I have been meaning to get a glassing pad for years. After finally pulling the trigger I can't believe I waited this long.
The pad is very compact and lightweight it went everywhere with me this fall. The back rest was incredible for glassing. After using others pads without the back rest I would not do without it. The barrier the pad provides between you and the cold ground is priceless.
I had the opportunity to spend 28 days straight in the field hunting and the pad spent every minute with me. The ease of setting up and then packing up when needing to move made it very convenient and comfortable.
There was only one situation in which I had to make some adjustments while using. On steep angles you need to take into account where you can use your boots to lock in and not go for a sleigh ride. Not the pads fault just be aware of it.
