Kestrel Sizing

Red,
What do you like better about the size 2? Anything that you don't like about the bigger size?

The waist belt is longer than I need but that’s about it. The linemans loops are further forward, and the seat is a little bigger so it’s more similar to what I’m used to. The size one has a much smaller profile.

Meaning when it's all the way right its still to big? Or there's just more slack in the excess belt ?

Just meaning you can fit it around a much bigger belly than mine. Lots of extra strap after I tighten it.
 
This thread is killing me, I wish I could get both shipped to me and keep the one I like better. Debbie is going to get sick of me... currently still have a 1 on order with a ship date of 12/20. Thinking about still changing it to a size 2 even though I’m considering a half marathon with the intent to lose some weight but I am not built to be a little fella regardless.

I'm in the same spot. I want to lose some weight but I won't ever go smaller than a 34" waist. So with extra layers and no downside to a bigger saddle then I think the size 2 will be best option.
 
My wife said I was a 32” waist In high school, but I think she is full of lies, the smallest I ever remember is 34” and I’m just a bigger build.
 
When I ordered mine, I emailed Debbie and switched back and forth a few times from size 1 to 2... I eventually landed on size 2 and glad i did. i am a 38 in waist

I’m 5’7” with the built of my father and brother who are 6’. I’m short and stocky. I’m not a big guy but I’m built like a fire hydrant. Like I said I can wear either. Knowing what I know now having both I would go up if I had doubts.
 
I did indeed go up, hoping December 20 still is a good date for a ship date even though my season will be over January 1 I plan to figure this out and be ready for next year.
