Personally Ohio,just speaking for myself I like to travel light afield,and dont have a need for the seat!My vest has a buttseat attached to it,and I wear a belt that has another seat attached to it also,so really I have 2 cushioned seats that I dont have to take off or set-up to sit on.Often times I also set-up in a prone position depending on the terrain and openness of the ground I hunt and never even use the seats!But hey,they do look comfy and those that use em swaer by em!!
