The Next Evolution in Two-Panel Saddle Design.
Five years ago, the original Method saddle revolutionized the mobile hunting world -launching the first-ever, true two-panel saddle. With each generation, we’ve refined the design based on direct feedback from thousands of hardcore mobile hunters. The Method 3 is the result.
At its core, the Method 3 is built for one thing: total adaptability without compromise.
The Method 3 is more than an upgrade—it’s a complete rethinking of what a saddle can be. For those who demand all-day comfort, effortless setup, and total versatility, the wait is over.
Assembled in the USA
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.

Customer Reviews
I bought a Method 2 last year and wanted to try saddle hunting. I suffer from a lower back injury so the 2 panel saddle with the ability to have low back support seemed like a good idea. I never could get comfortable while trying to sit in the Method 2. Leaning was fine. This year I bought the Method 3 and all I can say is WOW! What an upgrade. I can sit or lean and am very comfortable and I feel like the Method 3 supports my lower back even more. Love the Method 3!
I had another brands saddle for years and always fought hip pinch and slippage. This thing cradles you like a damn baby. The amount of adjustment and padding is what does it. Super comfortable walking in as well, even with a bulky pack on.
Decided to go with this saddle for my first one ever and exactly what I hoped it would be and more. I have made three sets in it now and as I learn more about the process the better it’s getting. The saddle does everything it says and more!! Even though I haven’t had any other saddles would definitely recommend to new and experienced saddle hunters.
Pros- THE most comfortable saddle EVER
Great “belt” and bridge
Lightweight
Mostly great design
Cons-
2 rows of molle kinda sucks, really needs 3 rows for a lot of pouches
If pouches are installed that extend over the 2 rows of molle then the magnetic connector is just a gimmick.
Could use a double molle on the thigh portion to attach small pouch for descenders, lrf, or release (its currently dead space)
Overall I love this saddle but the magnetic connector is poor. I tried walking even without pouches and the lower portion falls off most of the time. Would but again!
I tried saddle hunting about 4 years ago. I started out with the latitude classic 2. After one season I was thinking how do people say this is comfortable. The classic 2 was amazing in every way but I thought it was uncomfortable. NOW, let me tell you the method 3 has solved the comfort part for me. I have hunted archery season here in Florida this year and have no complaints. If you are on the fence about saddle hunting because of comfort, hop down off that fence because latitude has solved that issue. Absolutely the most comfortable saddle on the market.
