5’9.5” and currently weigh around 182. I have a longish torso for my height I think. Around 19-19.5”. Athletic build but slightly overweight at the moment.
Should I go 25 or 26.5? Mostly hunting thick swampy areas, often wearing waders. Not carrying super heavy loads. Often saddle hunting setups, chair that straps to a tree, heavy jacket/rain gear, etc. Bow or rifle.
The 25” seems like the choice for the hunting environment and use but fit is super important and concerned with torso length- really want this to be super comfortable. My Eberlestock x2 isn’t cutting it.
Way too much weight on my shoulders which I hear is common with longer torso lengths.
