If you could keep only one saddle to hunt with for the rest of your hunting career, which would you choose and why?

Recon. Modified, it checks all my boxes. Folds up to nothing, breaths great, very comfortable, zero hip pinch, cheap, very well built. The list goes on.

What kind of mods are you doing?

I think it's too bad they don't make it any longer.

I'm always torn between using my Kestrel any my Recon. Having a hard time deciding which I would opt for if I could only use one forever as the original post indicates.

Like I have said many times I don't know how you can improve the Kestrel! I bought it because I think it is built like a tank! I have the Kestrel, Kite and Merlin. Presently I am using the Merlin but the Kestrel is my favorite.
 
Cruzr XC and I've tried quite a few different saddles. It's the most comfortable one I've found for me.

I wish I would have gotten a kestrel while they were still being made. Keeping the XC in mind and I think I’ll try the Recon before long. It’s a good price point. So far my Latitude Classic has been awesome.

I’ve had several saddles and have tried several. The Kestrel flex and the CRUZR XC were awesome but the CRUZR Archon is my favorite. I’m sure the other 2 panels similar in design would also be comfortable.
 
I haven’t tried near enough to say. I won’t weigh in other than to say I’m happy as a clam with my drey and have no plans to try anything else.
