Got one last year. They are not super light weight but not heavy until you carry too much stuff like I do. The game pouch in the back fit an 18 pound bird and completely covered it up, really liked that part about it. The seat took some practice learning to flip it out as it rides inside of the vest but you can adjust it to sit without having to have a back rest. On long sits later in the year I did start carrying a cushion to sit on because there is not a lot of padding in the seat. The box call slot is well thought out also has a pie ace of fabric on the inside to separate the paddle and the box for no noise, also has a draw cord. Liked that the right side pouch will detach and can be carried separate with one of the shoulder straps. I am 6 feet, 250 and didn't have any trouble getting it adjusted to where it rode comfortable.
