My first saddle ever is the lockdown and it is awesome. I'm a big guy too, and all that you've said is true! It's your videos that convinced me I could do it.
I just realized when I was looking through the comments on my videos, and I ran into one of yours, TH-cam has totally stopped sending me notifications for your videos! I feel like the same thing has been happening to me too!
Just finished watching your One Stick for 250+ and went to your uploads to see what saddle you run. Glad you like this saddle because I've been watching Lockdown videos all day, but the reviewers were a little lighter than us lol. Great Video!
So i ordered the Jx3 hybrid. Absolutely love it!...but, what i didnt understand is haw hard it would be to 1 stick. Literally almost impossible to do comfortably. Due to its ridged nature. But superb for an all day sit. So, now i have to buy thier sticks to use it. Not very small though. Its too much gear for a run and gun setup. I am ordering the lockdown today due to your video bro. I am a 240lbs fireman, and i need 3.5 hours max out of a hunt. This is perfect for a morning or evening, i will usr the jx3 for all day sirs. Thanks for your content, you have a new subscriber! 👍
Thanks for the exellent review. Your opinion matters to me. I love your videos. I have taken your advice on the Phase 4 33 ,Sevr broadheads and now im considering the lockdown for 2024. Keep up the good work.
I use the JX3 now and love it. I owned a couple others and the pinch points after all day and my knees killed me. JX3 is a Lazy Boy in a tree. My only problem with it is I have fallen asleep a few times in it. From dark to dark hunts are easy in it.
@@tomfagro6744 i take a carabineer and clip it around my suspenders in front and run an additional tether with a kong duck around the tree. The kong duck connected to the carabineer. I don't trust it fully because of the "yoke" system isn't meant to hold real weight,but it's nice to lean back a little. Or i run an additional tether around my body under the armpits but it's not as comfortable.
Hey brother, big fan. Have you tried the JX3 saddle? I have been on the fence about which saddle to purchase, as I am a big guy as well. I have watched hours and hours of videos and looked at reviews from many different companies. I have narrowed it down to the tethrd and JX3. My biggest concern is if hte JX3 will be big enough to accommodate a larger framed person. If you get a chance to try out one, and possibly review it, please let us know. Happy Hunting!
My one discomfort with mantis and phantom is my legs wanting to separate when sitting with knees into tree. I added a dryad to my phantom and it’s extremely comfortable. Only downside is one more thing to pack up at end of hunt. How do your legs feel in this saddle? Down the ability to pull it down help keep legs together when sitting?

Nice bro keep going and stay safe 💪🏾
Thanks for doing this video. That’s the saddle I’m going with. Thanks again and best of luck hunting
@@gregweever5895 right on

Yea, hunting content is totally nerfed. All good though we’ll just keep posting. Do you have bell notifications turned on?
@@PrivilegedBowhunter I do! Same here. Some videos do good others get no traction. But we are still having a good time.

Solid vid! Thanks boss! I just picked one up yesterday and am looking forward to a test run in the woods this weekend!

Right on bro, how is your season going?
Andre thanks for the DM on Facebook. Good review and you convinced me. You checked all the boxes for me.
I’m glad it helped 🙌🏾
Great review.

You can use the "yoke" suspenders as a recliner also. Good vid.
Thanks boss
Please explain how!

Awesome review 👏. God bless you and your family.
God bless you and your family as well🙌🏾
The best, most comfortable saddle made today... no doubt about it.

You can put your back band around your legs to keep them together
Is this the regular size lockdown or XL?
It’s the regular
@@PrivilegedBowhunter thank you for the quick reply! I have the same one coming this week!
@@Chasen_The_Outdoors let me know how you like it 🤙🏾
Do you have the regular size or the xl? I’m a 36-38 waist and 220 I’m wondering which size is best comfort
I have the regular, should’ve got the XL
@markmurrell1894 what did you end up going with and do you like your decision?
I am also 36-38 w, 6’2 220. Struggling with the decision on regular or xl. Any thoughts based on your experience?
@@EP-xo9ed didn’t buy the lockdown. I went with the Overwatch Outdoors Transformer saddle. It’s very comfortable!
👍👍 looks like the most comfortable seat I’ve ever seen. The back support is a must for longer sets.
Super comfortable 🤙🏾
Been a year now. Still liking it?
I do, I would get the one with removable dump pouches though
@@PrivilegedBowhunter good call. Got mine in and its a massive upgrade from the ole Mantis.
Great video! Go lions!
Beat the buccaneers 👊🏾
I love my lockdown
I’m looking forward to the all day hunts that I have coming up
🤙🏿
