Every ounce you carry in is an ounce you carry out, and redundant gear has a way of staying in the truck after the first hard mile.

I have been using it in the field, and the difference between glassing off the ground or a rock versus having real back support and core stability is not subtle. Long glassing sessions are physically demanding, and a chair that keeps you locked in and comfortable directly translates to more time behind <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-top-5-tips-for-glassing-big-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-drt-recon-lounger-review\" title=\"DRT Recon Lounger Review: Five Jobs, One Pack Slot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">glass and more game<\/a> spotted.

The same unit rolls up and wraps around your rifle, with carbon fiber rods running parallel to the action to protect your trigger, scope, and receiver from impact during transport.
