Gen 3 JX3
I started with Guido’s Web in 2004 and thought how could it get any better? Boy was I wrong. This thing is amazing. Mr. John took all of Mr. Butch’s thoughts and made them perfect. Don’t let the price scare you. It’s worth every penny.

Jx3 hybrid hunting saddle
Very good product worth the money I paid for it.
-
This is a very comfortable stand
I recommend this stand to anyone who like being comfortable
-
JX3
I have tried many saddle from other companies and the JX3 is the one yet
-
JX3
I hunted for the past three years with another top brand name saddle and due to old injuries was thinking about hanging it up because of discomfort and the inability to sit for long periods of time without having to move but I figured I’d give the JX3 a shot and I’m so glad I did I can sit all day long I’m 250lbs 6’2” with multiple back and leg injuries and the JX3 allows me to comfortably sit as long as I want, the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it is a little harder trying to climb and hang sticks that a traditional saddle but not impossible just takes a little more time. I also recommend getting the seat pad I’ll be ordering one after this season.
-
Most comfortable Stand EVER
I am able to one stick and repel using the JX3 and it is the most comfortable stand I have ever hunted out of.
-
Jx3 Hybrid Saddle
This saddle is amazing. It is definitely the most comfort you will find for a mobile hunting setup. Only thing is is that it does weigh more than a trditional saddle would so it might not be the best for going in deep on public land hunts. Although I haven't done it yet but I think it would be possible to do so since the frame helps with weight distribution.
-
Jx3 is best product on the market…
Best money ever spent. The comfort the chair brings is out of this world
-
JX3 hybrid saddle
Good quality and construction. Does take a few sits to get everything adjusted. Comfort is superb.
-
JX3 Hybrid Saddle
The JX3 is very comfortable and gave me the safest and most secure feeling I have ever had while archery hunting from an elevated portable hunting stand. Great people and a great product.
-
Happy with my purchase so far
Only really one downside is the stitching for the shoulder strap has already broken, at the top of shoulder strap/padding
-
Jx3
I’m currently in my 5th sit with the JX3 very comfortable. The customer service is outstanding had a issue with my tether and stopper ball contact them about it and they didn’t question me just fixed the issue within same day .
-
Compound shooting
This saddle is an excellent crossbow or rifle saddle. Using a compound is complicated for strong side shots. By far the most comfortable stand I have ever used! Only problem I have is with the fabric bridge. It twist the side straps if u clip it wrong. And is hard to see if ur doing it correctly in the dark. Maybe a rope bridge would help? But overall awesome set up with great accessories!
-
Jx3
Great product so far my biggest issue is finding a lightweight climbing options.
-
Awesome product, brings a whole new level of comfort to saddle hunting. There is a little learning curve but well worth it. Well designed and very quiet out of the box.. Worth the investment.
Nice job!

JX3 Hybrid
I’m a pretty big guy, 6-1 and 260 and Im 58 years old. I took a long time to decide on a saddle, hip pinch was a big concern. I settled on the JX3 and couldn’t be happier. My biggest problem with it now is how to stay awake in it.
-
JX3
The JX3 is everything you could ask for when it comes to being comfortable in the woods.
-
Game Changer
GAME CHANGER! The most comfortable, light weight, versatile stand that I have ever used. I have been hunting for years, and this stand is exactly everything you could ever ask for. Its very light and compact. It’s super easy to shoot out of sitting or standing either way. You can recline back and put your feet up just like you’re in you’re recliner at home. Don’t waste your money on other saddles,climbers, or lock ons because this is the ticket. Hands down and on top of all that the customer service is TOP NOTCH.
-
Jx3 hybrid
Awesome innovative product. Couldn't be happier. I gave it 4 stars because it's almost heavy. It's not too heavy for what ur getting but definitely gonna come in lighter in a traditional saddle. Very comfortable, very easy to get around the tree in it. Easy set up. Looks like a lot but it's really not much more to it than a traditional saddle. Did I mention it's comfortable
-
JX3
Great product haven't used anything but the JX3 for a treestand since I got it.
-
5 stars
First time ever using a saddle glad I ordered the JX3 won’t hunt any other way now from a tree
-
JX3 comfort
I am amazed by how comfortable it is to sit in. It is the most comfortable stand of any type I have ever sat in. 4+ hour sits are no problem with this saddle
-
Jx3, worth every penny!
If this was in a big box store it would be twice as much. Excellent product. Couldnt be happier w it. So comfy. This is the next level for saddle hunting or tree stand hunting. Wont know what Im pitting down in words unless you actually try it yourself. Bought the jx3 climbing sticks and I can attest that w stand and sticks on my back it feels half the weight of a 20lbs tree climber.
-
Great saddle
I've been saddle hunting for 4yrs now just recently purchased JX3 the most comfortable saddle on the market by far. Told a friend and he got one as well. Thanks for making a great saddle. Gene Garris from Nc.

JX3 hybrid
In 1995 I began using, what was at that time, a hybrid saddle called the Safe-T-Rack. I’ve been using it every season since. However, after much thought I purchased a JX3 for this season. I can’t say enough about the quality, design and comfort. Looking forward to many seasons with my new saddle. Best stand decision I’ve made since 1995. If you’re on the fence for whatever reason, let me assure you the JX3 will generate no regrets.
-
Jx3
Super well made. Very thoughtful of hunting process. Probably the safest stand made. U are always locked in to tree. Takes just little practice at home. I'm am 62,so I don't bowhunt anymore but I gun hunt. Easy to shoot gun out of. If you think it will work for you,give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
-
JX3
The absolute best solution between a saddle and a climber. Wears like a back pack and gear can be packed in different ways so that you are limiting the need for an additional bag for extra equipment or clothing. Going to the hunt. Set up is simple after practicing how to pack everything and unpack it at hunting site, then once in the tree of your choice comfort is adjustable as the day progresses unlike a regular saddle where you are leaning or standing or have knees buried in a tree the JX3 knees are never in the tree thanks to the adjustable fork, standing and sitting back down is effortless and comfortable, is honestly like sitting in a recliner at home. I have went 3 times since receiving it and have sat 6 hours as the longest time and 4 hours every other time. No aches or pains noted. Then once out of the tree packing everything up to head out is just as easy.

Jx3 hybrid saddle
Haven’t had the hybrid on a hunt yet but been practicing with it in the yard to get used to it, so far seems to be very comfortable and well made, first saddle I have ever used.
-
JX3-Hybrid
You know the saying 'too good to be true'?? That was my thought reading the reviews and watching the videos. I also wanted to try saddle hunting, but have several TBIs and other injuries from my time in service so safety and comfort was a top priority. Well one week into archery season and the hype is real. I feel more secure than ever in the tree, and that boosts your confidence in your hunt, when you can rely on your equipment. I lounge, sit, and lean. The tree fork is a game changer. You can learn to use it to add angle and swing slowly around the tree. John is also the best when it comes to customer service. I highly recommend this for all, and especially you disabled Vets out there. I want to eventually add the entire kit.

Review
Product is built great not misrepresented at all but for some guys that are bigger in size belly wise the cross strap is not so comfortable on the sides
-
Jx3 saddle
The jx3 saddle is a great saddle if your looking for comfort and mobility. Not the lightest saddle by no means but by far the most comfortable great product will buy again.
-
Comfortability
The most comfrtable an secure you will ever be in a tree is with a jx3 , amazing quality an craftsmanship , takes saddle hunting to another level , extended my hunt times alot longer , i would recommend this saddle to anyone interested in saddle hunting or anyone using a different saddle
-
Jx3 hybrid
Very comfortable. But you should be able to buy the extra pouches by themselves I don't need bino pouch and hand warmer I just want the extra storage pouches
-
Jx3 saddle
Great product no complaints
-
JX3 Hybrid
I don’t often leave reviews but I feel like I should for the JX3. I’ll start off by saying that shipping was fast. When it arrived, everything was as described. I was very impressed by the quality of the system. It seems very well made. I’ve in-line been able to try it out briefly as our season has not started yet but I honestly didn’t want to get down from the tree. I felt very secure and comfortable. I’m looking forward to finding the best position to hunt from but for someone who cannot sit still very long, I feel like I can in the JX3. My back often ends up sore and I fidget. I don’t anticipate this being an issue in this saddle. Although it definitely has more weight than some other stands, the pros well outweigh the extra weight it may have. Plus, the ground chair feature will be great if my plans change last minute or I find a better set up from the ground. So glad I found this product.
-
Great stand, safe and comfortable!
Wow, had I known about this saddle before this year, I would have purchased one. It's comfortable, safe and lightweight. Takes practice to climb in the dark, but that's required of any stand. Now, I just have to figure out how to carry my pee bottle!
-
JX3 HYBRID HUNTING SADDLE
Im a big guy and this thing is incredible, comfortable and will keep me from climbers forever. I had the original Guido's Web and I will say, y'all did amazing things in this new updated version. I am impressed.
-
JX3 unboxing/set-up
This hybrid is lightweight, comfortable, easy to set up and will definitely bring my run and gun repertoire to a whole new level and it couldn't have come at any better time as we'll draw the covered Iowa bow tag this fall. Can't wait to hit him where it Hoyts!
-
Great
Comfortable. Light weight. Could sit in it all day.
-
JX3
This thing is great. Maybe not light weight enough for some saddle hunters,but is lighter than most climbing stands without giving up comfort. Going from a climber to this was great for me. Does take a little getting use to. Don't expect to be going 360 around trees your 1st few sits. Work with it and it gets better every sit. Put a lot of butt hours in mine before reviewing and I'm still learning the best setup for me.
-
JX3 Hybrid
Only had one sit so far. Very comfortable for long sit. I did experience some of the butt numbness that I've heard others express, but not bad. There is a definite learning curve - some with the JX3 and some with just using climbing sticks and linemans and platform/ros. After a long hike on public land I have to muster the energy to get up in the tree. I feel safe sitting, more so than in a climber.
-
Amazing comfort
It is so much more comfortable than sitting in a tree stand. Your but and legs don’t get sore or tired from sitting. I just use a ring of plastic steps for a platform, no need to spend the extra money. Only thing that I have found is you need a pee bottle, almost impossible not to pee on your tree and steps. It is the only negative thing I’ve found. I don’t even use my other saddle. Bob
-
Jx3
I love this saddle. I have already harvested two does this year. I wear a prosthesis and the JX3 makes it safe since I don’t have to hang my beast stand. Great product
-
Jx3
So far I think it’s the best mobile stand on the market hands down
-
saddle tree stand
The saddle sits good all day but the prusik knot on the lineman belt pulls tight and is hard to readjust once it is set in. The same goes for the tether.
-
I have'nt looked back
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?
-
Jx3 hybrid
This saddle is the only one I will ever own I sold all my climbing stands and hang on stands and even eliminated my backpack with this hybrid and don't have to carry a 48lb child into the woods 4-5 miles tested in my yard and I love it don't like heights but with this hybrid anxiety completely gone thanks Mr. John for this saddle.
-
Jx3 all in one saddle system
Just unboxed it so will test it tonight don't like heights but I feel safe now with this and comfort level is everything when hunting along side safety
-
JX3
The most comfortable chair I have sat in while hunting. One other positive point I have not seen mentioned, the saddle helps support your upper body, since your upper body is supported holding a still shot is much easier. The rope work can seem daunting, but it really is not. In under an hour of practice you will be safely climbing a tree and connecting in in under 5 minutes.
-
JX3
I purchased a couple weeks ago and have sat in it in my back yard several times up to an hour and the comfort for me is second to none. Within a couple sits it was easy to use. Im happy with the purchase.
-
Jx3 hybrid
Love the saddle! I've even sold my lone wolf sit and climb which was my main means of hunting. Would have given five stars but there were a few altercations that had to be made for my personal setup. I am an arborist by trade and and climb using saddles almost daily. so therefore there were just a couple of things I had to modify before it felt at home to me.
-
Jx3 hybrid
Overall a solid piece of equipment. Pleased with it.only thing keeping it from 5 stars is mine didnt come with load hauling straps as advertised
-
Jx3
The saddle is very well designed,feature rich,looking forward giving it a try this season.
-
JX3 Hybrid is awesome!
Purchased the JX3 hybrid to try out and I was not disappointed at all. Not heavy due to the frame pack, use is just like any other saddle except the JX3 is way more comfortable! I can literal recline back and just end up asleep while waiting for game lol. Quality is great, customer service is fantastic, and shipping was extremely quick! If you are thinking about buying one don’t hesitate you won’t regret it.
-
Great product!
Get past the learning curve, a few sits, you will love it.
-
Just do it
I love this saddle, completely changed the way I hunt. Getting in the stand went from mundane to exciting. You are invisible to deer in this thing. Incredibly comfortable!
-
Very comfortable and safe
Beats the heck out of leaning up against a tree for hours like I normally did in a lock on. Super comfortable and great back support. It def feels safe being all harnessed in. And can move around in the tree very easily to avoid being spotted
-
Hybrid
Versatile, best comfort per pound of pack weight of any elevated hunting system. Extremely satisfied with the quality of construction with the JX3 Hybrid!!!!
-
Absolutely remarkable product AND customer service
Have you ever discovered a product you wanted to try, and it exceeded any and all of your expectations? The JX3 is one of those rare products. The JX3 isn’t your one trick pony either. This product serves more purposes than you can shake a stick at. I am beyond impressed. Add in the incredible customer service and you’ll be tickled pink. I can’t think of a company that I can personally talk with the guys running the show. This company genuinely cares about the product they make AND the consumer that utilizes it. I’m just a blue collar guy that actually bought and confidently uses this product every chance I get.
-
JX3 Hybrid
Great product that performs as advertised. I am new to saddle hunting and I am just getting to know the product. Very comfortable. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the leg straps are harder to adjust that I like and one of the webbed strap holders on the bridge appears to be installed in the wrong place. One side is correctly installed below the buckle and keeps the excess strap in place. The other side is above the buckle and does not do a thing. You can’t move it to the correct place without restitching that I can tell. Not that big of deal. Just a hanging strap that wouldn’t be there if it was in the correct place. Shipped fast and seems to be a great company.
-
Very comfortable, packing long distance is very easy. It is more versatile than you think
I will buy another one if this one wears out
-
Jx3 hybrid
This stand/saddle hybrid is absolutely fantastic! Only used it a handful of times but I’m loving every second! A bit of a learning curve but becoming confident In the JX3 comes with ease! These guys really knew what they were doing. You can tell it was designed by hunters for hunters
-
Great Saddle and Amazing Design
Even though it may weigh a little more than a traditional saddle it is worth it. Very comfortable for an all day sit and pairs well with the hawk helium sticks. Took me about 20 minutes to get set up right the first time but was a lot quicker after that. This saddle is built well. Very great customer service. Would recommend this over a traditional saddle.
-
Jx3 Hybrid 2nd Gen
I really appreciate the improvements over then Gen 1. This is a great piece of gear for the kit. Very comfortable for all day sits! Carries a load well & packs sticks nicely, a welcome addition! Great job John

This is the most comfortable saddle ever made.

Excellent product, well made and very comfortable. I look forward to being up in the tree with the JX3 for the rest of bow season.

JX3 best stand
Got this stand for public hunting awesome stand super comfortable love it super light easy to pack
-
Great saddle.
Easy to use, great utility, comfortable. Bow Hunter, 6ft 225lbs 60 YO. The JX3 has moved to my #1 choice of stands
-
JX3 HYBRID
Most comfortable saddle in the wood. Super fast shipping.
-
Jx3
I am very pleased with my purchase of the JX3. It is the Cadillac of saddle hunting. The only issue I have with it is the knob that tightens the whale tail broke on my 2nd sit. I am going to be contacting customer service to see if there is a fix for this.
-
the item came very quickly i think i received in 5 days
so far I used it once it is very comfortable to sit in im sure with more practice it will be my only method for hunting on state and fedral land
-
Hybrid Saddle
Great product. Would give it five stars if the leg straps had a better way to cinch them tight. Terrible design for that particular part. Other than that, I love it!
-
JX3
I have not hunted from it yet but i spent about 6 hours practicing and playing with it and i am very much looking forward to it. Quality of construction is over the top, and i feel absolutely safe in the JX3 . I am using a new method of getting into the tree called the JRB method, so i did need a shorter bridge than the one the JX3 comes with. Not an issue with quality, just a little long for the climbing method i chose. I would highly recommend the JX3 to anyone that is interested in the most comfortable saddle system i have ever tried! In a nutshell i Love it! There is no doubt in my mind that a hunter designed this piece of equipment!
-
Jx3 hybrid
I am a first time saddle user. I normally use a summit climber when hunting. Once I tired the JX3 I won’t go back to a tradition stand. The JX3 is way more comfortable than a climber or any lock on I have ever used. I use the JX3 with tree hooks and can truly hunt anywhere with ease. I travel to a lot of areas to hunt public and private. The JX3 makes it easy to walk in and hunt and not have to worry about leaving your stand behind. I would suggest that you practice shooting out of the stand. It can be a little different moving and adjust for shots if you are not use to the saddle. I had one small issue with the tree spike adjustment nut. The plastic wing nut fell off while climbing a tree. I contacted customer service and they was very quick to mail me another at no charge. The guys that run the business are very nice and more than helpful with anything. I highly recommend trying the JX3 if you use traditional stands, you will never go back.
-
JX3 Hybrid
New to sadddle hunting... THIS MAKES IT AS EASY AS CAN BE! Watch the instructional video... PRACTICE severel time before actually hunting out of it.... I bet you never go back to a climber...hang on or ladder stand. Its a high quality product and a better way to hunt!
-
JX3
Great stand! By far the most comfortable I have ever sat it. Always check the knots tho, mine was miss tied from factory but easily fixed. The jx3 really gives you flexibility to climb any tree you want.
-
Jx3
The JX3 is the most comfortable and versatile saddle I have ever used. It has allowed me hours of comfort in the tree without having to move around and fidget trying to find the sweet spot like other saddles. There was no hip pinch or pain after any of my hunts out of the JX3. A truly great product made out of quality materials.
-
JX3
Three things wrong upon arrival. Shoulder straps switched left to right, waist buckle on backwards, tether attached to the wrong loop. Bridge should probably be adjustable.
-
JX3 saddle
Best product on the market. I love it more every tome I hunt out of it
-
JX3 Hybrid Saddle
So glad I bought it! This thing is awesome. My backpack and hawk helium sticks fit right on it. It is not heavy to carry in and extremely comfortable to sit in. It is like a recliner in a tree. I was easily able to take a nap while in the tree. It seems complicated at first but after a practice run or two up the tree, it is pretty simple. I can be set up in 10 minutes. Make sure to practice shooting out of it because it takes a little bit to get used to. I am 17 and it was a lot to spend on a stand, but I knew I needed something and wanted it to be good. Definitely worth the money.
-
New JX3
Very pleased with the purchase and speed of delivery.
-
As comfortable as advertised!
Enables me to sit longer and sit still!
-
All Around Amazing
I am a person to never write reviews, but after having the JX3 for half a season I will say it’s the best, most comfortable, and safest tree stand/saddle I’ve had. The comfort, mobility, and flexibility to shoot from any angle from practically any tree has made it the best hunting purchase I have made, and led me to solely hunt from this hybrid. In addition, the customer service is UNMATCHED. I reached out with an issue I had my my hybrid, emailing customer service during the evening and had received a reply within the hour. No questions asked. Really impressed and hope more people discover this product.
-
Jx3
If the new model had the old buckles it would be a five star. Very comfortable seat.
-
JX3 Hybrid
AWESOME!!! So comfortable and I feel safe.
-
Best thing iv hunted out of
Iv hunted out of everything out there the JX3 is best hands down just like everything else just takes a little getting used to with adjusting straps and how it works but a couple times it the tree you will figure it out and the hunt is on if you can stay awake its that comfortable
-
JX3 Hybrid. Best of both worlds
After using saddles and stands, this is the best of both worlds. The weight is a concern for a lot of people but you barely feel it packing in. Works great with beast sticks and gear can sandwich between the top and bottom. I don't have to carry a pack, platform or kneepads and the comfort is unmatched. I'm not used to shooting sitting down but that's the only learning curve I've faced. Best money spent on hunting gear and a minor problem was quickly corrected by the company.
-
Jx3
Supper comfortable easy to pack but from my experience it will be much better for gun hunting then bow
-
JX3 Hybrid
I can say this for sure this saddle takes time and practice its not like any other but with the help from the JX3 staff I was able to really dial this saddle in amd now im loving it more every hunt definitely a game changer.
-
Cons:#1. The support loop that holds your weight was large even for me and I am 6' 2". I find myself pulling up the slack with the prusik knot all the way to the ball stop just about every time. #2. The adjustment straps for the back panel/reclining
The reason I went with the Hybrid instead of just the regular saddle was due to my size. 270 lbs. My back side is large and I thought this was the ticket. You can say a lot of my Cons. are user errors but it would be nice if some of the aforementioned cons were in the instructional videos at least explained in more detail as I am sure folks well versed in the use would say, that is an easy fix and this is how to solve it. The product itself is very good quality but there is a large learning curve for me. You may not think I like this product but far from it. Folks just need to know that no one thing fits everyone and you must take your time to figure out what works for you.
-
JX3 Hybrid
Love this saddle. First one I have owned and shot a deer third day. Very easy to set up once everything is untangled. Easy to move around the tree to get a good clean shot and very comfortable. Would definitely buy another and recommend!
-
Most comfortable sit I have ever had!
This stand is the most comfortable stand I've ever hunted! Very well made and has unmatched quality in the build!
-
Would be 5 stars except for two issues
I think the JX3 Hybrid is the most comfortable way to hunt I have ever found and I really like hunting out of it. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for two issues. The first issue is I had a back pack strap suddenly fail the very first time I took it out hunting I was climbing a tree in the dark when a shoulder strap suddenly broke free which caused me to think I was going to fall. I did not fall as I had the line man's rope attached, but it did give me a huge scare. I later figured out that the shoulder strap slipped through the buckle inside the frame and I was able to repair this issue myself. I do believe it was not threaded properly when assembled and that is why it failed on me. I feel the quality control should have been better or there should have been instructions on how to check the straps to ensure they are threaded properly. The second issue is the way the leg straps adjust. I find they require two hands to adjust and just make using this thing at the tree very difficult. It is very hard to get the leg straps adjusted in the dark at a tree while reaching one hand between my legs and the other behind me. I ended up adding straps to hold the JX3 in backpack mode and just wearing the leg straps all the time so I don't ever have to adjust them. If it wasn't for the two issues I listed, I would give the Hybrid 5 stars. I don't feel I should have had a backpack strap give way on me my very first time in a tree and I don't feel I should have to DIY to make it functional for me. With those issues aside, this will be my go to hunting method going forward because it is so comfortable to hunt out of.
-
JX3
Fantastic product - comfortable, safe, and simple to use. One small safety critique would be for anyone purchasing to swap the carabiners out for ones that require an intentional movement to open. Petzel and Black Diamond make them such that they are spring loaded and require a 90 degree forceful/intentional movement to open. The current ones require you to screw them tight to lock them which could fail if you forget to screw them into the locked position. The ones I described are auto locking and will only unlock/unhinge with an intentional movement. Otherwise the product is nearly perfect.
-
JX3
I've owned many saddles over the years and this is my go to for all day sits. Can't beat the comfort for long sits.
-
Love the saddle. Shot a deer day 3 of ever using it. The only thing I didn’t care for was how the back would slip off the seat if not set perfectly. Very easy to maneuver around the tree and very comfortable.
Would definitely recommend. Easy set up and comfy
-
JX3 New model
John, I gave it 5 stars even though I dont like not being able to one hand adjust the new cobra leg buckles. Thanks Jim
-
Jx3
Awesome I recommend it to every hunter. It’s very comfortable
-
Perfect
Excellent hunting seat!!! Awesome! Comfortable and quite easy to handle
-
Perfect!
New to saddle hunting. I have never tried it. First day in the saddle I sat 12+ hours. Super comfortable. I can’t believe I waited to my mid-thirties to try one. I’m 6 foot tall 240 lbs and this thing fits me like a glove. Many more years of hunting with this thing ahead of me. Don’t be afraid to try it.

JX3
I recently purchased the JX3 to gain more hunting opportunities on public land hunting. On our personal land I’ve gotten to take it out so far a total of 4 times. Each time I’ve used it to sit in the same tree as my 11 y/o to spend time, educate, and film as he sat in a single person ladder stand. I didn’t practice very much before taking out but after watching several videos regarding the use and set up I was confident I could use this safely fairly quickly in the field. This is far more comfortable than any other stand I’ve used in my 40+ years of hunting. I immediately felt safe as well. Very quiet maneuvering around the tree. I would also add that I had several questions that I emailed JX3 Outdoors and the customer service was always great. Very pleased with it and look forward to many hunts with it.

Jx3 hybrid
only way to go for saddle hunting! No "saddle shape" required. Keeps you comfy and still for long sits and to stay concealed.

JX3 Review
Excellent quality and comfort. Most comfortable saddle, and even more comfortable than any climber I've sat in. The only problems I have are with the leg/frame straps and buckles. First, the buckles seem to come detached from the frame frequently by fabric feeding back through the buckle and coming undone. Second the ability to adjust the straps is extremely difficult and tedious, both when using as leg straps and straps to hold up the frame. Other than that main issue, the rest of the saddle is perfect. I have had the carrying handle slide through the slots in the frame when it is loaded with climbing sticks and a small pack, but not as big of an issue as the leg/pack straps have been. The straps seem to pull through the tensioners, which has also happened twice on the chest strap, where the strap fed back through the loop and came unattached from the shoulder straps.

Great stand
This is a great and comfortable stand. I could sit in it for hours. As soon as some of my friends tried mine out they bought one. I would recommend it to any bow hunter.

This product is very well built

Unboxing
Having just received the JX3 and not being able to hunt out of it yet I will have to say the attention to detail for the system is amazing. I hope to spend many hours in it in the near future.

Amazing
Best hunting product on the market! The JX3 HYBRID puts me in places a typical stand could never get. this has changed the way I hunt forever and lets me sit for all day hunts and be as comfortable as possible.

Jx3 saddle
Greatest saddle ever but the straps are extremely hard to adjust with those sliders on it.

JX3
The product is comfortable but the carry straps came lose the first time I used it. Had to put it back together so I could finish hunting. Biggest problem was me being new to saddle hunting. I can't wait to hunt more from it.

JX3
This is a great product. Very well thought out. I’m new to saddle hunting and could not be happier with this seat. I was so impressed with my first one I bought a second one for my 15 year old son.

JX3 HYBRID
this is the best. you can take a nap in it. and is is little heavier to call it a saddle, but not to heavy. I wish I have the option for a smaller seat, but other then that it is the perfect tool for the job. thank you JX3 HYBRID

Best saddle you can buy!
This saddle is the best combination of weight, maneuverability, and comfort that you can buy. It's comfort is unmatched, and when paired with a lightweight climbing method, you still have a lot less weight than most climbers. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

JX3 Hybrid
I am in love with this saddle! It is very comfortable! Does require a little practice to get proficient getting set up but overall very easy. The biggest thing you will notice is the quantity right out of the box! Every piece of this thing is made with top notch materials! I couldn’t be happier!

Love my new jx3
Very satisfied with this product. I enjoy the light weight, mobility, and comfort! The fork and seat, really separates the jx3 apart from other saddle seats. The only concern I have is the lack of accessory straps/clips that is not included On the original purchase. Also I am having trouble figuring out the best way to attach my stick. Other then that great product, can’t wait to hunt all day in it!

JX3 Hybrid
While I have not hunted from this yet here are my first impressions. Quality is outstanding, fit and finish is perfect, I feel very safe hanging from this Hybrid. I have tested it out a few times in the trees outback and it is very comfortable, so much more comfortable than a regular saddle. Great customer service / sales support also.

I had several questions before purchasing and all of them were answered very quickly. After receiving the hybrid, the quality and comfort exceeded my expectations by a long shot. Cant wait for this fall!

Most comfortable seat in the woods.
Most comfortable seat in the woods like setting in your lazy boy recliner can set all day long best hunting system on the market and costumer service is bar none the best

Stayed comfortable the whole sit.
I received my new Hybrid on Monday. Today was my first hunt and it performed wonderfully. I have a lone wolf step with rock climbing aid connected to it. 4 ameristeps on a ratchet strap for a platform and it only weighs 19.4 pounds with all my essential hunting gear included. Compared to the weight of a back pack full of gear strapped to my climbing stand it feels like nothing. I sat for 3.5 hours and with a few minor adjustments, stayed comfortable throughout the sit. Unfortunately, all I saw were a couple does, so I did not take a shot. Looking forward to many more hunts. I have been using the original Guidos web for several years, and I believe the Hybrid is a little more maneuverable in the tree. It seems to not be quite as restrictive. I have a trophy line tree saddle also, but never enjoyed the hip pinch and the need for knee pads. The Hybrid or the original Guidos Web are like a Cadillac compared to that style. Good luck and happy hanging!

Great saddle
Just got my new JX3 last week and I must say I’m very impressed. I’ve been a diehard saddle hunter before saddle hunting was cool. I’ve used the Guidios Web for the past 3 seasons or so just for more comfort. Saw this and decided to give it a try and I’m certainly glad I did. Hunted out of it Saturday for the first time. The easy of packing, comfort and set up is a huge improvement over the web. Also had a beautiful 4.5 yr old 10 pointer within 6 feet of my tree for over 5 minutes that never knew l was in the world. Can’t wait to spend the season in the JX3, great job !

Easiest saddle to use.
In my opinion, this saddle is the easiest to put on a vest or jacket while in the stand and at height. I always take off the shoulder straps once I am all settled in, if you prefer to leave them on for the duration of your hunt then you will need to take them off while putting on a jacket. Then, to put on a jacket I simply loosen the backrest up so it leans back while I stay sitting upright. Then I undo the hip belt. Put on the jacket and tuck it down in the back and sides and then the front and zip it. Hook the waste belt back up and cinch the backrest back up to your preferred angle. Easy Peasy.
