I've got one.  Its a good seat.  Quick, Light, super fast to get in place.

Its not a 6-8 hour seat, but for a quick sit somewhere for a couple of hours or for a person that likes to change locations throughout the day, it is "d'bomb"

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

I use mine a lot. It's so simple, just lean it against a tree and sit. There's no ground prep and you always have a back rest.

The thin foam pad is pretty sucky. I couldn't sit longer than 10 minutes. I replaced mine with a much thicker and larger pad. Much better.

I carry it over my right shoulder with the sling and can even shoot my bow with it on. It's pretty easy to navigate through the woods with it and is a lot quieter to carry than a bucket seat.

I lucked out and bought mine for half price when Summit was having a clearance sale.

I really like them and use mine as a walking stick when necessary. Great for big game and equally great for turkeys.

I used mine a few times last year. They are simple and they work great but do like Beastmaster said and add a little more or better foam for longer sits.
