Is the sling comfortable

You bet it is.
There is little, or zero contact against the hip bones because the sling's supports are in 2 sections.
Plus, the 2 sections are "active" and will conform to your body shape or position, which also reduces any sort of ride up that is common with 1 piece saddles.
There once was a quote about porn..."I can't define it, but I know it when I see it".
I can say something similar about the comfort of a sling...Its hard to fully describe, but you will know it when you feel it.

I keep hearing single panel saddle? WTH are y’all talking about? You mean like a single layer like the flex vs the double layer of the Kestrel? Or you mean single panel like one piece? Just curious about this new “it” word


See you in a tree, Ricky

Single panel refers to the entire supporting structure as being one piece. Kestrels, Mantis, TL,... they are all one unit that support you. So the panel can only move up or down as one piece. Some guys are always struggling with the saddle either being too low, or too high (riding up the back) and they can only adjust it (up or down) as a single unit. It seems that there is always a trade-off.
But a sling like the Treehopper Recon, the Anderson, or DIY Raptor have two units to support you and they move independently of each other. The bottom can be pulled down almost to the back of the knees (in some situations) and the top can still stay around the lumbar area of your back. And both sections can be moved to almost any position in between those extremes. The level of comfort that the variety of these positions offer is hard to describe, and hard to understand until you actually hang in one. I love mine.
