I replaced my 15 yr old vest with a super elite this spring. I mostly like the super elite, but there are a couple things I don't like. I normally put my decoys in the back pouch of a vest and with the way the seat pad attaches on both sides of the super elite I have to unbuckle the seat to take my decoys in and out. I will say this spring I have mostly not used the seat because I was using my gobbler lounger, so this hasn't been too big of a problem. Also, the mesh water bottle pocket is on the on the right side of the vest and since I usually sling my shotgun on my right shoulder, the stock will hit my water bottle making noise as I walk if I'm not careful. So, I put the bottle in the back pouch, but again the way the seat is buckled, it makes it tough to reach around and get to it.
