddles made entirely of fabric and rope) have worked great for me since 2016. This was when I made the switch from conventional tree stands (ladder, hang-on, and climbing). They’ve allowed me to hunt places most hunters would never dream to hunt because it’s too difficult to put up a conventional treestand.
Saddle hunting has increased my success dramatically. Conventional saddles have enabled me to get away from the hunting pressure and find more productive spots to hunt while still have the advantage of being in a tree.
However, there was one aspect that was lacking for me, long-lasting comfort. After spending some quality time in conventional saddles, I became disappointed with my comfort when on-stand for long periods of time. At the time it was worth being uncomfortable in order to get far back into my hunting spots and be able to climb a tree. But in recent years I was getting tired of being so uncomfortable and fidgety in the tree, so I started looking at other saddles on the market.
After a few hours my body just couldn’t take the pinching at the hips, the cutting off of blood flow, and just couldn’t be fully relaxed in the saddles, thus I would fidget…a lot. I wasn’t about to have a missed opportunity at a big buck because I was fidgeting all the time. I knew I had to find another alternative.
In my opinion, the JX3 Hybrid tree saddle is one of the best saddles currently on the market right now because of how comfortable it is. I’m excited to put this saddle to the test even further in upcoming hunting seasons.

That's what I love about the Dryad Drey saddle it's so comfortable but very light weight
Good review. Jx3 has always intrigued me. Thanks for the review.
Great review. I have two JX3 hybrid saddles. This will be my third year with them. As far as I am concerned they are the best stand made!
Thanks! And agreed!
How are these with bulky clothes?
Phenomenal video. Thank you. Subbed
Thx for doing the video easy to understand brought out some different ideas . Great job.
I appreciate the kind words, thanks.
Improved preacher seat
How do you clean the JX3? I used mine for four days last week hunting and it stinks! I noticed the black screw heads are rusting just from dew and moisture in the air. No scent spray didn't help...
Buying scent free detergent and soaking it for a while will work then letting it air dry outdoors. To keep it smelling scent free you can use ozone or activated carbon. I’d contact JX3 to determine if ozone is safe to use with the JX3 materials
@@JasonTome I did Jason. Here's their reply: From JX3-John, we recommend using mild soap and water with light scrubbing using a cloth, sponge, or soft bristled brush, then rinse and hang to air dry in a clean dry area away from the elements.
cool video are you still using the jx3 and would still recommend it?
Thanks, yes I still use it and recommend it. I also use a Dryad Drey. Which one I use on a particular day depends on my situation. You can check out my Drey review here:jasontomeoutdoors.com/dryad-drey-review/ which compares the JX3 to the Drey
@@JasonTome awesome thank you an i will check them out thanks
How high did you get with those 3 sticks with no aiders?
About 15 feet to my top step
Have u ever tried a dryad drey?
No I have not, but I've heard of them
Too much Not for me I couldn't imagine doing that in the dark Great video
Thanks!

What's the weight with that set up?
The JX3 weighs about 13.5 lbs on its own, then + 2.5 lbs per lone wolf stick (I use 3) so right around the 20 lbs mark with everything
So bout the same as a summit climbing stand not sure how that's any better

@@jasonphillips1342 Weight-wise perhaps depending on what model you get, but the JX3 is much more quiet, maneuverable, and easier to get into limby trees...etc. If you haven't already, you can check out my blog review which might answer some of your questions that I wasn't able to cover as clearly in the video: www.jasonmtome.com/jx3-hybrid-saddle-review/
@@jasonphillips1342 no summit stand weights more 😂
