I'm definitely liking what I see but, this will have to wait until at least Xmas. I have been harping on my wife to cut out ALL misc expenses as we build a small cabin in VA. I think this falls into that category.

Also, I sold my size 1 Kestrel because it was just a little too small and I was going to order a size 2 for my next saddle. But, now that I have lost 20 lbs over the winter I don't know what size to get once again.

If it helps I never tried a size 1 just got a size 2 off of recommendations.. I am only 5'7" 160lbs bout a 31-32inch waste and it fits me great, I dont feel like it is 2 large at all and it is very comfortable sitting and leaning.

I've been really thinking about an anderson sling and its fit. Never tried one but I think it would solve some issues I have.So it goes without saying the flex has my attention. Waiting on peoples reviews.

I’ll wait to see what Trophyline puts out before spending more money on saddles, but I have had this flex in my cart already lol. Like @swampsnyper said, will be waiting on reviews. But I like the looks of this Flex, I wonder when the Flex back band will be available??

I've discovered I'm not much for listening to someone else's opinion on why they like something. Everyones bum if shaped different and desires different things. I know I haven't been around too many saddles, but I have owned 2 TL's one mesh and one neoprene, a mantis, and sit drag with RCH. I have been able to achieve comfort in all of those, good comfort; not just able to sit for an hour or so. Even a stand like a summit requires me to do a little adjusting to get it to maximum comfort.

I am not sure if i'll pick one up yet, but I know i'll at least be building me a saddle in a couple weeks. I am very pleased with my sit drag though. I may just invest in making it a more safe option where something else isn't required. I did like how packable the mantis was, but I didn't feel like it was a huge deal and I always wore it everywhere I went. Which lead to me not liking how floppy(probably a poor term to use) it was. I believe I would have liked a stiffer material.

I ordered last night, when it is shipping and why is it taking them so long?! I promise this will be the one and only time I do that and I hope everyone else will follow suit and lay off those from now on, before they start. Let them do their thing and get them out as they can. Remember, rushing production always leads to quality issues, and quality issues for us equals injuries or fatalities. Again, it's a great day to be a saddle hunter friends!

Just curious as I've always seen people mention Aerohunter gives shipping dates when ordering and hits their target. Are they giving dates when you order the Flex?

My kestrel shipped fast; 3 weeks I think it was and they actually got it to me faster than they initially indicated. I have absolutely zero issues with waiting on production times for a well-made product that’s going to beef up my ability to get farther and stay longer. That said...the 8 weeks or whatever the heck it is on the wild edge stepps needs to get going!

Aah crap! that's how it starts! I was hoping the put away a 1000 or so so they could pump out the orders!
My order says this:
"IMPORTANT: If you ordered an item that is marked Pre-Order in the Aero Hunter store, that means it is in production now. Please allow one or two weeks for your item to be ready for shipping. We will notify you when your order ships and provide a tracking number. At any time, please ask if you want an update about your estimated ship date. If you prefer not to wait, let us know. We will cancel your order and cheerfully refund your payment. Thank you!" I ordered this morning.

Some real potential for comfort with this design - I'm very interested. New Tribe makes quality stuff, no doubt, so this should be a really nice saddle..
