I just bought the vest this year for my son who is new to hunting. Easy to use, the lenght of the straps took a while to figure out but now that we have a system, He doesn' t know it is on and I am confortable that my boy is safe. I don' t know what a seat of the p[ants looks like but it is all about safety first and comfort second. I use a belt and know I should use more but I just don' t like being confined.
