Buying a new saddle

I have owned three saddles in 25 yrs. Started with a original trophy line. Sold that and got my Guidos web. Just got a JX3 hybrid this fall. And will be selling my Guidos web. Don't see the need to have more than one. Find the one that works for you.
Plus ain't no way I could afford to have multiple saddles.

For all you AH folks. What’s the sizing like on the kestrel. I’m 6’2” 34-36” waist.

I’m basically the same size as you and have a No 1 flex on order. I hunted out of a M/L Trophyline Pro last fall which fit well I just didn’t care for the 2in bridge and leg straps. Like you I struggled on which size to get and would hate to have to wait another 2 months to exchange for a No 2

I'm 6'4 32-34" waist. Started with a sz1, but needed more with warm clothing. Sz 2 was perfect for me all around.

Same here. I'm 6' 35" waist and after reading every comment on the internet and watching every youtube video on the flex, size 2 was the overwhelming favorite for that size range, even without warm clothes.

Get a size 2
It will be comfy and leave room for layers as well

I currently have a Flex and a Kite. Had and sold a Kestral and Mantis. All good saddles, the two I currently have are great saddles, but I hunted out of the Flex 95% of this season. It just has a slight comfort edge and I really like the adjustable webbing bridge. Not ruling it out, but I really can't imagine being blown away by anything at this point. My wants are so personalized/ticky tacky at this point I believe I would have to custom design a saddle to improve what I have.

I will say buckle preferences are very important to me. Probably #2 behind general fitment. I've modded every saddle I want with the buckles I prefer, but it would be nice to see a la carte options.

The buckles are an absolute must!

Had a TL Ambush. Good but not great comfort.
