Depending on the designs some can be annoying when trying to go down steep terrain as if it's say barrel down it sticks below your arse and hits the ground and can throw you off balance.
They're pretty good for traversing ground quickly, especially if you're crossing areas where there's no hunting aloud until you get to your spot.
I have a eberlestock dragonfly and quite like it, yes it's heavy but find I don't notice the pack weight if you set it up well for your body.
I find my excess fat more of a hindrance than the pack weight.
