Latitude Outdoors has announced the addition of the Maverick to its lineup of saddle-hunting systems. Designed for on-the-go mobile hunters, this ultralight, single-panel saddle gives hunters the freedom to quickly adjust their hunting locations to match the demands of hunting pressure and wildlife movement. This makes the system a favorite among those who hunt public land use and during peak rut activity when deer are the most unpredictable. 

Maverick Lifestyle Support

Among the most packable and mobile setup on the market, the Maverick makes entering and exiting the field easier than ever before. Its compact and sleek build is complemented by a first-of-its-kind four-inch webbing design, which offers increased comfort throughout extended sits by eliminating specific pressure points, effectively relieving hip pinch for users. The Maverick also features textured lineman belt loops, allowing users to identify the correct loop to clip into by touch, which can be crucial when maneuvering through low-light situations.

“The Maverick brings extreme versatility to our product line and will allow hunters to experience levels of mobility that we haven’t seen in this industry,” said Alex Chopp, co-founder and chief brand officer at Latitude Outdoors. “We recognized the need for a saddle system that takes a minimalist approach, without sacrificing comfortability. Similar to our 2-panel saddle, the Method 2, the Maverick is the result of dedicated research and field testing by some of the industry’s top hunters. It truly is the lightest and most maneuverable option on the market, designed specifically to help hunters fill tags—not slow them down.”
