The Best Tree Saddles | MeatEater Gear

Saddles rarely include additional accessories, especially necessary ones required to hunt. If they do, they don’t come cheap. Tethrd’s Workhorse saddle (under their Grit moniker), includes a tree tether, lineman rope, integrated pockets, and a back recliner for $299. If you’re unfamiliar with the going rate of saddle equipment, that’s a heck of a deal. You’ll easily spend $100 just on ropes. Additional pockets or dump pouches can run anywhere north of $40 apiece. The sub-$300 price tag makes the Workhorse saddle a steal.

Perhaps the best thing about the Workhorse is the saddle-bag-sized pockets. Not only do you have plenty of room to store your lineman belt and tree tether, but you can stash plenty of other gear, like a HYS strap, gloves, bow hanger, etc., as well.

There’s a lack of adjustability when it comes to the seat, but the Regular and XL sizes should accommodate most hunters. If I didn’t already have a few saddles, this one would be on the top of my list. The Workhorse’s overall value leaves little room for criticism. I will say the material, though quiet, isn’t as breathable as most options that use mesh seats. And if you’re burning some miles in the early season, things could get a bit swampy.

You also won’t find any of Tethrd’s premium features on this saddle, like an abundance of Molle loops or the comfort channels, and it’s only available in Mossy Oak Bottomland or Realtree APX. However, if you’re a new saddle hunter or on a budget, the Workhorse should catch your attention.
