Ok, I have a DIY saddle I got off FB and love it, or well the idea at least. Practiced all summer and sat for 3 hours sunday and came to the conclusion I want a different saddle. I'm getting hip pinch with my DIY. I'd like to try another saddle to see if the comfort does exist for me.

Open to single and dual panel's. I have all the rope's needed. just looking for saddle and maybe pouches.

I'm 38 waist 235lbs- So XL sizes on most.

Tethrd, Tropyline, Cruzr, Latitude- open to others (NO hawk, xop, or DIY)

PM me what you have and price please! Thanks!!
 
@RMcDonald7 - My first recommendation for you is the 2-panel Overwatch Outdoors Transformer. Everybody is different, but my experience with it is that I get zero hip pinch from this saddle, and it is the best quality saddle I've ever seen or used. (And I've bought and tried 7 different saddles!) I used it for most of my sits last year, with some all-day rut sits from dark to dark. You would be a size 2 based on your waist size*. You can keep the panels snugged together and it's more like a single panel, but if you're like me you'll separate the panels during use and enjoy the full comfort of a 2-panel. There's a good price on 2 of the Size 2 Transformers that look lightly-used the classifieds:

Based on the pics, this looks like it's one made by the factory with the latest buckle & rings (they are smaller & preferable):

There's another one in the classifieds here, and based on the use of "Multicam black" fabric and the larger D-rings in the pics it looks like it's one that was personally made by Jamie Cline (JCLINE84), the owner of Overwatch Outdoors, before he got the factory team going on production of the Transformer:

My second recommendation for your would be the Cruzr XC, size 2. (Because the size 2 has tons of room, even for guys at the top end of the waist size recommendation, and the size 3 is huge!) I don't see any of the Cruzr XC size 2 saddles in the Classifieds right now though.

*From the OverwatchOutdoors website, "Sizing is pretty straight forward and does not need to be exact. A size 1 is recommended for waist sizes up to 38 inches, for 38 and above a size 2 should fit well. If I was a size 37-38 I would upgrade to a size 2 just to have room for layering."

Just to add to this, I tried about 20 saddles over two years and really struggled with hip pinch. I bought one of the first Overwatch transformers and didn’t look back. No hip pinch and it has been my only saddle I have used all last season. That said, I did remove the D rings which may be heresy. Nonetheless, you won’t be disappointed with a transformer or probably any of Overwatch outdoors saddles.
