Frame Recommendations for a Short Guy

[cut_of_the_eye]

I am 5'7, 150lbs; Can anyone of similar stature share sizing/fitment-related positive or negative experiences with their frames....

I am a northeastern saddle hunter specifically considering a Kifaru Tactical 24"/ Stryker XL combo.

I'm the same height but I've got 10 more #'s on you. I use a '17 24" kifaru duplex hunter frame. I think this model is the old tactical frame. I wear 33-34" pants and started with a small belt. I bought a used medium belt and prefer it. Both belts work but the actual webbing on the small belt would bottom out when I loosened it to take off/put on and get buried in the buckle. I use a MT warrior bag on it but the bags are all personal preference. I've owned 4-5 different bags and they were all great. Good luck!

24" Kifaru Duplex Hunter frame with XS belt fits me well at 5'8" 130lbs.

Curious about your XS belt...I am a 30" waist and the Small is listed as 31-34". Did you call to order that? In any case I will give them a call.

I wear 29-30" waist pants. Kifaru's small belt still felt a bit loose when snugged all the way down. I bought an older XS belt secondhand here on Rokslide and it fits me very well. I've carried 80# loads with no belt slippage.

Awesome guys, thanks for chiming in. I am 29-30" waist as well so I would probably find the Small a bit loose as well.
