I won a 1.0 model last year, I'm not a huge vest person, generally a speed seat or go commando, due to the heat but I was very impressed with this vest. The back pad is very comfortable, as is the seat, it's light and breathable, well constructed. Box call pockets could be bigger but I generally don't carry a box call. It's well thought out and I would say, honestly, worth the money. Time will tell on durability so I can't attest to that.
