I FINALLY got to hang in mine for a while (I've been sick all week).
There is a bit of a feeling you are falling forward out of it compared to the EVO. Good news is that it isn't cutting into your legs.
Very happy with it so far.
Any opinions on tether height? I am starting high so I have extra rope available and I am going to be using a GriGri a lot and it gets too into the tree with a short tether.
I also like the option of standing very tall to stretch, hanging 'nuts to bark' to rest, letting my grigri down lower to squat and bend my knees. The Kestrel feels good in all of those positions.
It will be interesting to hear from some big guys. I am moderately big. 6'1" 205# 35" waist, 46 jacket. At some angles, the bridge can kind of get into your ribs a bit. Will take a little experimenting to understand the math.
