Maybe a little. Very minor. Mesh will stretch a small amount. It comes down to amount of fabric area on your hot spots and most important: ways you can adjust the saddle to minimize the size of spots. If you have the later, you WILL be happy. This equals comfort.

Does the mesh do anything to diminish hip pinch? Never owned a mesh saddle.

You can spread it out and change the angle but the only way to truly eliminate hip pinch is to have a rigid seat. You can change where the pinch is concentrated. For me that means wearing the saddle lower and using a back band. Have no rear end so hip pinch is less bothersome than sitting on a rigid seat. I’m ready to try this thing out. @g2outdoors when you’re through testing the saddle and platform you need to let me come try it and see if fat people can break it.
 
Just bought a kestrel should be here tomorrow. Do you guys think it's really that heavy? Coming from carrying my stand around no matter how heavy it is it will be a dream to carry lol . Do you guys walk worth the kestrel on or put it on when you get to the tree? Might have to buy one of these two if it's that much better lol.

The sitdrag isn't built for 5,000 lb load rating, and truly needs a rock harness backup to be safe.

Meh, the extra webbing I sewed in must have bumped the safety factor up a bit, right.
Besides, something’s got to kill me... might as well be something I enjoy doing. My insurance will keep my wife covered for about a decade.

The kestrel is awesome and if you weren’t hunting from a sit drag before you wouldn’t consider it bulky or heavy. Coming from a sit drag to a kestrel it was shocking how big it is. Just keep in mind you could roll up a sit drag and stick it in a pocket.

My personal opinion is the Kestrel is built more toward the "sitter" style in mind. Great saddle, overbuilt in some areas but with a safety benefit imo. This option looks like it optimizes the leaner niche better.

Walking in it comes down to personal preference. Kestrel is too much bulk for me other than a short walk but lots of guys walk in it. I would just rather keep it in my pack and walk unencumbered.
 
Ok first off this is gonna be ridiculously awesome. Especially for our community!! Finally a group of some of the best diyers have come together and brought it out for everyone. Now with all that said you guys suck for making us wait till 6/1 lol not cool!! I now will wait impatiently till then lol saving my pennies.
 
It has been one of the hardest things in the world to keep this a secret the last 6 months. Brutal. I'm pretty sure you guys are going to be happy with all the innovation and design that has gone into this thing. @ckossuth is a wizard and this whole thing would have been infinitely harder without his thread injector Yoda abilities.
 
Keeping my mouth shut while having knowledge of all the cool stuff we were doing was the worst.

You guys are really gonna like what we came up with. A team of saddle hunters designing saddle equipment. How could it get any better.

You will have no issues walking in this saddle. You can’t even tell you are wearing it even with the leg straps on!
