Like the American Express commercial says I "don't leave home without it". Also have had mine for 20 years+. I punctured it once by sitting it on some unseen catbriars and I just replaced the inner tube with one from the tire store. I could have patched it, but the tube was only $10. Fieldline used to make one similar to Breedloves, but it had a Cordura cover that was even more puncture resistant. I bought it at Wal-Mart and have both. Breedloves seat to me is all pros and no cons. I sit still for long periods without fidgetting , because my tail does not hurt. Sitting still, we all know, is probably one of the most important tips in successful Turkey hunting. If it is going to rain I stuff my nylon rain suit inside the donut hole.These seats are one of the important pieces of Turkey gear that I own.
