I'm a little late to the post but I just ordered my Kestrel Size 2 today. The status says "Pre-Order" and shipping could be delayed for 1 to 6 weeks. I'm really hoping it's less than that. I wanted to make sure I had time to use it and get comfortable with it. You guys were all smart to jump on it in the spring. I'm late but at least it's on the way. I didn't even know there was anything like this out there until a couple weeks ago.
Welcome, the Kestrel is a great saddle you will love it. But we are getting new options all the time so do your homework and ask questions to be well informed on here.

I was 1854 on 7/9 and still no word here either. I was really hoping to have either my kite or mantis by this weekend as it's my best shot to practice with them for almost a month, but looks like no dice on either. Oh well.
I am order 1861 on July 10 and was told that they should have my order shipped within 2 weeks. I haven't heard anything since. Based on how quick those first orders went out i thought my order would at least have shipped by now. Guess not.
What's your waist size? I'm a 34 waist, 5'8", 175 lbs. Waiting on the quick release let buckles so mine won't ship until september. Wondering if I should revise my order to size 2. Any thoughts?
How did you find out it wouldn’t ship until September?

I am alot bigger than that I have a kestrel in size 2. I am 5'10" was 223 pounds waist size 38 and the size 2 fits perfect. I did lose 8 pounds since I last hunted with it last season. I am 215 just tried it on still good. I think you would be ok with a size 1.
I am 6' 170. I layer pretty heavy in frigid temps. Even in summer wear its super comfy
They told me mine would ship by August 3rd. So what's up with the leg buckles? I was just looking at their site and it's a $26 option to get the quick snap buckles??? I swear that wasn't there when I placed the order. Part of the reason I ordered the kestrel over the kite was because of the buckles. I did exchange a couple emails when I first placed my order (July 17) and always got a prompt reply (within a few hours). I emailed them about the question with the leg buckles 3 days ago and haven't heard back. I'm getting frustrated.

Yea it wasnt there when I ordered either but then I read their FAQ and it mentioned that the price had gone down and why. So, I emailed them and they said they could put the order on hold until the buckles were available (LATE SEPT), and pay the $26 difference via credit card over the phone, which I did. Now it shows up as an actual purchase option (FAQ indicated it was going to do so soon at the time I ordered)
Basically the quick release buckles (smaller leg loop ones, not larger waist buckle) are out of stock by the producer and they say they wont be available until late Sept. They say the new standard ones are lighter.
