For those willing to carry just a bit more into the field, this saddle is designed for maximum comfort and longevity. Tethrd wanted to reimagine comfort and user-friendliness. The Ultralock takes the best-in-class features from the Phantom like the UtiliBridge™, Comfort Channels™, and integrated lineman loops and adds in the Expandable Saddle Body with Ultralock Link construction to create a mega-comfortable saddle that expands and contracts with you throughout your hunt. Not only does the Ultralock revolutionize comfort in a saddle, but the new oversized Ultralock Haulers with integrated skeleton frame make frustrating gear access a thing of the past. Finally, the new bomb proof yoke system means you can load up your Ultralock and not worry about keeping it in place. The Ultralock is the next evolution in saddle hunting comfort. Features: UltraLock Links: The brand new Ultralock Links are a fresh take on an expandable saddle. The biggest complaint with pleated saddles is the inability to close the pleat while in transport mode moving to and from your hunting area. They tend to open at the wrong time and flop around. Pleated saddles all suffer from this issue and can lead to an annoying user experience. Tethrd re-engineered the concept and created an Expandable Saddle Body to work hand-in-hand with our Ultralock Link system to solve this issue. Their Expandable Saddle Body allows the saddle to move with you while walking, climbing, and hunting. The Ultralock Links are removable, adjustable, and user replaceable. Hunters can dial in their specific comfort setting, and replace them if they wear out, get lost, or get damaged. You get two sets with the Ultralock : 1 pre-installed, and 1 replacement set. UltraLock Haulers: The brand new Ultralock Hauler with built in IFS (Internal Frame Structure) is the first of its kind. With IFS, gear management becomes so much easier. Ultralock Haulers work like a dream by providing an incredibly simple one-handed operation. Tethrd also made the Ultralock haulers plenty big for those who like to carry lots of gear. They doubled the volume compared to the original SYS Haulers, while reducing the exterior profile to make the Ultralock even more sleek. They're sewn right into the saddle body which adds structure & comfort to the entire system. Finally, they added plenty of organization, and even a built-in grommet system for those who use a retractable gear hoist. UltraLock Modular Yoke: The brand new Yoke System takes Tethrd saddles to the next level. If you have issues with your saddle not wanting to stay put where you like it, their Yoke will solve that problem. It's light weight, modular, and bombproof. The Ultralock comes with the Yoke ready to go. It's also removable in about 15 seconds. If you want to run your Ultralock in minimalist mode, drop the Yoke at home and head to the woods. Finally, the Yoke is backwards compatible with our Phantom Saddle for when you want to hunt even lighter and faster. UtiliBridge: The patented UtiliBridge™ is the KING of adjustable saddle hunting bridges. Your bridge is incredibly important for comfort, durability, and 360 degree shooting. With nearly 40 inches of on-the-fly adjustability, everyone can find their saddle hunting sweet spot. UtiliBridge™ works with your setup to make every hunt as simple as possible. The patented Comfort Channels™ provide all day, unsurpassed comfort with seven different high, medium, and low support settings. The Comfort Channels allow simple, one-handed adjustment for leaning trees and weird positions, while giving you full control over where you need support most. Made in the USA: In order to protect your wallets, Tethrd chose to manufacture the Ultralock in a unique way. They built the load bearing components (Saddle Chassis, Bridge Loops, UtiliBridge, Lineman Loops, etc.) here in the USA. To save you money, they imported the non-load bearing components (Ultralock Haulers & Yoke) from their overseas partners and assembled everything right here in Texas. This way you get the best of both worlds: Made in America load bearing components & assembly, and wallet-friendly off-shore accessories. So rest assured, if you see any "made in China" tags or uninformed comments on social media...that only applies to the non-load bearing accessories. Tethrd wants to be transparent and honest so there's no surprises.
