Yes, there is a small amount of padding in the top back area. I measured it & it is approximately 7" x 7" & about 1" thick.

yes and I've found it pretty comfortable sitting for a long period without having to move around much. what you'll really enjoy is the thick padded cushion that's a butt saver.

No, it does not have a cushin in the back, but if you have a stool you can use the seat cushion or you can put your own cushion in the game bag.

answer 2
I am 6', weigh 200 lbs, have a 43" chest, and a 38" waist. I have tried on both the XL/XXL and the M/L, and for me the M/L was a much better fit. I could have worn the larger size, but the smaller size was better regardless of whether I was wearing a cold weather jacket or a simply a jersey. I am one of those people who sometimes wear L and sometimes wear XL. This vest is nicely adjustable to accommodate extra bulk clothing if necessary.

I wear 36 pants and 43 jacket. I would go with x-large if you plan on putting a lot of things in your vest.

I had a similar question and talked to the Bass Pro Customer Service Rep. at lenght about this because the sizing is XL-XXL. I bought the XL-XXL and made the correct choice I think. [In jackets and sweatshirts and tees I wear large stuff sometimes and extra large stuff sometimes (44 sometimes; 46 sometimes) depending on brand.] The XL-XXL fits me great with enough room to wear it over a jacket in cool weather in early Spring Gobbler season here in WV (Mid-April to Late-May).

I am the same size as you and still had plenty of room .the front of the vest has 2 adjustment straps that can be brought in of let out. I purchased the biggest size they had and even sitting with the cushion down it didn't restrict my shoulders from moving and was very comfortable
