Merlin just came in

KYRanger said:
I have a Flex, and I accidentally walked in with the leg straps snapped but not around my legs. They were snapped behind my legs. I even hunted and didn’t realize it until I finished hunting. My last two hunts I intentionally did this for the walk in to hunt. When I get to the base of the tree, I just unclip one put it around my leg and reconnect. I then do the next leg strap. Doing one at a time eliminates the buckle ends from clacking together. It worked out well and I may continue to do this. Eliminates the straps on your legs when walking in and they hang silently behind you.

I always keep them buckled unless I'm putting them on or off. Easiest way to go for me. Same with waist belt. I'm a believer they are designed to be buckled.
 
I contacted aerohunter by email and they said that the Merlin is the same size top to bottom as the flex once you expand the pleat (I think 16" they said). Has anyone pulled theirs all the way open and then measured total expanded height? The Merlin looks bigger than the flex.

I agree it looks taller or longer in the photos!
