How many of you are going to buy a new saddle this year and how many saddles do you own already ? I have four but I like to get one of the new saddles and maybe sell one of the four I already have .
 
I have a Flex in Predator a Kestrel also a Guido's web and a Treesuit. I like the looks of the Phantom and Areohunter Kite now which one to get .
 
No got a saddle that is more than comfortable. Can’t take more than one up a tree at a time, so I don’t see the point in collecting personally but to each their own.

Have one kestrel flex
Ordering 2 more and a kite with leg buckles (wife/kids)
Aero Hunter has held the game for a long time for a reason and been around for a very long time so it’s easy to trust them especially after using their products.
I’m not a fad buyer so not interested in anything that is new out right now since there are very minimal changes (and they all have names ).
If AH drops something new I’ll investigate and possibly try it since I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far.
Be safe fellas !

how is the flex compared to the kestrel?
I like them both . They are both comfortable but if I had to choose I would lean towards the Flex. I love the Predator camo the flex has. I would like to have a mesh saddle for hot weather hunts so that's why I'm looking at a Kite or Phantom. If I order a Kite I would have them put the raptor buckles on the leg strap and waist belt that are on the Flex and move the linesman loops farther forward.
 
I ordered a Kestrel for curiosity sake. I like my Trophyline just fine.
I plan on giving one to my nephew after I compare them. I was told I should get it in February as they are running about 10 weeks out. This we shall see.

If they use the buckles from the kestrel on a kite, I’d go that route myself too.
