Hawk Treestands Helium Hammock Saddle

Saddle hunting—no, not from horseback—has taken hunters to new heights in recent times by allowing them to perch within unorthodox tree types, and Hawk Treestands has a comfortable climbing kit to get things started.

The Helium Hammock Saddle, featuring Chaos camouflage, has a weight rating of up to 300 lbs. and is designed to fit waists measuring 28" to 40".

Excluding the included climbing sticks and foot platform, the saddle harness packs light, at 4 lbs., into an included 8"x8"x10" carry bag, which adds versatility to a hunter’s arsenal of products.

Furthermore, the saddle kit includes climbing-grade accessories such as aluminum carabiners, rope grabber and tether rope with a pre-tied prusik knot for adjustable safety.

MSRP is $400. For more information, visit shop.hawkhunting.com
