Thoughts on oversized saddle?

RLM said:
I ran into Latitude guys at Total Archery Challenge here in MI back in June. I was torn between Archon and Method 2, leaning towards the Archon due to larger bottom panel for one sticking. I’m 5’9” 190lbs and 34” waist. After talking and leaning for a bit, they suggested to try out the xl. It never really crossed my mind but after trying, I knew that was it. Just spent about 8 hrs from two hunts(youth season) and don’t regret it a bit. Walked to one stand just over a half mile and never noticed. Cold gear in Nov-Dec will still be plenty comfy

That's was I was thinking but was on the fence. If you don't mind, what size waist are you?
 
5’9” 190lbs 34” waist. Rope belt is nice and the saddle doesn’t seem too bulky. The bridge and lineman loops are not to far forward either. I very satisfied so far, coming from a phantom

First off love the avatar. I have a Blackbeard tattoo on my leg. Also, you may never become a saddle hunter if you hold out for a TX5 to come in stock!

Single panels always gave me hip pinch until I got a TX5. Really like the reaper plus he has a new expandable model now. Might sell my method now and just use my TX5.
I went with the appropriate size per their website too.
 
I bought both the method2 and XL as well as an Archon. I posted some pics in another thread if me wearing all 3. Search my content under my profile and you find them.

I'm 5'11 200lbs 33-34" waist

Found it. Yeah the XL with the larger bottom looks the way to go.

I couldn't resist & ended up getting a TX5.

I think I'm about to do the same. Didn't realize how much to I hung in the reaper. That thing is amazing.
