Features
Upgraded Panel Management - We’ve replaced the clunky clips, snaps, and straps with a fully reengineered magnetic panel system. A continuous magnetic strip now delivers smooth, intuitive transitions between transport and hunt mode - no more lining up individual magnets. Pair that with an all-new drawstring system for fast, seamless panel deployment and adjustment. Once dialed, your panel spread locks in -no need to reset your panel distance every time you climb.
Built-In Versatility - The drawstrings don’t just manage your panels - they double as a way to carry climbing sticks up the tree. Smart design, zero waste.
Real, All-Day Comfort. - Plush, breathable, and water-resistant padding lines the Method 3 for serious comfort in any conditions. A new uniform panel structure optimizes weight distribution and eliminates pressure points - keeping you locked in and hip-pinch-free from sunup to sundown.
Single-Panel or Two-Panel? You Decide. - The Method 3 is the first saddle designed to truly function as both. It offers the adaptability and comfort of a two-panel system, with the streamlined simplicity of a single-panel when needed. No more choosing - just pure performance, custom fit, and total freedom.
Proven Features, Refined:
- Our quiet, secure rope belt system stays tight on long hikes and won’t loosen like metal buckles.
- The included Butter Bridge combines ultralight Amsteel strength with rope-style adjustability and durability - wrapped in our smooth, durable Vapor Line sheath.
- Removable leg straps and concealed connection points eliminate metal-on-metal contact - perfect for hybrid saddle hunters.

Amazing light and stealthy!
First hunt out of them shot a buck!

First set of latitude sticks for me. I love them, they are lightweight, compact, easy to install, and feel sturdy.
Best light weight quiet and comfortable platform on the market fully adjustable. If you ain’t hunting with latitude then you ain’t hunting at all.
Super stable! Just buy this! Doesn't shift once set!
Love this gear strap! Makes having all of your things easy to access while in the tree! Love bay hanging strap to!
Went from an 11MM rope to this one. Weight savings on the hips is very noticeable when hiking in far distances. I continually am impressed with Latitude products while mobile hunting products have come a long way in just the last few years. I keep transitioning to Latitude products and all their products have been upgrades over my past brands
The sticks pack in well and go up easy. They feel sturdy and safe.
I have struggled to find a gear strap that is suitable when saddle hunting. The gear strap checks all of the boxes. Easy to put on the tree adjust and add hanger
Pouch works great for storing my latitude bow holder and gear strap, attached nicely on my Jx3 hybrid saddle
In Florida so only a week's worth of use. Came from 8 mm oplux and these are much better. Light weight but stiff so easy enough to work around a tree. Friction knot is great with the tender.Glad I switched.
First time saddle, Hunter! I’m 6 foot 230 pounds and I love this thing!!
This is my second Vapor Line and my only complaint is that I didn’t order one of the smaller diameter ropes instead. Latitude makes the best saddle hunting gear on the market, period. Their customer service is second to none and they’re practically in my back yard to boot! Thanks for everything you guys do for the saddle hunting community!
They fit great and are easy to put on & off. They work well to boot. I'd recommend them to others.
Generally, the name of the game with saddle hunting is get as small/light as possible. However, I chose the XL over the regular platform and could not be happier with that decision. The advantages of having a larger platform far outweigh the advantages of having a lighter/smaller packing setup. I use the Latitude Ranger 22L bag and it is more than capable of handling the XL platform and 4 Carbon SS sticks on my pack in — you won’t even notice the difference. If you are on the fence between the two platform sizes, get the XL — it will increase your time in the trees.
Another excellent piece of gear from Latitude. The 8mm Vapor Line tree tether is impressively lightweight and compact compared to traditional, thicker ropes. It feels well made, handles nicely, and doesn't take up much space in my saddle pouch. I especially appreciate how easy it is to manage while getting set up in the tree. Paired with my Latitude Lonestar saddle and Vapor Line lineman's belt, it makes for a clean, streamlined setup without a bunch of unnecessary bulk. Exactly what I was looking for, and definitely worth the investment.
I absolutely love the features that solved the problems from my Method 2. I was not involved in submitting ideas. I hybrid one stick. I use 35ft of rope for my tether and to rappel down. I use anywhere from 1 to 4 sticks.
The gear cinch that doubles as pulling the bottom panel up is money. With the Synergy sticks cinched in, there is hardly any noticeable weight added with 2 sticks.
At hunting hight, I enjoy the stiffness of the upper panel. When you stand and take weight off the bottom panel, you can sit back down without having to adjust the bottom panel if you have it set to your desired position.
I wear in and out. The Method 3 doesn’t make noise.
Awesome saddle for hunting SRT or DRT. Super easy to adjust the 2 panels to find your comfort zone.
Great saddle! The most comfortable saddle I’ve sat in. Best part is using the draw string to hold my sticks going up the tree.
The Latitude Gear Strap is a great product! Lightweight and compact, with adjustable loops that make it easy to customize your setup and keep your gear organized in the tree. Simple, practical, and a great addition to a hunting setup
Great product, easy use for first time saddle hunter and holds deadly tight to the tree. Plenty of room for a 300lb size 13.
Honestly as someone whose used a bunch of platforms when this whole mobile hunting craze blew up...the latitude profile platform has a mix of nostalgia that I actually very much like and appreciate.
They include an angled edge for feet fatigue, sharp teeth, innovative compactness, awesom3 no slick platform texture and good ol' fashion cam buckle that's tried and true with no figure 8 this figure 8 that attachment method.
It's honestly just pretty solid and I love this platform for that.
Had the XL, but was a bit too beefy for me. The REGULAR size was money and fits my Eberlestock Bandit perfectly with their latitude synergy sticks.
Don't hesistste to buy one!
