Now on the other hand , I am a little different then others. I have customized a vest to fit my liking. I have a Sparten and have added extra pockets to fit the things I use on a hunt. The vest has a open consept with straps that hold it up. I find that the way I hunt I need something cool, with all the pockets ,I have a place for everything up too a water bottle. I've wore one vest right out and have another that is being done in the same manner as the first...BT

I bought a fieldline at walmart after last season on clearance for 17 dollars.

I have experience with the Cabela's ATHS, Little Bighorn Lounger, and the Super Elite 1 and 2. The Super Elite 1 did not hold up for two seasons with pretty hard hunting. The Lounger is good and you can set up anywhere but uphill with the thing. The backrest is awesome for getting caught along fencerows or openings. You just grab the strap between your legs and sit down. The frame is do rigid you can not face down a steep hill real well. From 8:30 to 10 flip it upside down and the seat becomes a head rest for a nap. The Cabela's ATHS is very compact and well though out with a pocket for everything and very accessible. I have worn this vest little because it is in Breakup and I usually hunt in green zones preferring Shadowleaf or Advantage Timber. Super Elite 2 just arrived in Mossy Oak Obsession and appears to have the best features yet of any vest I have seen. The butt pad is thick with a non-slip waterproof bottom. Seperate striker slots with buttons. 2 waterproof pockets just the right size for cameras or slate calls. A cinch tite box call pouch, two fold out orange flags, each shoulder has a non-slip neoprene strip for hold on to your favorite boom stick. Backrest is at least a 1/2 inch thick. Vests are my specialty and I would recommend the NWTF Super Elite 2 in Obsession. Any other vest or footweat questions ask away. I sound spoiled don't I?

I use a Buck Lick Easy Lounger.

Has one of them built stadium seats I find hand. Has as many pockets as you might need and the neet thing it has buckles you can undo and move a whole section of pockets right in your lap. It has a big pack bag on back which is easy to reach into from either side.

it is in Mossy Oak Break-up and I paid 50 bucks for.

It is strap vest to which I have hidden a ball compass under the left strap. Out of sight thus no glare but easy to get to if you need directions to who is lost!

Oh been usin it for 5 years now.

Got a little tip for those who need extra Butt padding if ya are old like me!

I take any old drab gym bag strap - apply the clip to either end of a Stearns camo boat cushion - and whala - you have one great butt protector. Gotta get up and move - not a problem - the gym bag strap attached to the boat cushion handles will give ya plenty of room to toss over your shoulder and outa the way.
