master delux saddle

[mikeyott]

im ordering a new saddle and im thinking of getting the master delux anyone own one or have any objections?

dude i have one. its a good saddle but save your money and get a tree flex or a tree motion (you can get one from honey bro's for $300) way better saddles and they don't pinch your nuts

I loved my Msater Delux II Saddle but just retired it for the Petzel Sequoia. I've tried it against the Tree Motion and found it a better saddle. Two side notes though... 1. this is my first floating bridge staddle and found it more productive than fixed point saddles. 2. I wish I would have seen the new Buckingham Ergonomic saddle before i purchased the Sequoia.

ya those saddles are sick if i got into competition or rec climbing id definitely go with one of those but this is for stictly work its gona get broken down quick i climb 320 days a yr bro and i love my seat i cant stand leg straps i usually keep mine pretty loose

I don't object to the Master, it is a great saddle. I work 8 hours a day in a Glide 2 and it is a great saddle. Buckingham products are top notch.........but,I just bought the Weaver Cougar and I have to say it is the best saddle I have ever climbed in.Hands down. Best in comfort,function,attachment points,It is completely user friendly for whatever you will be doing.The Cougar is very adaptable, and it only cost me $200. Right now I couldn't even dream of a better saddle for general tree work. Only my opinion.

I had one and liked it but I lost weight and it started sliding off my rear... without a chainsaw. Try it with a rope bridge sometime.

Replaced it with a BFII which I also like.

I climb in one now and added on the BFII rope bridge. Looking into the tree motion, or cougar for next saddle.Great saddle with the susspenders for big removal jobs and hauling up gear, and useing a bucket you have the needed clip areas.

yeah i have a bf2 bridge on my master2 now i like it but the saddle still pinches my boys

and they don't like it

but for removials with a 460 on your hip you can't beat it with the suspenders. i'll keep mine forever. i just want a good prune out saddle. anybody around memphis tn have a tree motion, ergovation, tree flex, cougar? i would like to try these and see which one i like the best? sorry i'll post this in another thread, i don't want to derail this one

 

[mikeyott]

cheers!

I have ont with a rope bridg. I Like it a lot. It has spenders. The only thing I do not like is that I have to un doo the belt and one side to get it off. I think that the buc. saddles are about boom proof
