Simple kestrel flex review

My flex arrived last Friday. I haven't put any serious time in it yet but here are my first impressions:
Love the new linemans loop locations. The saddle seems to be significantly lighter than my original kestrel. I got the adjustable webbing bridge and I think I'm going to like it a lot.

I'm going to hold off on judgement of comfort until I've got to put a serious sit in it. It seemed pretty comfortable right off the bat but you can't judge performance until you're in a hunting situation. As for the flex section, I don't really see that doing much for me but time will tell. It looks like it will adjust larger easily while sitting in it but going smaller will be pretty tough.
Can't wait to hear how it compares to your Kite. I'm still on the fence for a 4th saddle:rolleyes:.

You can never have enough. Now is the time to stock up. When the saddle hunting boom crashes you'll be set for life :)
