Ledehawk FLX Saddle

Hawk's latest product launch features two purpose-built pieces engineered to elevate modern saddle hunting systems: the Solace Platform and Helium FLX Saddle.

Featuring an extra-large 13"L x 16"W, textured, no-slip cast-aluminum surface rated to support up to 350 pounds, the Solace Platform provides ample room to maneuver while maintaining an ultralight 5.5 pound carry weight. Its Bark Biter offset bracket locks securely against uneven trunks, while an integrated leveling system allows for precise adjustments on imperfect trees. A Versa Button Strap enables fast, quiet attachment and, when it's time to move, the recessed design folds completely flat, simplifying long hikes in tough terrain.

Paired with the Solace Platform is the new Helium FLX Saddle. Built around a lightweight, load-efficient chassis, it minimizes bulk while providing the ergonomic support saddle hunters demand. It includes a no-slip, rubber-lined waistband, adjustable suspension system and integrated MOLLE attachment points that create a secure, customizable fit, quickly adapting to any tree, any angle, and any setup.
