Saddles

Saddle Hunting Gear, Built to Move

Saddle hunting is the lightest, most mobile way up a tree — and into spots a treestand never could reach. Instead of hauling a bulky stand, you wear the saddle, climb with a few sticks, stand on a compact platform, and tuck into trees most hunters walk right past. Less weight, less noise, and the freedom to hang wherever the deer are actually moving. This is the gear that makes it work.

The Saddle

The saddle is the seat you hang in all day, so comfort and packability are everything. We carry the Hawk Helium Hammock Tree Saddle — a lightweight saddle built for long, comfortable sits — and the lighter, lower-cost CRUZR for hunters easing into the method.

The Platform

A platform gives you a stable place to stand, shift, and shoot. The Helium Hammock Full Platform is the all-day choice; the Helium Hammock Small Platform trades size for weight when you are packing deep.

Climbing Sticks

Sticks get you up the tree, and the one-stick crowd has turned packing light into an art form. Browse our climbing sticks — including the Helium 20" Gen 2 and 30" Gen 2 sets, plus Helium Steps for a true minimalist climb.

Stay Tethered

Saddle hunting is only as safe as your connection to the tree. A full-body harness and a safety line keep you connected from the ground up — non-negotiable, every hunt.

From the saddle to the last carabiner, everything you need to build a complete saddle hunting setup is here. Pick your saddle, add a platform and sticks, and get into the trees the deer think are safe.
