This Hawk Helium Saddle Kit was my introduction to saddle hunting. It was also the cheapest way to get in a saddle to hunt. The saddle itself seemed to be made well, but the bridge began to unbed after the first sit. The ropes, carabiners, and bridge just aren't made of good-quality material. I've replaced those items. If I would've bought a saddle from a different manufacturer I would've spent about the same amount of money, but I don't believe that I would have had to replace parts so soon.
