6'3", 250, probably 275 or more with all my gear on, no probs. I'm switching from Tethrd Mantis to either Kestrel Flex or Wild Edge Yarak if I can get one. Switching not due to any problems with the Mantis necessarily, have just heard the others are more comfortable for us fluffier dudes. Plus that little shoestring of a bridge on the Mantis just makes me nervous. I'm positive it's as strong as claimed, it's just a little counterintuitive to trust all that weight to something the size of my hoodie drawstring.... If you're going to use Wild Edge Stepps and the Perch, (I highly recommend both btw), be sure to watch Greg Staggs' video on how to kind of over-cam the step used as the base for your Perch, this made a big difference in the Perch's stability. Also, in general, watch the Wild Edge released how to videos on attaching the Stepps, I've seen some other people taking shortcuts, and I don't trust a shortcut to what's already really easy and was the approach designed by the DESIGNER.
Buy climbing rated items looking at both static and dynamic strength, and don't go cheap on anything that will bear your weight, you get what you pay for, so if you pay not much, you'll probably get, well, dead.....I'd also just say don't necessarily follow the trends out there with drilling everything out to make it lighter. We're big guys, and you put a little side load on something rated for 350-400 lbs that has had it's longitudinal strength compromised by material being removed, it's going to fold on you, esp with sticks and things like that. Have fun and as always practice low and slow and work your way up!
I was in same boat last year. 6' 270lb. Sat in a buddy of mine (way smaller) Mantis. Loved the concept, hated the fit. Called the guys at New Breed asking about Krestle Flex, put a order in that day and haven't looked back since.Looking to get into saddle hunting.

I’m really wanting to try the flex. Seems like the deal for bigger is bigger frame guys.Hey man
You will LOVE the flex
Yarak gains you no visible advantage over the flex
I like my wild edge steps a lot
Just not the perch
I have size 16 feet and the top teeth on the perch always scoot away from the tree
I got the ridge runner and the ambush , much better
Yes there are different methods to cam over the step but the ropes need to stretch for awhile to get any creep out
Just wanted to throw that out there
I tried and tried to make it work, but never could get the ropes to stretch enough (I lift and do physical labor daily )
Did u do a rope swap?
Also I agree, the bikini string amsteel bridge does not look or feel secure . You will love the predator line.
Also my Flex came from the factory with an adjustable bridge
So U can enjoy all new “hype” without the hype and feel extremely safe while doing it
Be safe, my plus sized tree dwelling brethren!
Big guys need to get saddle Hangtime too !
