Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this saddle 👍
Yes, been waiting for this review!
Hope you like it!
Great review Brother.
Much appreciated!
You can get this and the Hawk platform ($50) for around $200, if you are on a tight budget
Good point, although I’m not sure where you can find the hawk platform for $50.
@@TheBudgetSportsman According to Google you can get it from Rogers trading for $49.99. And I did say around
They now offer the Mondo and Invader Platform in a combo
Interesting. I haven’t seen that. I’ll have to have a look
The bridge is adjustable ,the prusiks line is the adjustment , if you girth one end and clip in the prusiks into the other you can adjust the length in and out , you had all 3 ends clipped in
Yes, I just had the tag end clipped up, otherwise I had it set up exactly as you said. Of course the length is adjustable but the positioning isn’t adjustable like it is on the vast majority of saddles today. I’m referring to an adjustment that changes the pressure from top to bottom, similar to the comfort channels on the tethrd phantom
@@TheBudgetSportsman oh my bad miss understood
@@TheBudgetSportsmanjust add a prusik to the other bridge loop.
I'd be interested to know if the xop 40ft safty rope is good enough to one stick ?
I will admit I don't know enough about ropes to give you good advice. What I do know is one of their employees that I spoke to at a show a few years ago was from a rock climbing background and was doing his best to guide XOP to use safe gear. I did notice that all the specs for the rope are listed on their website. It might be worth reaching out and asking them about it specifically. My guess is that the sheath may not be up the abuse of constant rappelling.
Did XOP intend for those loops at the ends of the Molle’s to be for the lineman’s rope? I can’t find instructions on their website… Also, this was a great review. I will use this saddle because of its versatility alone. If you choose to sit a hang-on back to tree, use the tie off. If you choose to sit with tree in front, use it as a saddle.
I don’t have any inside knowledge but that is what I would assume the loops are for. Very similar to the H2 slingshot I had a few years ago. Very easy and inexpensive way to put lineman’s loops on. Just not a very great way IMO.
@@TheBudgetSportsman thanks!
Would I be able to get away with cutting the chest part of the saddle off and use it as a saddle only? Or would that not really work?
I "THINK" you could do that, however I am sure that for legal reasons XOP would not recommend it and warranty the product once you modify it. I would proceed with caution and use your own judgment.
Might mess up the integrity of the saddle.
