ive had both kinds..the HS one and the field line one...the field line lasted most of the season....the HS didnt make it passed the second hunt....air came out soon as i sat on it...my dad had them too...same thing....i dont know if we are to hard on them or what but to us they were a waste of 15-20 bux...i hate carrying seats anyway or even strapping them on so now the one in my vest is enough for me....deer hunting im getting a collapsable seat...no more sitting in snow for me! turkey hunting i agree it would be a burden to lug around on some of the hikes we go through...
