I am new to the saddle hunting world and am planning on ordering an Aero hunter kestrel kit for my first saddle. Looking for some feedback on the sizing of these saddles. The sizes offered are 26"-36" and 37"-46" for the waist. I wear a 34" waist for regular pants so I'm not sure if I should try the larger size to compensate for the added layers of cloths that I will have on. Any feedback on sizing or just the kestrel in general is appreciated, thanks!

Kestrel saddle sizing

Did you have a big butt or wide hips? Or do you suffer from noassat’all disease? Former - 2, latter -1
You are probably ok with a size 1. I'm a 36" waister and short and stocky and the size 2 is much better for me.

33” waist. The size 1 is good for me. I don’t like things big though.

I have the Kite from Aero hunter. I do not know if the Kite and Kestrel have the exact same sizing. I’m a 34 waist and am 225 and 6’2” athletic type build. The size 2 fits me very comfortably, I could easily sleep in it with the back band. I thought I would go with the larger size as some on this site have recommended to make sure bulky winter clothes do not cause issues. There isn’t bunched material anywhere or anything that would make me think this saddle is too big for me.
I’m very glad I went with the Kite over the Kestrel so far. The mesh allows the wind to cool me off as I’m practicing this summer.

Thanks for the feedback. I might actually look into the kite since I heard the kestrel is pretty far behind schedule and I want to have time to practice before the season starts. Going to try to contact Aero hunter for their wait times
